I'm new to VJ and preparing my I-129. I have a fews questions that hopefully someone can give me advice.

My fiance has a child, but we are not soliciting a visa for her at this point as she lives with her mother. The form asks to list all children; will this be an issue for us? He does pay child support but on a volutary basis, NOT court/government ordered.

My fiance speaks English, but is not completely fluent. I am having the letter of intent translated but was wondering if the G-325A needs to be translated as well...he understands enough to fill out this form on him own.

Thanks for any advice available!!

What country is your fiance from? I'm not sure I understand what you are saying regarding G-325A and translation. If I'm reading what you wrote correctly, he understands English enough to fill it out on his own in English?

His native language is Spanish but yes, he understands enough to fill out the form. I was just curious if all forms and letter of intention that need his signature have to be in his native language and then translated to English. I'm just trying to avoid all problems or RFE's :)

Thanks for the help!

Other Memeber double check my advice here, but All Forms need to Translated and In English. Right down to the birth certificate, letter of intent, 325, everything. Don't matter who fills them out but has to be signed and dated by him/her. Paying Child Support is not an Issue. All Immediate family members (sons/daughter) are to be included on the application whether you are seeking a Visa for them for now or later.
