Immigration courts arrange for an interpreter both during master calendar hearings (i.e., scheduling hearings) and individual hearings (i.e., merit hearings). EOIR encourages the parties to an immigration proceeding to request interpreters either orally at a master calendar hearing or by written motion.
Beyond being merely fluent, they should have a deep understanding of dialects, idiomatic expressions, and cultural nuances relevant to your context. A word in one language can have a spectrum of meanings when translated, and a skilled interpreter navigates this intricacy with ease.
To ask for an interpreter for your hearing, fill out the MC-300e&s Interpreter Request and give the completed form to any window clerk or courtroom clerk. Alternatively, you can email the completed form to Interpreter Services at intrps@contracostaurts.ca.
