Do I need to learn English for the interview?

The EB-4 visa is intended for various special groups, and the interview is part of the visa application process. It is common for immigration officers to conduct interviews in English, but this does not mean you need to have full fluency in the language.

If English is not your strong point, do not worry: it is possible to request an interpreter during the interview, which can help avoid misunderstandings and ensure that all information is conveyed correctly. This option is available to facilitate communication and does not negatively impact the process, as long as all information is accurate and the procedure is followed according to United States immigration laws.

Still, having a basic knowledge of English can bring more confidence during the interview, including in case questions arise that do not depend on immediate translation. Therefore, if you already have an elementary level or are in the process of learning, continuing to invest in the language can help you understand documents and instructions during the interview.

Always remember the importance of following United States immigration laws and, if necessary, seeking information from reliable sources or specialized guidance. Be careful with offers that promise miraculous results or shortcuts outside official procedures, as these campaigns may end up compromising your process.
