Does one's AGE affect the chances of getting your petition 1-130? and how to know if my cosponsor qualifies

It would need to be a bilingual friend fluent in English. If you don't have any, simply translate and certify the translation yourself.

Yes i just had someone bilingua proof-read it but if there is no one bilingial around you just do it yourself and read it over a couple of times to make sure there arent any mistakes.

Don't worry. I live with my Argentine husband in Argentina. We have been married since August 13 2010. I was 19 and he was 20. We are currently at the NVC stage.

You can translate the documents you need for the USCIS yourself, but then you are going to need to pay to translate and certify your husbands original birth certificate, marriage certificate, and police record. This is rather expensive, but there is no way around it.

Amiga I totally understand your situation I was worried about that too since I'm 20 and my husband is 24 BUT with some research I saw that there was no problem with the age. also about translating them you can translate them yourself as said above ...te deseo buena suerte en todo esto

Do yourself a favor and get it done sooner rather than later. I would have been done by now if I had known that in Argentina you need an oficial translation and an official certification. Try and get all the stuff done SOONER rather than later. Trust me.

In Argentina the paperwork is faster than in other countries (depends actually) but its always a pain in the #### and its a lot of waiting around. And you almost always have to go everywhere in the morning.

Thanks but I heard you don't have to translate those documents since the us embassy has spanish speakers.

But first those documents have to get looked over by the National Visa Center.

For Spanish and most languages, any document sent in the CMR package to the National Visa Center can be in the native language if the applicant will interview in their home country. China is an exception. There may be others but no Spanish speaking exceptions.
