if you're 17 do you need a parent

[handle]

If you're 17 and you are going on an interview, do you need a parent to be with you? I know they can be, but do they have to be?

thanks

Can I accompany a visa applicant to his/her interview?

The applicant is the only person allowed into the U.S. Consular Section for a visa interview. Relatives, friends, co-workers, employers, lawyers, etc. will not be allowed into the building. Parents or legal guardians are advised to accompany any minor child (age 17 and under) to the appointment.

Contact the US Embassy on which you will attend the interview - as an example, http://chennai.usconsulate.gov/tempo...ontact-us.html
