grandparents interview for US visa/citizenship?!?

Question

Hello,
Both my grandparents have applied to get their US visas. They both already had their fingerprints and are waiting for their interview date. They have been studying everyday so they can pass their interview test. I want to help them pass this interview because they really need all the help they need right now. I am concerned on what kinds of questions they will ask. I know they will ask some of the US history questions given to them, but is there any other more personal questions going to be asked?!


I am also worried because both my grandparents have a hard time of hearing, so how would this work out?!

Also, do my granparents need to be proficient in English. Will the interviewers or whoever will go hard on them, or will they take it easy for them because they are of old age?


Please give and tips and advice, I really want to help my grandparents to prepare for this interview.!

Answer 1

They do cut people some slack for their ages, especially if they didn't immigrate until their 50's or older.

Any questions on their applications are fair game, so they should be prepared.

It is unlikely they will be asked anything other than the information already on their paperwork.

EDIT: Are your grandparents applying to naturalize (and become citizens), seeking visas to immigrate, or visas to visit you? Your question is not clear here. Citizenship and Visa are two completely different concepts.

Which is it that they are seeking?

Answer 2

You are grossly mistaken. In order to apply for visas, your grandparents do not need to pass any form of test or show proficiency in the English language. I think you are confusing an application for a visa with an application for naturalization.

Answer 3

Know the US government, history, laws and oath of allegiance in order to acquire US citizenship.
