We will be interviewing in Montreal for my wife's CR-1 this month. She has been stressing out about her English. She is worried that her speed in answering questions, incorrect grammars, accents, etc. will make her answers seem less convincing. The fear of not understanding what's asked of her is nerve-wrecking as well. I tried to calm her down but I am hoping any advice or tips you may provide based on your experience on this can ease her nerve a bit. Any advice or tips? Should we get an interpreter on our side just in case? (I have inquired and Montreal allows us to bring interpreter) Thank you. |

I would be surprised if an interpreter is not available at the Embassy and also if the CO does not speak French. Call them and find out otherwise bring your own. You'll be OK. |

I should have mentioned, my wife's first language is Mandarin and that's what we use to communicate as well.

Montreal does allow interpreters and if your wife is really stressed about it, I'd call Montreal and let them know you are bringing your own.
Good luck. -------------------- USCIS

Whoops, I wrongfully assumed that she was French Canadian simply because of Quebec. My bad. |
