I was asked if we needed interpreter at interview in Buffalo by the visa officer, that's why I think there will not be a problem for you to bring your own.

Hi Suin,

When will be your interview at Buffalo? Which language for the interpreter?
I can speak Eng well but i just worry that the visa officer may misunderstand me sometimes. I just need the interpreter just in case I get confused, i will try to communicate with the visa officer directly.
Will you go there alone or with your sponsor? They dont require my husband, but he will go there with me anyways. I dont know if they let him go to the room with me or not?

the interview I had was not for sponsorship. our application was approved almost a month ago already.
it's a good idea to have your spouse with you at the interview. it depends totally on the immigration officer if s/he decides to let your husband in.
if you are not totally sure about whether you can explain to them all you wish to say, maybe it would be advisable for you to get interpreter, just in case - s/he will help you in case you are straggling.
have a good luck!
