You´re too kind.

Do all of the empty spaces in the translators certification have to be filled by hand? (Besides the signature).

Remember, if the consulate does not require it, if it is a document that will be required by USCIS for AOS then you will still need it translated at some point. It may be much cheaper to get a certified translation done in your home country than in the US.

(It cost us $55 USD here just to have a BC translated).

Definitely this! It was $25 for us to get L's birth certificate and criminal report translated; it was going to be $100 for the birth certificate alone.
