And a certified translation can be done by any competent Spanish-English bilingual person. I did all of our certified translations and know others who have done the same. What makes it "certified" is the statement at the bottom certifying the veracity.

This is the statement:

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:

Certification by Translator

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_________________________________

Sorry to be beating a dead horse by keeping this discussion going, but this is such a long, complicated process that I want to be sure that I understand the right thing to do the first time around as frequently as possible.

I am trying to start the K-1 process with my fiance, and I just want to confirm that an "official translation" is not actually necessary for Spanish-language documents involved. I'm actually asking about translations for the I-129F, which go I know go to a lockbox in the United States. My fiance's aunt has helped several family members with visa paperwork for various countries in the past, and she is telling him that he has to go get everything translated at el Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores, even though it's going to the United States. Can someone please confirm that these documents which he is going to send to me do NOT need to be translated "officially" in Peru?

Not necessary with USCIS. What document would you even be sending to RREE for the I-129F filing?

That's what's so silly about this, we don't need to send ANY documents to RREE. My fiance's aunt is claiming that any documents that go to the government of another country have to be officially translated by RREE, but how would they even know? And the USCIS guidelines clearly do not require official translation. Thanks for confirming what I thought was correct, I appreciate it!

I want to know the fastest route through consular filing. I realize the last post on this thread is more than two years old, and things can change considerably in that time period.

In a nutshell, what needs to be done for the direct consular filing. My wife and I have been legally harassed by someone who is a continuing threat to our safety in Peru. I can prove this with legal documents and resolutions from trials that we have both gone through. I want the embassy to give my wife a greencard visa so we can both travel to the USA together and get out of harms way. After all, isn't the embassy's job to protect American citizens and their families abroad? I will be getting my Peruvian resident spousal visa within the next 30 days.

What is the quickest way to get my wife approved for a resident visa for the USA?
