Hello Everyone, I had applied for the renewal of B1/B2 US visa for my Parents. My mother got interview waiver and received her passport with a new visa stamp in 20 days but the officer had asked my father to come in-person for the interview. His interview is scheduled this week. He does not speak/understand english. Can someone please let me know if i can go along with him as a translator? I had called up customer support with the same question and they mentioned yes, you can go along with him as a translator. But the instructions says "In general, only Visa applicants with scheduled appointments are allowed to enter the Consular Section." this makes me nervous. If some one had this kind of experience, please share your thoughts.
Thanks
