Interview question

[Bob & Joana 2]

Hi, just got the interview date for my wife. Been going over everything she will need for that, and she said she is very nervous about her english. If I had to grade her on her english she'd get probably a B or B-, usually I understand everything but grammar is sometimes horrible. We are just wanting to know: Does the interviewer also understand Tagalog? Should she not understand a question or know how to properly respond in english is it possible to have a translator? I'm trying to put her at ease so she wont be as nervous for the interview.

ALL of the COs speak Tagalog along with English so no worries.

The CO interviewing my wife (and I) asked her a question that she hesitated with her answer and he immediately asked it again in Tagalog without skipping a beat.

I've heard that they understand both English & Tagalog. I'm sure other people who have had the same situation as yours will reply. I'm sure she will be fine. Best wishes to you guys

Agreed. My wife spoke good English and did her interview in English. But she says that the CO could speak Tagalog.

Great to hear, that should help a lot. While im sure the CO are all USC...but are they filipino or any random USC race? I'm sure she'll be less nervous if they are filipino but she'll have to do with whoever she gets. Just trying to reassure her of everything as I unfortunately cant fly there to be present.

Our CO was a white woman...the one next to us was a white man. They couldn't speak tagalog but offered a translator if we needed.

The pre-screeners from what I saw were all Filipino, all the COs have to be USC ... and its pot luck after that.
