Child to Interview

I may have asked this question before, but I would like to re-post it again so I could probably hear experiences of some people. Please bear with me.

The interview letter states that one is not required to bring children to the interview unless they ask for them. Now I have a 3 year old daughter and I don't know if it will be better to take her along with us or leave her at home. My concern is getting an IO officer who might not like the idea and may be get pissed about it...

Could you all please share your thought and/or experiences?
Thanks.

Sometimes is a good thing (specially since it is CLEAR PROOF) of the marriage. However, if you think she is likely to pitch a fit, throw a fuss, play with the interviewer's approval stamp! , etc...

Then leave her and bring her birth certificate.

As I said before, I took my 2 months daughter with me, and you will be surprise how much that will help.
Don't forget . The IO told me "No child left behind, like others".

I think, take her,,,and if they asked you... tell them I couldn't find anybody to baby sit her.

They will not complain about her.

I think its a good thing generally speaking to bring your child. I mean it beats just the birth certificate (which you must bring anyways).

The problem is that your IO may have been baby friendly. Not everybody likes babies/children (unfortunately). So I think there is not a definite answer, except if your child will not make a FUSS, bring him/her. If FUSS will be made, "leave him behind". We do not want to irritate the interviewer.

We brought our two sons, I personally think the IOs prefer to see kids. My friend and her hubby brought their son too when she petitioned her husband.

The guy that interview us said he doen't care if people bring kids in or have kids. He said that doesn't prove anything. It sounds interesting, but that was his opinion...

That was my initial point. All these matters really depend on who you "stumble" upon. Some people like kids, some others do not. Some IO's will just look at your pictures together to approve you, some will look at minute details.

I do not think there are any rules. Even if we had the same IO's then other factors such as mood of the day would still enter play.
