AOS Interview

[finenn]

So,

 

Received a letter from BCIS for an AOS interview.

 

On the front, it says:

 

"Please bring AN INTERPRETER (if needed),"

 

Called BCIS, and asked what kind of questions would be asked to require this. They said maybe they will separate us (seeing as I must attend as the petitioner), and also I cannot speak for her if she cannot understand something.

 

Ok, so I'll have to find someone to take time off to do this.

 

Has this happened to anyone?

 

Thanks

We received the same letter indicating bring an interpreter if needed.

 

 

Yuqing has some Englsih skills so we chose not to bring an interpreter.

 

I was present during the entire AOS interview. She was asked some questions like....Have you ever been a member of the communist party? Ever done anything against the US government...etc.

 

The INS representative allowed me to ask the question question in a level of English that she could understand. She answered the questions No or yes,... mostly no.

 

 

Other INS offices in other parts of the US may have different procedures, but this is how things went for us during the AOS interview in Oregon. Relative simple and pleasant. The process took about 15-20 minutes total.

Long_strider,

 

Thanks for both replies.

 

I sort of figured as much, but as usual, any paperwork received throughout this process is rather vague and unclear.
