Translation question

[visaveteran 1]

I'm a little rusty on the rules about translating documents to English (step son's birth certificate). I seem to remember whoever does the translating has to certify the translation is accurate blah blah. Is this true?

The good news is we have the birth certificate with us in the US, so no need to DHL, etc. But I think translation will be more here. What's the going rate?

Gary, I know Alla does translation, what would she get to translate a birth certificate?

VV,

You are correct about translations needing to be certified. You should PM Gary & Alla about a certified translation.

Correct. Moscow also requires any document translated from a language OTHER THAN RUSSIAN to be notarized For instance, if he was born in Ukraine and his birth certificate was Ukrainian, she would have to have the translation notarized. Otehr wise it does not need to be notarized.

since you asked in a public forum, it is NOT advertising to say her fee for one document is $40, includes TWO certified translations and regular return postage. She can translate from a scan if it is legible. PM me for email address if you are interested.

Recently there has been a change in policy, in Ukraine at least, that any origional docs ie. birth cert, police report, in Russian or Ukrainian language no longer need to be translated to english for visa. It may be different in your case (Russia) but for our K1 (Ukraine) they no longer require translations of these docs. .

Any Russian marriage brothers know about this issue? Do we still need to translate original documents to English?

VV. Cranehand is not considering your situation. You are filing your petition...I-130...with the USCIS. USCIS most definitely requires a translation of Russian documents. You may not need to do so for your ultimate embassy interview, but you WILL need the translations for the petition filed with USCIS.

Cranehand's fiancee probably had no previous marriage, this means she would not need to file a divorce certificate with his I-129f petition. If the consulate recently changed their policy regarding documents, then that would apply to any action at the consulate. NOT with USCIS

He will file his petition for an IR-2 with USCIS, NOT the Ukrainian (or Russian) consulate.
