The person who is coming to the United States. The government may also want to interview the US citizen/employer depending on the circumstance.

Interviews in the U.S. are with both the Petitioner and the Beneficiary. Most consular interviews include only the Beneficiary.

If it is a husband/wife case - I suggest BOTH attend the interview. If not, the interview is for the beneficiary (the one getting the visa.)

If the person is coming to the US from a foreign country, then the only person present at the US embassy or consulate is usually the person coming. However, sometimes the consular officer request the presence of the petitioner, and the petitioner, particularly with a marriage case. can be present if he or she chooses.

If you apply from within the U.S. for adjustment of status, both petitioner and applicant must appear for the interview. If you apply at a U.S. Consulate outside the U.S., only the applicant for the immigrant visa will be interviewed.

The applicant for an immigrant visa IS the person coming. Don't confuse this with the US petitioner.
