So, my AOS interview is in two days...

My U.S. citizen husband was born in a different country and his birth certificate is in Spanish.

He did not naturalize (no naturalization certificate)...he gained citizenship from his parents.

Do I need to have his birth certificate translated to English by a certified translator (stamped and all that)?? and have that available for the interview?

and pay the crazy $125 fee to get that done!

I really don't know if the immigration officer will ask to see his birth certificate.

thanks

He is a USC, his USA passport trumps the birth certificate. Bring that and everything else within reason along to the interview. This is more about you than it is about him. No need for translated birth certificate, someone there can read Spanish if necessary. Relax.

Even though what NutMagnet is saying its true, in my interview they asked for both my husband's birth cirtificate and passport. So if it was me, knowing they might want it I would definitely go ahead and get it translated, just in case. I had to have mine translated as well and it was no more than $25, so just get some other quotes cause $125 is definitely not the right price. Good luck

Our interview was last Monday.My husband was born in America.. we took his birth certificate with us to the interview, but the interviewer never looked at it. He just looked at his passport.. I don't think it will be a problem. Good luck at the interview!
