A French interpreter for a USCIS interview in Aurora
USCIS does not supply one for a green card or marriage interview: applicants who are not fluent in English bring an interpreter, who shows ID, takes an oath and interprets word for word (USCIS Policy Manual), and you both sign Form G-1256 in front of the officer. The interpreter should be a disinterested party, not your spouse or a witness in the case (G-1256 instructions).
Booked with us, a French interpreter for a two-hour USCIS interview in Aurora is $220; with a 30-mile round trip of travel, $241. If the interview runs past two hours, the extra time is billed at the same hourly rate. What to expect at each kind of USCIS interview is on the page about interpreters for USCIS interviews.

Where a French interpreter is needed in Aurora, and who provides one
Some of these places must provide the interpreter themselves, and then you should not be paying for one. Where that is so, the official page is linked.
| Place | Who provides the interpreter |
|---|---|
| Denver Immigration Court (EOIR), 1961 Stout Street, Suite 3101, Denver, CO 80294 | The nearest immigration court EOIR lists, about 15 miles away. It provides the interpreter for the hearing at government expense; attorneys book us to prepare the respondent and witnesses. |
| Aurora Immigration Court, 3130 North Oakland Street, Aurora, CO 80010 | A court inside a DHS detention facility, about 8 miles away. It interprets its hearings; preparation is arranged by counsel. |
| USCIS Denver Field Office, 12484 East Weaver Place, Centennial, CO 80111 | USCIS's ZIP code table assigns Aurora's ZIP codes to this office; the appointment notice names the office for each interview. For a green card or marriage interview, applicants who are not fluent in English bring their own interpreter, and both sign Form G-1256. |
| Colorado Judicial Branch, Office of Language Access | Colorado's state courts assign and pay for language interpreters for all parties in interest (parties, victims, witnesses, and the parents, guardians or custodians of a minor party) during or ancillary to a court proceeding, at no cost to them. That includes communication with state-funded appointed counsel and in court-ordered programs such as family court facilitations and mediations. The courts do not arrange or pay for interpreting for background information, investigation, trial preparation, witness interviews or client representation at a future proceeding, or for probation treatment services; prosecutors and parties' attorneys arrange interpreting for case preparation and communication outside court proceedings at their own expense, except for state-funded counsel appointed under Chief Justice Directives 04-04 and 04-05. |
| University of Colorado Hospital Authority, The Medical Center of Aurora & South Hospital and Children's Hospital Colorado | A hospital that receives federal financial assistance from HHS must offer a qualified interpreter free of charge and may not require a patient to bring or pay for one (45 CFR 92.201). Ask the hospital's language services first. |
| Depositions and attorney meetings in Aurora | Arranged by the attorneys, and so is the interpreter: no court or agency provides one. This is where private bookings come in. |
French is a standard-availability language
French is one of the languages we can normally staff within the week, including for in-person work in most metropolitan areas, and it is priced at the standard rate with no availability surcharge.
Short notice is still worth flagging when you enquire. A next-day virtual assignment is usually possible; a next-day in-person assignment outside a major city frequently is not, and we will say so rather than accept and hope.
The standard-availability languages are: Spanish, Portuguese, French, Mandarin, Cantonese, Arabic, Russian, Korean, Vietnamese, Haitian Creole, Polish, Italian, German, Japanese, Hindi, Urdu, Persian, Turkish, Ukrainian, Tagalog, Bengali, Punjabi, Tamil, Armenian, Greek, Hebrew, Romanian, Serbian, Bosnian, Somali and Nepali. Every other language we offer carries the 25–30% limited-availability rate, except the rare languages — Mam, K’iche’, Q’anjob’al, Tzotzil, Mixtec, Fuzhounese, Hakka, Hakha Chin, Kachin, Balochi, Bambara, Soninke, Tigre, Chaldean Neo-Aramaic and Assyrian Neo-Aramaic — which carry 75%. If a language is not on the standard list it is not because we cannot do it — it is because the pool of qualified interpreters in the United States is small enough that we will not promise a date without checking.
What a French interpreter costs, worked out
These are the published rates multiplied out: $80 an hour by video or phone, $110 an hour in person, $0.70 a mile of travel.
| Booking | How it is worked out | Total |
|---|---|---|
| One-hour video or phone call | 1 hour × $80 | $80 |
| Two-hour video interview | 2 hours × $80 | $160 |
| Two-hour meeting in person, 20-mile round trip | 2 hours × $110 + 20 miles × $0.70 | $234 |
| Three-hour deposition or closing in person, 40-mile round trip | 3 hours × $110 + 40 miles × $0.70 | $358 |
| Full day in person (six hours), two interpreters in relay | 2 interpreters × 6 hours × $110 | $1,320 plus travel |
The quote confirms the interpreter, the exact travel figure and the total before you book; nothing is charged until you confirm.
How the travel charge works out
Travel is charged at $0.70 per mile from the interpreter's location, which means you can work it out rather than wait for a quote: a 20-mile round trip is $14, a 60-mile round trip is $42, a 150-mile round trip is $105. There is no separate call-out fee on top.
We will not pretend to know in advance where the interpreter will be coming from — that depends on the language, the date and the venue. What we do is confirm the interpreter and the exact travel figure before you book, so it is never a surprise on the invoice. Virtual assignments carry no travel charge at all, which is one reason most of what we do is virtual.
How booking an interpreter works
- You send the request with the form below: the language, the setting, the format, the date and how long it should last.
- We confirm before you commit: the interpreter, the exact price and the travel figure if there is one. We reply within minutes, four business hours at most, and no payment is taken at this stage.
- You confirm and pay, and the interpreter is booked for your date. The interpreter's name and credentials are sent to you once the booking is paid.
What to have ready
The more of this comes in the first message, the fewer exchanges before you have a price:
- The language, the date, the start time and how long it should run.
- Virtual or in person: the platform, or the city and the venue.
- The setting and the subject matter.
- How many people need interpreting for.
- Any credential the venue requires of the interpreter. We confirm before you book whether we can staff it; the interpreter's name and credentials follow once the booking is paid.

Do I need to bring my own French interpreter to a USCIS interview in Aurora?
Yes, for a green card or marriage interview. USCIS does not supply one for a green card or marriage interview: applicants who are not fluent in English bring an interpreter, who shows ID, takes an oath and interprets word for word (USCIS Policy Manual), and you both sign Form G-1256 in front of the officer. The interpreter should be a disinterested party, not your spouse or a witness in the case (G-1256 instructions).

The Denver Immigration Court, at 1961 Stout Street, Suite 3101, Denver, CO 80294, about 15 miles away in a straight line, per EOIR's court directory. It provides the interpreter for hearings at government expense; preparing the respondent and witnesses is arranged by the attorney.

Do Colorado courts provide interpreters?
Colorado's state courts assign and pay for language interpreters for all parties in interest (parties, victims, witnesses, and the parents, guardians or custodians of a minor party) during or ancillary to a court proceeding, at no cost to them. That includes communication with state-funded appointed counsel and in court-ordered programs such as family court facilitations and mediations. (Colorado Judicial Branch, Office of Language Access.)
Is the price per person or per interpreter?
Per interpreter, per hour, billed from the scheduled start time. One interpreter covers a meeting; a full-day hearing may need two working in relay.
What if the venue provides its own interpreter?
Then you should not be paying us. Immigration court provides one, and hospitals and school districts frequently must. Ask them first.

Tell us the credential the venue or the other side requires when you request, and we confirm before you book whether we can staff it. The interpreter's name and credentials are sent once the booking is paid.
How is travel charged?
