Our Services

Interpretation Support forUSCIS-Related Matters

We focus exclusively on interpretation coordination for USCIS-related immigration interviews and appointments. Every request is reviewed individually before it is confirmed.

Please read before requesting an interpreter.

USCIS interpreter policies and appointment requirements can differ by form, proceeding, and individual circumstances. An interpreter is not always allowed, not always required, and never guaranteed to be accepted. Please verify the requirements that apply to your appointment with USCIS or your immigration attorney. Interpretation support does not satisfy any separate English-language, civics, or other immigration eligibility requirement.

Naturalization Interview Interpretation
01

Naturalization Interview Interpretation

Naturalization (N-400) interviews are conducted in English in most cases, and USCIS permits an interpreter only in limited circumstances — for example, certain age-and-residency exemptions or disability-related waivers. Where an interpreter is permitted for your situation, we can review a request to coordinate interpretation support.

What to include in your request

  • Your preferred language and dialect
  • Scheduled interview date, time, and field office
  • Confirmation from USCIS or your attorney that an interpreter is permitted for your case

Asylum Interview Interpretation

For affirmative asylum interviews, USCIS has generally required applicants who are not fluent in English to bring their own interpreter, and interpreters must meet specific eligibility rules. These policies can change and exceptions may apply, so please verify the current requirements on your interview notice, the USCIS website, or with your immigration attorney. Where bringing your own interpreter is required or permitted, we can review a request to coordinate one for your interview.

What to include in your request

  • Your preferred language and dialect
  • Interview date, time, and asylum office location
  • A copy of what your interview notice says about interpreters (describe it — do not upload documents)

Adjustment of Status Interview Interpretation
03

Adjustment of Status Interview Interpretation

Applicants attending adjustment of status interviews who are not fluent in English may, depending on the circumstances, be permitted to bring an interpreter. We coordinate interpretation requests around your scheduled interview so communication with the interviewing officer is as clear as possible.

What to include in your request

  • Your preferred language
  • Interview date, time, and USCIS field office location
  • Whether the interview is in person and any scheduling constraints

Family-Based Immigration Interview Interpretation

Family-Based Immigration Interview Interpretation

Family-based interviews often involve detailed personal questions, and clear communication is essential. Where USCIS policy allows an interpreter for your interview type, we can review a request to support you or your family member.

What to include in your request

  • Preferred language for each person needing support
  • Appointment details and field office
  • Whether the request is for an individual or multiple family members

Other USCIS Interviews and Appointments

Other USCIS-related appointments — where appropriate and where an interpreter may be permitted — can also be submitted for review. Because policies differ by form and proceeding, we assess each request individually and tell you honestly whether we can help.

What to include in your request

  • The type of appointment and any notice you received (describe it — do not upload documents)
  • Your preferred language
  • Date, time, and location, if scheduled
