Topic:
Translator for Citizenship Interview

My grandparents just received notice to attend an interview with a citizenship officer to verify their identity and original documents. They are over the age of 54 and hence do not need to take the citizenship test. Their grasp of the English language is close to nil. Would the interviewer allow me to accompany my grandparents to act as their translator during the interview?

Thanks in advance,

Ginger

Hi All,

Thanks for your replies. I just went with them to the interview today. They didn't even ask for an ID from me. They had a room full of people that were of the age 55 and above and a lot of them were accompanied by a family member that acted as a translator. Very easy questions, very quick (~5 minute) interview (more like a friendly chat). The guy said they should receive a letter for them to take the oath within 2-3 months.

Thanks again for your help!

Ginger
