My husband is from Morocco but we mostly communicate in French. I am learning Darija and he has been practicing English as well. His English is not good enough to complete the interview fully in English. Is it bad if he asks to do the interview in Arabic? I'm nervous that the officer will think our marriage is fraudulent just based on his English level. But, as mentioned before, we communicate in another language.  Thanks for any advice!

Applicants normally have the option of English or country language.  The CO will, likely, be interested in how you communicate.

CO likes the Moroccan to know decent English

but it should not hurt as he is studying it with u 

it could help to show he takes English classes even if online

 

he can do the interview in Arabic,  English or French

Biggest concern is how the two of you communicate.  If it's in French, no problem.
