On the surface, it seems reasonable. However, government agencies, which I assume this immigration meeting belongs to, aren't allowed to bill deaf clients for intereter services. They can emphasize to the deaf client how difficult it is to reschedule terps, and how these delays may adversely affect the client's case.
Ah this suddenly turns into a case of the government likely catering more to a non-citizen rather than catering to it's own citizens. Given that this is a Hispanic lady seeking interpretation for immigration services, I have my suspicions.......
Plus I thought the government supplied only certified interpreters, but the private sector and non-profits it could range from volunteer terps to the highest paid private certified terps...... I could be wrong.
