Translation requirements - Does anybody know??

Ok man here is the deal... in order to get a translation for your wife's police certificate .. she can go to Ministry of Justice.. Lazogly, and go up in to the 13th floor, and ask them to translate her Police certificates.... they'll definitely translate the one she got from Egypt .. an accurate translation and recognizable by the US embassy.. and for a very little money!!

Quick question to throw in here - does it matter where the documents are translated? I have a friend here in my city who is a certified translator (for Arabic, of course) Can he translate the birth certificate I have or does the translating have to be done in Morocco? (my fiance sent me certified copies when the process started, not realizing we didn't need his birth certificate until his interview)

That's a good question and I am not entirely sure, but I know that for Tunis, they gave us a list of embassy approved/suggested translators ( a lot like for the medical exam, doctors you can use) But I'm not sure if they are as picky about translations - If you are going to use it I'd just make sure that you include a copy of her certificate to translate. However, I'd give USCIS / NVC a call and ask them that specific question. Are there translators they allow you to use in the USA? And what is the criteria, etc.

Besides it's always fun to call and aggravate them

It does not matter. I got my wife's birth certificate translated from Arabic to English in Austin Texas.

Our translator was certified by the ATA.
