AOS for my mother

[bulavka9 0]

We have our interview scheduled in December and we are a bit worried as we have no idea hat questions they will ask. Do you guys have any experience to share? 

Also, my mom doesn`t speak good ENGLISH so I was hoping to come with her. Is this allowed?

What does the interview letter say about who is supposed to attend?

 

You have posted this in “adjustment from status from K1 and K3” so generally her U.S. citizen spouse will be attending. Her spouse should have this all handled.

I didn`t find the correct thread. This is AOS for my mother as I am a citizen.

No, it only specifies about marriage aos.

Generally a petitioner in a family based case should be available for the interview. Since you apparently speak your mother's language, see https://www.uscis.gov/g-1256 for the process for you to attend as her interpreter. There is no guarantee the ISO will accept you as an interpreter. Come to the interview with the form filled out per the instructions, but pay attention to this instruction:

 

"IMPORTANT: Do not sign the form before the interview. You and the interpreter must sign the form in the presence of the interviewing officer."

Definitely be there as her sponsor. My husband was sponsored by his US Citizen Mother (AOS). None of the paperwork stated that she must be present for the interview. She waited in a coffee shop across the street. 

First thing IO asked was: "Where is your sponsor?" MIL was then promptly called to USCIS office for the interview. Good she was there waiting.
