[Triphelp]

HI all,

I am in dobut whether the kids under the age of 13 must go with the parents to the Consular/Embassy. This sites guidelines says yes, the official site says no:

"Children under the age of 14 are required to appear in person..."

http://www.ustraveldocs.com/de/de-gen-faq.asp#qlistgen6

There are only a few exceptions to the interview requirement. The following applicants generally do not have to appear in person:

• Applicants for A-1, A-2 (official travelers on central government business), C-2, C-3 (central government officials in transit on central government business) or G-1, G-2, G-3, G-4 (central government officials traveling in connection with an international organization, or employees of an international organization)
• Children aged 13 and under
• Adults aged 80 or over
• Applicants eligible to participate in the Visa Reissuance program

WHAT IS CORRECT?

Kids below 14 years need not to appear for interview, just drop their passports for stamping along with copy of your visa/petition etc.
