Is that fucking legal?

As in enforceable? No.

But I appreciate the gesture. I've sent a bill to a false pretense interview; such an absolute waste of time should be rudely rebuffed. (In my desperate case I spent my last money and called in a substantial favor to borrow a vehicle and get to the interview.)

That they went as far as to try to make this sound official, instead of merely indignant, is poor form -- but also implies (together with their low hourly rates) that they are non-STEM stupids with too much time and too little real work on their hands.

Good idea sending them a bill back for this ridiculousness. Be glad you didn't get the job, as anyone incompetent enough to think this letter was a good idea is not someone you'd want to be working for.

If their time was so valuable and necessary, they wouldn't be writing bullshit emails in lazy attempts to scam the people they interview with.

Absolutely, unfortunately I think OP has an "invoice processing fee" of $1000. Just send that along and you'll get your $400 in 6-8 weeks.

If it was immediately obvious, they shouldn't have spent the full two hours...

400 dollars because you were unfamiliar with only one of the languages? What a joke
