Email translations

[Alex76 0]

I'm new at this and will be sending my I-129F petition for my fiance who lives in Japan. Along with other proofs such as airline tickets and photos, I am also planning to include our email correspondence. However they're written in Japanese. Would it be possible to translate the emails myself and signing my name that I am competent to translate or do I need to have someone else translate? I'm also including screen shots of calls using the Viber iPhone app. I would be very happy if someone could give me some info about this.

Thank you

Others could correct me, but i don't think you need to show them in detail how the two you talk in email (you can but it's not that necessary)- screenshots, postal mail, call records, call logs are enough. Translations are just for primary documents like birth certificate, marriage certificate, divorce papers,etc

Just to send petition for I-129F, you will need only the proof of the meeting within last 2 years. Like boarding passes, pictures with dates, passport stemps. The rest of the evidence will only be needed during the interview stage and not required at this point.

Not needed with the I-129f AT ALL.

For the interview, later, check with the consulate and see if they require translations, some do not. If they do then yes, you will have to translate a few emails.

Don't

I concur with the others. Don't include email, IM, etc. It's completely meaningless and doesn't add anything to the application.

I was at the Tokyo US Embassy during the interview and they didn't even look at half the pictures/documents.

Nice post. I was going to ask my fiance to printed out some of our emails. But most answer said no needed. So I would stick with it.
