Morocco Specific

[moroccan love 0]

I hope you can help.

Those of you that have filed the CR-1 or old K3 Visa, the letters from family and friends specifically from Morocco.....

1) Were they translated from Arabic or French to English?

2) Did they have to be certified?

I have heard many say they can be in English as long as they are signed and there is a statement regarding the translations value and the ability of the person to translate. USCIS states this as well.

Others have said they need to be in Arabic or English, translated and then they will be stamped but they will not be "certified" without translation.

I know the letters I have been provided here in the US have been certified when signed. I just want to be certain we don't have a problem down the line.

Basically, do they need to be certified and translated or can they be written in English?

Thanks

When I filed the initial petition I sent in two affidavits, as per the instructions on the form. One was sent from my side and one from his. The one from my side I just sent in as I received it from the person writing it but signed. If you look in the Wiki's there is sort of a format for information for them to include and it was followed. For his side it was written in Arabic so I had it translated here to English and it was from a certified translator. I sent copies of both the original and the certified translation. I hope this helps!
