Translating Receipts

[GJen 9]

I have hotel receipts and receipts where I withdrew money from an ATM in Venezuela. I read an earlier post that said if it's attached and in another language, it should be translated.

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:

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

I found that on the USCIS site (General Tips for Assembly). Now, technically it's not a document. But who wants an RFE, right? So.... should I stick this on the sub-cover page I plan to make for my evidence? Also, "date of certification"... would that just be the date I translate it? I'm not officially certified. I just know what the receipt says.

Only translate official documents. In your case, there shouldn't be any foreign language "documents" submitted with the petition. You can submit receipts without translation.

Note: I know the profile says N/A for filed for but I'm aware this is a fiance case, not a CR1, even though errantly posted in the wrong forum.

Sorry! I dunno how that happened.. I don't even know what a CR1 is!
