The Malaysian VJ Thread

[JP and Tee 13]

Hi there, this is my first time posting on VJ!

My fiance and I are applying for the K1 visa and we just received our NOA2 for the I129F petition 2 days ago!! Looks like it's my turn to be prepping documents now =)

I looked at the list of documents that I need to prepare and was wondering if my birthcert and IC need to be translated by a 'recognized' translator in Malaysia? I read somewhere that you can get a certified translation from Institut Terjemahan & Buku Malaysia but they charge quite a bit just for a few words. Would it be possible to just get a friend who is willing to sign off on the translation for me?

Thanks!

HI rusberri

congrats on your NOA2. pls fill in your timeline so we can help you better.

For birth cert, just go to the Jab Pendaftaran Negara and get a new one. You can read about it here. It's only RM5 and you can get as many copies as you like -- I got 3

I don't think you'd need your IC at all. I'm waiting for my interview and have not used my IC at all at any stage during the entire process since the Msian passport is considered your ID. As long as you have your passport and it's still valid at least 1 year, it should be okay.

I used ITBM to translate our marriage cert last year. For 2 pages, they charged me RM160 (RM80 per page). Wish I hadn't used them esp when they sent the documents via mail without any cardboard backing causing the papers to be all creasy and looked a mess. I was angry because they made me pay RM10 to mail it to me. And then I found out my husband could get the docs translated for free using a military service, hah!

If you need help, you can PM me! A friend of mine went through the K1 route.

No problem! I also read that if you are proficient in the language, you can do the translation yourself with a note stating you are proficient in said language. Or you can get the service of a translator.

I was wondering if I needed to get a new birth certificate for my IR-1 application.

I was born in KL, Malaysia in the early 80s and I have the original birth certificate. I have already translated it to English by a certified and licensed translator in Canada. I'm a legal resident in Canada.

My concern is that the information on the original birth certificate was filled in by hand, as with everything else in those days.

Would that be a problem?

Appreciate if anyone with similar experience could shed some light on this.

don't think that;d be a problem. I got the new one because i thought I had lost mine. Turned out it was hidden among my important documents. If it's translated into English, it should be accepted. My husband's US birth cert is a lot like the old Msian one, except there's a seal!

But they didn't ask for any documents except my passport picture when I filled it out online.I have called the foreign affairs putera jaya in kota kinabalu asking about that and they said there is no need to submit any documents to their office effective from 02 July 2013.Please let me know if anybody have experienced the same, and what is the fastest time to obtain it.I guess I'm just being paranoid but I don't want to get delay for my k1 visa interview as it's the only document I need from the checklist to schedule the interview.my petition will expired on 02 sept 2013, the embassy said it can be extended but I'm still worry.

Please help.Thank you.

[JP and Tee 13]

did you try contacting the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Putrajaya? It might be a good idea to call or email them and ask about the status of your application. In my case, they just mailed it to my given address.

Orlyclaudia, the k1 fee , I believe you have to pay on the day of your interview. This is what I understand from the instruction they gave in the check list.

I have submitted by check list and now am waiting for them to schedule my interview date.

you can google all these information. The phone number for the Min of Foreign Affairs should be on the form you sent in, as well as on the website. Same goes for the us embassy kl. You can get the info from their website; that's how I got it.

you certainly need to contact min of foreign affairs about your cogc. This is under their jurisdiction.
