Required documents from the NVC which need to be translated into English...

[Tommy&Toni 2]

On the NVC's web page is stated that all translated into English documents need to state that "the translation is accurate and the translator is competent to translate". Does that mean that the text on the translated document can be a little different but basically saying the same thing or does it have to say exactly what is pointed out from the NVC? Anybody know? Thanks ))

hi

you have to translate all the documents required and whoever translates them should

notarize these documents

So, what do you do? You would translate the document, then you take it to a notary public to notarize your signature? Is this what you guys are saying?

No,no.... Ok, i didn't explain myself very well, sorry about that.

OK, my birth certificate is translated from an agency, got stamps and everything. Yesterday I was browsing thru NVC's web page and it said that all translated documents should say "The translation is accurate and the translator is competent to translate". My translation does not state that in the exact same words. It only says that the translation is authentic with the original. I was wondering if that could be a problem. Probably not but I just wanted to make sure before hand...

That's good enough.

I mean in my country there is a special office that deals with all of immigration processes and there are people there that guide you and translate and stamp and sign every document needed and sent along with the original.

Thats good enough but I didnt know how it is in Bulgaria, if you have such an office or anything

we were told at NVC the papers did not have to be translated if the interview is taking place in egypt. Although we will get them translated before Tamer comes here, it is cheaper to get them translated there instead of here. On the embassy websites (most) the will give you a list of approved locations for translating your documents....

We have had no issues with this, we are just waiting for SIF at NVC....almost there

Thank you guys for the info

I will just go with the translation I already have... I believe the notarization and the stamp are most important anyways.
