Immigration Forum / USA Marriage Base / September 2006interpreter
Does the interpreter have to be physically present at the AOS interview or can it be done with a conference call or speakerphone? My wife isn't fluent in English. The interview is scheduled in Omaha. > Does the interpreter have to be physically present at the AOS > interview or > can it be done with a conference call or speakerphone? My wife isn't > fluent in English. The interview is scheduled in Omaha. I would imagine the interpreter should be physically present. The officer might not have the capability to make conference calls or have a speaker phone. We had an interpreter at our interview in Phoenix. She came with us to the interview. I thought USCIS would have wanted a 3rd party interpreting, but our officer said I could have done the interpreting myself. Not sure if that was just our case, or the norm. Best Wishes, Rene I was an interpreter to an AOS interview and I had to be physically present. > > Does the interpreter have to be physically present at the AOS > > interview or [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > Best Wishes, > Rene >> Does the interpreter have to be physically present at the AOS interview >> or [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > Best Wishes, > Rene Thanks. I would have expected that it would be better to have a third party present. Upon re-reading the 797 it states "....you should bring an interpreter." Sounds optional but I'm going to hire one since I'm not exactly fluent in Spanish. So far, I've only found services that interpret via telephone only (that's why I asked the question). > Does the interpreter have to be physically present at the AOS > interview or > can it be done with a conference call or speakerphone?

You might also review what is covered in an interview; I wouldn't say one needs to be "fluent" in English to successfully navigate the AOS interview. |
