I-944 English language proficiency

[cooleynata 3]

Hi 

 

While I was not born in an English speaking country (born in Northern Europe), I consider English as my native language and am fully fluent. To provide some context, I studied in an UK boarding school since I was 16 years old and then went on to complete university in the UK. I also completed a Master of Laws in the USA (course was in English) and have for the past 6 years worked for English speaking employers - both in USA and UK. I am also qualified as a lawyer in USA and UK. Overall for the past 10 years + I have lived, studied and worked in English speaking countries. 

 

Given the above, what evidence (apart from UK and USA school and university diplomas, lawyer certifications) do I need to show to USCIS when they asks to prove "Item Number 5. English and Other Language Skills" on Form I-944. I think from all of the diplomas and lawyer qualification certificates it should be clear that I can speak and write in English as a native. 

 

Thanks in advance for any thoughts

i think for that you just answer in English. it just looks like they want to know if you need an interpreter or not.

If you filled out the form yourself, i would think that is sufficient.
