Evidence for k3-visa

[shenxu 0]

Hi

Some of the evidence I submitted for our k3 visa included emails me and my wife had exchanged. But I was just thinking many of these emails are in Chinese with no English. Will they accept this as evidence? or is it not good enough? I was just worrying about these details.

Who is the "they"?

The USCIS? If so, then no they will NOT as it specifically states in the instructions that any evidence submitted to the USCIS that is NOT in English must be accompanied by an English translation.

OR

The US Consulate in Guangzhou? They might ... Others more familiar will answer.

They probably won't look at the ones in Chinese. Since the USCIS won't translate stuff.

Anything sent to the USCIS Service Centers should be in English or translated to English.

Yes, I meant USCIS. Can I translate it myself? and then send them a translated version? Translation is not cheap!

thanks!

No need emails for the initial submission. They come into play at the interview!

Emails don't prove your marriage. Assuming you married in China, you would have taken your red books to the local notarial office (Gong Zheng Chu) for Notarial translations and ended up with a glossy white booklet in both languages. If you submitted that, you've proved you are married. Emails can be evidence of your bona fide relationship and are best taken to the interview. They need not be translated.
