Why Choosing a Spanish Interpreter in San Jose Matters
In immigration interviews—whether for adjustment of status, naturalization, asylum, or a green card—the officer often speaks in English and expects the applicant to respond clearly. When English is not your client’s first language, misunderstandings can happen. These may affect the outcome of the case.
By working with a Spanish interpreter for immigration interview in San Jose, you ensure your client understands every question, and that their answers are translated faithfully—word for word. According to USCIS rules, interpreters must translate both the applicant’s and the officer’s words faithfully and cannot add or omit content.
When you hire me, Beatriz Toscano, you’re getting an experienced interpreter in San Jose and the Bay Area who understands immigration-law settings, and who is ready for everything from green card interviews to asylum hearings.
