Today, Ben and Mandy discuss dependent visas and what they need to know before their U.S. Visa Interview. Those applying for a dependent visa can do their visa interview at the same time as the main applicant or at a later date. Deciding when to do your interview and being well-prepared for that interview is essential to making sure your family is not split up during this process. Ex-Visa Officers share their insights and knowledge on dependent visas.
