YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

If you’re not truly comfortable speaking English, you should use an interpreter at your asylum interview. ⚠️🗣️ I’ve seen strong cases ruined because of interpretation and language issues. It is critical that you fully understand the asylum officer and that the officer fully understands you. Even small language or communication mistakes can look like inconsistencies and cast doubt on your credibility. ❌⚖️ Those problems can seriously hurt your case, even when you are telling the truth. The officer does not know the mistake was caused by language. 🧠 Unless you are super comfortable in English, you should speak your native language and use an interpreter. That is often the safest way to protect your case. 🛡️ Using an interpreter is not looked down upon. It does not negatively impact your case or cause problems. ✅ For more information, send me the word “consult” in a direct message. ✉️
