hey! So my hubby speaks a little English but is definitely more comfortable speaking Creole. I speak Creole and we communicate in that 99% of the time. Is this an issue for the interview? Does he have to speak English at the interview or will they be ok with him speaking Creole? Trying to prepare and a little nervous about that aspect:)

That should not be an issue. They'll ask your husband what language he feels best interviewing in. My fiance said "Creole" and the dude switched to English halfway through, which was fine, because my fiance was fluent in English too. They may ask him what language you all communicate in, so... if you are at the interview and get pulled into another room, be sure to tell the truth- Creole 99% of the time. That should be fine.

We just had our interview and he asked my fiance and I what language we communicate in. We told him English (as my creole is spotty at best) He asked my fiance if he preferred to have the interview in English or French. They proceeded in a mix of English and French from what I could tell after I sat down. ;-)

Awaiting Oath Ceremony for Citizenship! Last step!
