Translation is required for letters and for having online chat. Even if the first meeting goes well, what will the chances be of getting a K1 Visa if she can't speak English? Thank you in advance.... Lockland Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/9/2010 2:34:28 PM   none - just hope & pray!!! She wants you bad so one you can learn the language otherwise its only letters & immigration problems. franklcsw Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/9/2010 4:01:11 PM   Doesn't matter as long as all her required documents are translated in English. They will interview her in her home country's language. The real question is will she evolve successfully enough living in a English speaking country. ragingbull Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/9/2010 4:10:26 PM   I don't believe it matters either. The US is not in the business of denying marriages to anyone unless it is for the sole purpose of getting a visa. That, they will scrutinize you for.

I have friends from all over the world. Further, I have found that communicating over the phone is very hard with limited common language, but face to face understanding with only a little help from translation softway and a dictionary is as though there is no problem in the difference in language. Facial expression and gestures are remarkable aids. Most metropolitan areas have community clleges and adult schools that can teach English as a second language.

Next door to me is an elementary school where they offer English as a Second Language (ESL) course for free as a night school. I wonder how my FSU wife would do when her classmates are Hispanic and she's the only one who speaks Russian. RodanTsunami Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/9/2010 5:54:43 PM   Just "bitch" about it like they do. Many don't even want English as any language. Look at a Chinese imagrant, his children will be doctors or engineers, guess who's kids are going to be the gardeners and fry cooks. The school is only an aid, the learning is your own to do. RodanTsunami Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/9/2010 5:59:05 PM   My friend came from Somoa when we were in the 6th grade. A week before, he never had a pair of shoes in his life and lived in a grass roofed hut. He was speaking English before the summer break and he came in January. baron555 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/9/2010 6:54:48 PM   They will interview her in her home country's language. This statement is not categorically true. Harvey Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/10/2010 7:34:00 AM   I was told just a few days ago that she will have a Russian speaking person at her interview. But English speaking is also scrutinized. Or at least the knowledge that she is learning and wanting to learn. Perhaps if she was spanish speaking she would move to the head of the line and passed through with no questions... We just spent ten days together and decided we would not 'write things on paper' to communicate as we did in the past. There were a few difficult moments - but patience and rephrasing some of the dialogue smoothed over any simple misunderstandings. Just be ready to prove that she is attempting to learn! FSULover Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/10/2010 7:45:35 AM   Regarding the OP question, there will be no problem whatsoever. My now wife did not speak English. However, she was asked a valid question: how do you communicate? She will need to answer that question to the satisfaction of the Consular Officer. In my case it was easy to prove that I speak Russian, but be prepared to be judged based on the answer to that question. It will be one of the keys to success. Fortunately my wife wants to work and earn her own money soon, so she is studying English five hours a day. She still has some Russian bad habits (like "say me", "wait me", "we with my husband did ...", etc), but she can understand me mostly in English after only a couple of months. Therefore, if a woman has the motivation, she will learn English in no time... otherwise, you learn Russian ... but you need to be able to communicate with each other clearly. I advise against marriage if communication is a problem. Harvey Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/10/2010 7:56:32 AM   I agree with FSULover. I was married to an English speaking person (born and raised in Pittsburg) and we were together 8 years. But it seemed communication was terrible. franklcsw Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/10/2010 9:44:56 AM   According to my Russian wife, the US Embassy spoke to her and the other girls on the visa interview day all in Russian, and it was Russian nationals who were employed by US embassy who did the interviewing. durak Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/12/2010 7:48:52 PM   Ralph29 wrote "Perhaps if she was spanish speaking she would move to the head of the line and passed through with no questions..." As far as I know, it isn't necessary to speak any particular language (English or otherwise) to immigrate. In my understanding, the reason why US officials consider language, is to look for signs of a sham marriage conducted for immigration purposes only. If you are a fluent Spanish speaker and want to marry a Spanish-speaking alien, they will understand that you can communicate. If you could demonstrate that you speak Russian, whether or not your prospective spouse was studying English, would not be important. Knowledge of English is needed to become a citizen, but not to become a resident. But when they see a 'couple' who have no apparent capacity to converse with one another, this is one of several warning signs of a possible marriage-for-cash scheme. baron555 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/12/2010 10:53:25 PM   Don't know when Frank's wife had her interview but this past year and this past couple of months, the COs at the Moscow Embassy asked the ladies "In what language do you communicate?" If they answered, "In English" then the remainder of the interview was conducted in English and they now have pure bred Americans as the COs. Be forewarned. ragingbull Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/13/2010 1:18:05 AM   So what happens when the intended marriage is real and CIS doesn't believe you? baron555 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/13/2010 8:57:13 AM   You have to convince them that your marriage is ongoing and real. You have to generate evidence (sometimes doing extraordinary things) that when all put together, tells the story of the happy couple who wish to be together forever. If you can not convince them of this, if they have a hint that visa fraud is being perpetrated, then your petition can be denied. IN the end, the decision will be a subjective call by the consular officer. ragingbull Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/13/2010 12:08:59 PM   As in other government agencies I would think that if one gets denied, they are given a piece of paper explaining the procedures for an appeal. baron555 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/13/2010 12:25:50 PM   No, you are given a piece of paper that says why you were denied. How to appeal is up to you to figure out, at least for a visa interview at a US consulate.
