Interview and travelling on the vwp while visa is being processed.
Hey because it's looking like I will visit the USA in July and have to come back to England within 90 days so that I can attend my medical interview etc, is it my interview or does my husband have to be with me? Just trying to get a ball point figure on prices and to plan if it's just me flying back or both.
When I arrive in the States do I just explain that we have a visa in process? Thanks Kelly |

Your USC husband does not have to attend your visa interview.
No need to explain anything at the POE unless you are specifically asked. Rene |

Will you be flying into CLT? |
Re: Interview and travelling on the vwp while visa is being processed.
As Pulaski says, they will have most of the answers they need in front of them.
I visited while my K1 was at the NVC stage and I was waiting on correspondence from the London Embassy. It was absolutely fine. He asked why I was visiting, I said to visit my fiancé to do wedding planning. He then asked if we had a visa in progress and if so what stage was it at. I explained we were going through a K1 and that it was at the NVC for processing and he stamped my passport and off I went. |

I will also be visiting on VWP for about a week while my IR-1 is in progress. I have my medical and interview soon after I return.
I will be flying into CLT -- is that significant, Pulaski? Thanks CF |

I travelled on the VWP while my visa was processing, the CBP obviously has the information available in front of him as he commented that he saw I had a visa in progress.
I flew into DC and LAX with no issues, passport stamped, have a nice day. |

Fab news TY! Yes I will be flying into Charlotte but we have a lay over in Miami first which will be the POE for me
I think once I get the email to give us the interview date I will fly from Jacksonville to London and the same flying back I looked on sky scanner the costs were pretty similar. Kelly |

Charlotte is a simple and small enough airport.
I've cleared immigration anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour. Only really met resistance and asked a couple more questions once (out of about 10 entries). |

Given a choice when doing something entirely legal but often considered "iffy", such as coming to the US to get married on a VWP visit, I would still recommended flying into JFK, IAD, or another major airport where IME you can be more-or-less waved through, rather that running the risk of being grilled at CLT. |

I agree with this, I was never asked so much as a follow up quetion on my multiple arrivals at ATL.
