Hello Dear All,

I want to know the answer of this question regarding interview in Embassy(Pakistan Islamabad).

If i feel comfortable to give interview in Urdu instead of English.Is this language selection will effect my visa approval?

As I have read the Islamabad Embassy reviews, you may be offered the opportunity to give interview in Urdu instead of English and there may be a translator present at the time of interview. It should not be a problem. However, may I ask if your spouse who is supposedly a USC (United States Citizen) from Pakistan and speaks Urdu? Because if not, they might ask you at time of interview that how do you communicate with your spouse and if you are not so comfortable with speaking English, won't it be a problem for you in future?
