Language at PoE

[sanjeevknair]

Hi,
My in-laws are traveling to USA in few days. They are not proficient in English . So they had their visa interview in hindi. But I am not sure how they are going to manage the questions asked at the Port of Entry. Is there a way to let the officer at PoE know that they are not good in English and will not be able to understand or answer the questions ?

Thanks

They will have to take help from a fellow passenger that can English and the language that they understand.

The airport will not provide interpreters. And if they don't understand English, asking questions will not be waived.

i had same problems for my parents ,who had took their visa interview in gujarati, you send one letter addressing to POE officer mentioning that your in-laws doesnt know much english, so please co operate. tell your relative to saw this letter to officer at POE. my parents did the same, they dont have any problem then.
