If someone goes to U.S.A Embassy ...?

Question

If someone goes to U.S.A Embassy in Dubai fo interview and dosen't know English can she bring her mam/dad as a translator?

Answer 1

An embassy usually has a translator on their staff. A simple request before the interview will suffice. In the absence of that, I am sure they will allow the interviewee to bring their own translator. Why dont you ask the embassy itself?

**The U.S. Consulate also recommends correspondence by e-mail at [e-mail]. Please allow up to 3 business days for a written response.

They also accept visa-related enquiries by telephone [phone]) on Sundays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays between 15:00 and 16:00, and on Mondays between 10:00 and 16:00. When inquiring about a visa case, please provide the applicant’s complete passport or case number to facilitate retrieval of the case.**

Answer 2

The Consulate Officers are able to converse in the language of the country where they are stationed, so an interpretor is not necessary or allowed.

Answer 3

What Mark said is often true -- in other cases, locally employed staff can help translate.  But unless the applicant is a minor, the answer to your question is "No," you can't bring other people to the interview with you.
