The immigration process through the EB-5 visa involves several steps, with the consular interview being one of them, fundamental for document verification and confirmation of the application data.

Although English is the official language in United States immigration processes, at many consulates and embassies it is possible to conduct the interview in the local language or with an interpreter if the applicant does not feel comfortable with English.

The rules vary according to the consular jurisdiction, so it is advisable to consult the specific instructions of the responsible consulate or embassy.

Moreover, it is crucial to follow the current immigration laws, seek information from official sources, and consult reliable experts to avoid scams. Checking the updated consular regulations ensures compliance with legal requirements and success in the immigration process.
