A Haitian Creole interpreter for a USCIS interview in Port St. Lucie
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 Haitian Creole interpreter for a two-hour USCIS interview in Port St. Lucie is $220; with a 30-mile round trip of travel, $241.

Where a Haitian Creole interpreter is needed in Port St. Lucie, 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 |
|---|---|
| Miami Immigration Court (EOIR), One Riverview Square, 333 S. Miami Avenue, Suite 700, Miami, FL 33130 | The nearest immigration court EOIR lists, about 105 miles away. It provides the interpreter for the hearing at government expense; attorneys book us to prepare the respondent and witnesses. |
| USCIS West Palm Beach Field Office, 9300 Belvedere, West Palm Beach, FL 33411 | USCIS's ZIP code table assigns Port St. Lucie'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. |
| Florida state courts, Rule 2.560 of the Florida Rules of General Practice and Judicial Administration | 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. |
| St. Lucie Medical Center | 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 Port St. Lucie | Arranged by the attorneys, and so is the interpreter: no court or agency provides one. This is where private bookings come in. |
Haitian Creole is a standard-availability language
Haitian Creole 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 Haitian Creole 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

- 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.

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).

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.
