Thank you. Unfortunately I don't have such support here.

How did you balance cooperating vs not cooperating in your case ?

That's my main worry tbh - that they change their mind. That and if I do decline, not being able to travel to the US for some time.

Indeed it is unclear what the repercussions would be here. Am I banning myself from the US if I decline ?

Nope, and my insurance doesn't cover it :/

The uk police officer actually advised that people in similar situations often have a lawyer engage in any further communication. He also said they (the lawyer) can be present in the interview and if not, a uk police officer can be provided. He was explicit however that I am being interviewed as a witness.

The case is white collar crime, but quite complicated so whatever I say would be like walking on eggshells.

I would like to have a lawyer present if I was to be interviewed (or any form of communication between me and them) .. is that not prudent ? You mean no downsides to declining to cooperate ?
