[toldsom 0]

Hi all,

I was list as a translator for my mom N400 "US Citizenship Interview". and I have to traveling outside of the country for infinite time. I am not sure if I come back on time for her interview to translate for her. My question is. Will the immigration allow her to change the translator for her interview? I hope they do. What should I do?

Many thanks.

what do you mean interpreter? does she need sign language as a special need or something like that?

because she is supposed to know English and not need an interpreter. That's what the exam is for. she has to show that she can understand English, read and write in English.

If you are above a certain age (50 or 55) and have been a permanent resident for at least 20 or 15 years (I think), you are allowed to take the test in your native language and have an interpreter.

I understand and I knew about taking the test in the native language, but I had never heard of having an interpreter at the interview. I always thought that the IO would be of that country and no need of an intepreter.

That's new for me.

Thanks for the info. Yes, my mom is 56 years old and she has been here about 18 years now. I thought i can be here to help her translate for her, but I just have to travel oversea for the next few months. I am not sure if i will get back in time for her interview. You think my brother can attend on my behalf?

Thanks

If your mom is 55 years or older and a resident of 15 years or more, she can take the civic test in her native language. Call me crazy, but I always thought the native language of an Australian citizen would be English as well . . .
