Is the interview at the consulate given in English or in the native language? I want to help my husband prepare if it's in English.

01/26/2008: Married.

02/06/2008: U.S. Embassy in Santiago informs me that they are not much for dumb rules and I CAN direct file!

03/06/2008: Applied for Chilean resident visa, which will allow me to direct file.

04/17/2008: Chilean visa approved.

06/04/2008: Applied for husband's visa at U.S. Embassy.

06/13/2008: Final interview date set for July!

07/01/2008: Medical exam.

07/09/2008: Final interview and approval of visa!

I'm sorry I am not able to say for sure, but regardless, it would be great for him to demonstrate his English speaking skills even if the interview is mostly done in his native language. :)

usually done in the local language and they will do it in English also. For example in Colombia they do it in Spanish and English - its your choice which language you prefer. Proficiency of English is not required - neither at this stage nor at AOS (you can take a translator while doing AOS) - only place English proficiency is required is when you apply for citizenship - which is at least three years or more away at this point. In Chile they would offer you Spanish or English. Good Luck

Thank you everyone, that's a bit of a relief since my husband doesn't know enough English right now to get through an interview. But you are right Margot, he should try to demonstrate what he does know. I'll get started teaching :)
