Translated Divorce Decree

[LnS 1]

Because my fiancee is divorced and her divorce decree is in Ukrainian, I assume I will need to get this translated, correct? I also assume it must be a certified translation. So, should I send the USCIS a copy of the certified translation or should I send the original certified translation? Also, should I include the Ukrainian version along with the translated version or not?

Thanks!

<LI>Please submit certified translations for all foreign language documents. The translator must certify that s/he is competent to translate and that the translation is accurate.

The certification format should include the certifier's name, signature, address, and date of certification. A suggested format is:

Certification by Translator

I [typed name], certify that I am fluent (conversant) in the English and ________ languages, and that the above/attached document is an accurate translation of the document attached entitled ______________________________.

Signature_________________________________

Date Typed Name

Address

it's that simple. You will need to include the non-english document with the translation document.

and

USCIS no longer routinely requires submission of original documents or "certified copies." Instead, ordinary legible photocopies of such documents (including naturalization certificates and alien registration cards) will be acceptable for initial filing and approval of petitions and applications.
