English translation for document in foreign language and medical examination

[muruKun 0]

hi,

are translated documents needed to be notorized?

i need to submit translated birth certificate (family registry for my wife, she has no birth certificate) as a part of application. and i am wondering if the translated one has to be notorized., and if it is can it be notorized by any public notary or does it have to be done by consulate?

also for i-485, she needs to get medical examination done, but it seems like she wont have it until mid oct.,

i was wondering if she can get the medical examination after we send in our application,

her i-94 expires 10/12, and we are trying to send in by first week of october.

thank you

Translated documents do not need to be notarized, however with translated document you require a certificate from the translator that the translator is competent and that the translation is correct to the best of her knowledge.

You do need a medical examination for I-485.

I translated my wife's birth certificate and didn't have my signature notorized. I just made and signed a form that said I was competent to translate. No RFE for that and we filed in August.

If your wife's medical in her home country is less that 1 year old, you don't need a new medical, you just need the vaccination supplement. If you want, you can do the medical after you file. The catch is you'll get an RFE for it and everything will be on hold until it is done.

will having RFE affect the application in any negative way besides delaying the process?

As far as I know, it just delays everything and they give you a time limit to respond to the RFE. If you ignore the time limit, it could cause problems.
