"not very nice, but necessary"

To ensure that walk-ins can communicate
their wishes clearly, post may wish to prepare
language cards that can be shown at first contact
to a walk-in who does not speak English, giving
options from which the walk-in can select. One
option should be "I wish to speak with an American
official." Other options should be plausible
alternatives, such as "I wish to obtain information
about travel requirements." In addition to the
local language, post should consider having such
cards available in priority interest languages such
as Russian, Spanish, Arabic, Farsi, Mandarin, and
Korean, as appropriate in light of the local
environment.
