If you have a marriage-based green card application and USCIS requests an interview, you must be prepared to communicate effectively during your appointment.

When You Need an Interpreter

If you do not speak English fluently, you are required to bring an interpreter. The interpreter must be:

• Fluent in both English and your native language

• Properly authorized to live and work in the United States

• Not the petitioner (your spouse) or a witness in your case

Having a qualified interpreter ensures that your interview proceeds smoothly and that all questions are understood clearly.

Important Note

Some USCIS offices do not allow individuals with pending asylum applications to serve as interpreters. Always confirm the specific requirements of your local USCIS office before the interview date.

Summary:
For marriage-based green card interviews, bring a qualified interpreter if you are not fluent in English. Make sure they are authorized and meet USCIS requirements.
