Interpreter at the interview
Background
The husband is a U.S. citizen whose naturalization our firm also handled. After naturalizing, he filed a family-based petition for his partner. The couple is older, has no income, and does not speak English.
Challenges
They needed a financial sponsor, and the language barrier could affect how they performed at the interview.
Strategy
The wife's daughter and son-in-law provided income sponsorship, and we arranged a professional interpreter for the interview. Before the interview, we also advised the clients on how to reasonably explain any inconsistencies in timeline details.
Outcome
Interviewed on 07/03 and received the formal approval notice the next day (Independence Day).
