U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has announced a significant policy change: applicants attending interviews at USCIS field offices are now required to bring their own interpreters if they need language assistance. This marks a shift from previous practices and places the full responsibility of securing a qualified interpreter on the applicant.
If an interpreter is not arranged in time for the appointment, the interview will need to be rescheduled. Applicants must proactively contact USCIS to request a new date in such cases.
This policy change aligns with measures introduced during the Trump administration, which aimed to tighten immigration procedures. USCIS has urged all applicants to ensure their interpreter is present and prepared at the scheduled time to prevent any delays or disruptions in the interview process.
