USCIS & immigration interviews
Officer-led interviews where every utterance must be rendered before the next begins.
HR investigations
Witness interviews and disciplinary meetings where a clean back-and-forth is more important than speed.
Negotiations & site visits
Vendor walk-throughs, supplier audits, and partnership meetings that move at conversational pace.

Frequently Asked
Answers about consecutive interpretation.
The speaker says a sentence or short passage, pauses, and the interpreter renders it into the other language. It is the format used in depositions, USCIS interviews, IEP meetings, and most medical encounters because it produces a clean record where every utterance is fully rendered.
