DS 5540 - English proficiency?

[Edu&Gaby 10]

Hello! I have a question about the new public charge rule. I read that among the good characteristics you might show to have better chances on the approval is English proficiency.

I am applying for a CR1 outside the US and I wanted to know how we could prove that, would TOEFL or TOEIC tests be accepted or help in any way? And if yes, how to use this diplomas when we file for NVC?

Thanks everyone!

All US visas are applied for from outside the USA.  Sources such as "I read" are not a source.  Generally, yes, English proficiency is a  positive factor, but a minor one unless there's a reason for it to become major, like no way to effectively communicate with your spouse or unemployability once in the US, when other financial issues are borderline.  If you actually HAVE evidence of your English proficiency, provide it.  Best way to show English proficiency is to have the visa interview in English.  (and, of course, bring lots of toilet paper) LOL

haha great! Thank you so much for your answer. I have an EF proficiency test and I am about to take TOEFL too, although it might not be a major factor, I would like to make it as good as possible, so I'll send them. I am also validating my University diploma in the US to send it with all the files to prove the education level.

 

 Thanks again for your attention!
