Newest Relationship Evidence Questions

[Mkandi 0]

Hello,

I have a quick question regarding the language barriers at US consulates in foreign countries.

I just received my approved NOA2, so I sent out the copy of the I-129F to my Japanese fiance.

I know we have to submit newer relationship evidence, but since he will be interviewed at the Tokyo US consulate,

I didn't know if I have to send translation certificates of all our Japanese e-mails.

Since the consulate staff would have to know (at least some) Japanese and English, I'm not sure.

...And does anyone know what language they will be interviewed in? I'm hoping Japanese..

I'm sorry about my dumb questions! Thank you very much in advance!!!

These are Embassy specific questions. It will be best if someone that has gone through Tokyo can also provide answers.

Normally, the Consulates will accept documentation in English AND the native language of the country they are in. Maybe not because the Consular Officer can speak some of the language but because they have many native workers from that country that can act as interpreters. I know this applies to Tokyo based on another posting.

Normally they try to interview in the language used by the USC and Fiance(e) for communicating to each other. But if the English of the Beneficiary is not up to par, they will get a translator and interview in Japanese. If you communicate only in Japanese with Fiance(e), they should interview in Japanese.

If he doesn't understand English, the consular officer will conduct the interview in Japanese.
