Mother cannot speak English & Father can speak English

[sampathgowri]

My Parents will be attending the interview this month. My Father can speak English , whereas my Mother cannot speak or understand English. Has my Mother to attend the interview separately with an interpreter or can she go with my Father itself.

Hi Immihelp,

I too have exactly the same situation as sampathgowri .
Please provide some answers.

1.Should my mother ask for an interpreter or not?
2.If Mother does not ask for interpreter,Will the interviwer ask questions to both Father and Mother or just my Father?
3.If Mother does not ask for the interpreter, will my father be allowed to translate both the questions and answers for her?

Thanks

No need to ask for interpretor. If consular asks questions to your mother, your father can translate for her.
