My Husband's English is improving, but so far, only I can understand when he speaks English.

Will his interview be in English, or will the Embassy provide a translater? His first language is Punjabi, and he understand Hindi really well (Punjabi and Hindi are quite similar).

Consular officers either speak the local languages well enough to conduct the interview themselves or will have translation assistance available. Interview will be in the local language.

Facts are cheap...knowing how to use them is precious...
Understanding the big picture is priceless. Anonymous
