I was wondering If I need to get an Attorney in Guangzhou, China. When our NOV2 get approved in US. My fiance understands English very well, but she dose not speak good and I'm worried that she can't pass the interview.
I want to know, If I need to get an Attorney that may It would be helpful for her and If she dose not pass the interviw, for any reason at least we are ready to act right a way.

Hiring an attorney in Guangzhou will not help the matter as he or she cannot enter into the interview anyhow , but a translator can.
They should give you the choice to have one present from the consulate.
My fiance does not speak any english , but I have hired one of the coworkers from the import company I work with to come to our home in foshan every other evening to teach the english and I help when ever I am in China.
Just showing that english is a priority will go along way at the interview as she lans to bring her english books and work to the interview to show her progress.
Most of the interview agents in Guangzhou are bilingual so it should not be a problem, . As for me trying to do work in China not knowing the language would be a mistake for me , therefore any USA agent living in Guangzhou should be bilingual to be able to function a normal live.
I am not for sure where your fiancee lives , but it should be easy to find private tutor for her. THe woman I hired was english teacher for elementary school before changing jobs to the import company so it has worked out well. Cost has been 150 rmb for two hour session .
hopes this helps!

The speaking ability becomes a major issue if the petitioner does not speak or only speaks a little Chinese and the beneficiary does not speak or only speaks a little English. This will be seen as fraud attempt. However, if you both were Chinese and able to communicate fluent in Chinese then the speaking ability may not become an issue at all. For example, showing letters and instant messenger logs that were completely in Chinese is a "hint" that you two were communicating in Chinese. Just my two cents.

I don't believe that knowing English is an issue, unless there is a "red flag" that the VO sees. If there is a "Red Flag", then not knowing english could be a problem.
My Fiance was asked if she spoke English. she said very little and the interview was done in Chinese.
The VO didn't ask for any type of evidence concerning how we communicated with each other.
