TRANSLATIONS OF FOREIGN DOCUMENTS FOR EMBASSY

[goldie 0]

up to know i thought, i have to translate my 9 pages divorce decree from german in english through a official certifide translation office. but, for only the decree, i will have to pay around 1000$!! now, i found at the VJ site, "assembly tips" following note:

"Please submit certified translations for all foreign language documents. The translator must certify that s/he is competent to translate and that the translation is accurate.

The certification format should include the certifier's name, signature, address, and date of certification. A suggested format is:

Certification by Translator

I typed name , certify that I am fluent (conversant) in the English and languages, and that the above/attached document is an accurate translation of the document attached entitled ."

Signature

Date Typed Name

Address

does this means, i am allowed to take p.example. my cousin, who talks fluent english, he signes everyting, and thats it?? would be grate, otherwise, i will be bancrupt until i will have the k1 visa in my hands....

anothert thing: do i have to fill every form for the k1 visa 3 times?( me and my 3 kids) or only for me? and if i have to fill 3 times, do i have to pay 3 times then the k1 visa? thanks alot for all ur help!

It is not a requirement for a certified translator to be used. There has however been the odd member who has had to have documents translated again by a certified translator when they have submitted documents translated otherwise. What you have posted is also on the USCIS website. All it asks is that a person fluent (conversant) in both the language and english certifies that the said documents translated are accurate.

thanks lorelle,

sooo, just a thought, could I as well translate my documents and sign them??

Personally even though there is nothing techinally stopping you from doing that.....it is possibly more likely if a Conof is that way inclined, to ask for it to be resubmitted as per a certified translator. At least having a sister or someone else do it may be less troublesome. Just my opinion.

Claudeth needed her German police clearance translated so she went to the German embassy in Manila and they sent her to a translator that had the police forms in English and then just translated the German information across to the form. You might check with the embassy of where the document originated. Good luck
