43,585 people in North Miami speak a language other than English at home, French, Haitian, or Cajun most of all
The Census Bureau counts 56,235 residents of North Miami aged five and over, in Miami-Dade County. 12,650 speak only English at home and 43,585 (78%) speak another language. The largest group speaks French, Haitian, or Cajun: 22,237 people, 9,159 of whom speak English less than "very well". Next come Spanish (18,508) and Russian, Polish, or other Slavic languages (536). (ACS 2024 5-year, table C16001.)
In all, 18,645 people in North Miami speak English less than "very well" by the Census Bureau's own measure, 33% of residents five and over. They are the people most likely to need an interpreter at a USCIS interview, a deposition, a parent-teacher conference or a medical appointment. The smaller groups in the table are estimates from a sample and carry wide margins of error.
North Miami's nearest immigration court is in Miami, about 9 miles away
EOIR lists the Miami Immigration Court at One Riverview Square, 333 S. Miami Avenue, Suite 700, Miami, FL 33130, about 9 miles from North Miami in a straight line; the next nearest is the Orlando Immigration Court, about 198 miles away. Immigration courts provide interpreters at government expense for the hearing, to respondents and witnesses. Attorneys book us for the work around it: finding out what the respondent and each witness actually speak before the interpreter request is filed, preparing witnesses to testify through an interpreter, and reading declarations back.
For green card, marriage and naturalization interviews, USCIS's field office by ZIP code table assigns the ZIP codes around North Miami to the USCIS Miami Field Office at 8801 NW 7th Avenue, Miami, FL 33150, about 4 miles away; the appointment notice names the office for each interview. USCIS does not provide the interpreter for a green card or marriage interview: an applicant who is not fluent in English brings one, who interprets word for word under oath (USCIS Policy Manual), and both sign Form G-1256 in front of the officer. With us, a two-hour interview in person is $220, plus $0.70 a mile of travel from the interpreter's location, confirmed before you pay. See interpreters for USCIS interviews.
What Florida's courts provide, and what is left to the attorneys
Florida's state courts must appoint an interpreter in any criminal or juvenile delinquency proceeding in which the accused, an accused juvenile's parent or legal guardian, or the victim or alleged victim has limited English, and in other proceedings for a litigant with limited English when a fundamental interest is at stake, such as civil commitment, termination of parental rights, paternity or dependency, and no alternative exists. Florida law lists court interpreters essential to comply with constitutional requirements among the parts of the state courts system paid from state revenues. (Florida state courts, Rule 2.560 of the Florida Rules of General Practice and Judicial Administration.) When an attorney or self-represented litigant hires an interpreter for a litigant or witness in a court or court-related proceeding, Rule 2.565 requires them to retain a certified, language skilled or provisionally approved interpreter whenever possible.
Depositions, witness interviews and attorney-client meetings are arranged by the attorneys, and so is the interpreter for them. That is where private bookings in North Miami come in. A three-hour deposition in person is $330, plus $0.70 a mile of travel: a 30-mile round trip adds $21, for $351. By video it is $240. See interpreters for depositions.

What an 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 |

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.
By video, by phone or in person
Virtual interpreting runs on Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams, or over the telephone. It is quicker to arrange, costs less and carries no travel charge, and it suits appointments, calls and most meetings.
In person is what venues with their own rules tend to expect, and the right choice when documents are being signed or several people are speaking at once. Tell us the platform, or the city and the venue, when you send the request.

- 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.
