Question on G325A

[Rwb964 0]

Sorry to revive an old thread. The answers to the OP's question is vague in my eyes and not concrete.

If anyone can please answer this question:

Do we need to get a fluent translator for filling out the addresses and previous employment history and etc?

I understand that official documents will need the below, but what about addresses and previous employment history?

USCIS Translation Policy and requested format for statement

In my situation, I can easily translate them to pinyin, but I just want to know if I need to get a translater to verify it and sign the letter above regarding the home addresses and work history?

Thank you in advance.

Addresses tend to be the most difficult for some people but names are just transliterated to Pinyin. Most any Chinese person under 40 with a high school education is able to provide the information for the form in Pinyin if they understand the questions. In my experience the US Citizen takes charge of getting the information on the form and the Chinese beneficiary simply signs it and writes their name in Chinese characters in the one place it's required.

Things like divorce decrees, birth certificates and police reports need to be Notarial translations from the local Notarial Office called Gong Zheng Chu.

You'll want to provide the address including a phone number in Chinese on an attached sheet as well. The Consulate will need that.

No translator needed for the G325A.
