Just would like to ask anyone here had K1 interview at US Embassy, Kuala Lumpur?

My fiancee is going to have her K1 interview soon. However, she is a non-english speaker.

Is it possible she can request a Chinese translator when she goes for her interview?

I think it will be better for you to email the US Embassy directly to ask if they provide Chinese Translator during interview.

I have checked on the US Embassy, Malaysia's website. It seems like they will provide translator service for interviewer. Hopefully, this info is correct.

"Due to our waiting room size and the time required to screen visitors, other accompanying persons cannot be admitted to the waiting room. Drivers, friends, extra relatives must wait outside or return to meet the applicant after the interview has been completed. We do NOT advise bringing small children to visa interviews.

Special Needs

  • Elderly and disabled applicants may bring ONE person to assist; please call the Embassy in advance so we may advise the front gate.
  • Children age 14-18: Parents may accompany their children.
  • Translators: There is no need for you to bring a translator as our staff speaks a variety of Chinese and Indian dialects as well as Bahasa."
