USCIS Interpreter for Your Immigration Interview
If your USCIS interview notice says you may bring an interpreter, Speakr LLC can send a professional one. Our interpreters know the interview format, the vocabulary of immigration forms, and the rules USCIS sets for interpreters, so the officer hears exactly what you said.
We cover 100+ languages, including Indigenous and lower-diffusion languages such as Mam, Q'anjob'al and Mixtec that are hard to find on short notice.
Why a Professional Interpreter Matters at USCIS
USCIS lets many applicants bring their own interpreter, but the interpreter has to be neutral, fluent in both languages, at least 18 years old, and cannot be your attorney or a witness in your case. Before the interview starts, the interpreter signs Form G-1256, the Declaration for Interpreted USCIS Interview, and swears to interpret completely and accurately. A relative who adds, softens or skips words can create inconsistencies that follow your file for years. A professional interpreter removes that risk.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bring my own interpreter to a USCIS interview?
For most interviews, yes, if your interview notice allows it. The interpreter must be at least 18, fluent in English and your language, and neutral. Your attorney or a witness in your case cannot act as your interpreter. Always follow the instructions on your own interview notice.
Can an interpreter help with the English test for citizenship?
No. The English reading, writing and speaking test cannot be interpreted. Applicants who qualify for an age-and-residency exemption (for example 50/20 or 55/15) can take the civics test in their own language with an interpreter.
What is Form G-1256?
Form G-1256 is the Declaration for Interpreted USCIS Interview. The interpreter signs it at the interview and swears to interpret completely and accurately. Our interpreters are familiar with it.
Do you have interpreters for Mam, Q’anjob’al or Mixtec?
Yes. Indigenous languages from Mexico and Guatemala are a large part of our immigration work. Tell us your town or region of origin so we can match the right variant.
