Additionally, some individuals are restricted from serving as an interpreter. These include minors under age 18, witnesses, and attorneys and representatives for the interviewee.

So, can I still bring a lawyer and an interpreter during the interview?

Did you check if the embassy that will be interviewing, allows a lawyer to be present at the interview?

Not all embassies allow a lawyer to be present during the interview.
