Languages and translations

[natashaeco 0]

Hi,

We just received our NOA2 approval and now my fiance is worried about gathering all of the documents needed for his interview. He will be doing his interview in Spain and his main concern is about the language.

Will the package that he receives from the Embassy be in English or in Spanish?

And will he have to translate all of the documents to English even if he is doing the interview in Spain?

Will his interview be in English or Spanish?

Thanks for your help!

He can choose the language he wants to be interviewed in.

The document translation necessity is embassy-specific. In my case (Mongolia), my fiancee had to get translations of her birth certificate, her police certificate, and proof that she is unmarried. Spanish documents may or may not be acceptable without a translation, but the packet they send will detail that.

As far as I know, the packets are sent in both English and the local language.

The documents must be in either English or the language spoken in the country where the Embassy is located, in this case Spanish. I cite from the checklist included in Packet 3:

'Todos los documentos que no estén en inglés o en la lengua oficial del país en el que se vaya a solicitar el visado, se deben acompañar de una traducción legalizada al idioma inglés'.
