You will apply for an IR1/CR1 visa or a K1??? I will tell you about IR1/CR1..... Have your birth certificate, Marriage certificate and if your name changes due to marriage, then your new DNI. This is what we did for the CR1 visa. This is necessary because USCIS needs these documents translated; however, NVC does not require it as long as (in the case of Peru) the original documents are in Castellano. Note that it is a step by step process and USCIS requires a translation into english. I hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Magnus

I'm from Peru too!

I'm actually going to apply for adjustment of status. I'm inside the US and I need to file my birth certificate along with all the forms and more documents. But my birth certificate is in Castellano (from Peru) so I don't know what's the best way to translate it. Should I just go to a professional translator here in the US?

Well, you may have to use a translator here in EEUU. We had all our documents translated in Lima. It was very economical and perfect. Very cheap!!!! You will need a translation but I don't know about prices here.

Buena suerte!!!

Look at the info halfway down this page. No need to pay someone to do it if you or a friend/family member are proficient in both English and Spanish: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextchannel=fe529c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD&vgnextoid=ff053d146a7ee010VgnVCM1000000ecd190aRCRD

Just need to attach that little "certification statement" by whomever writes the translation. For our case, I (the USC) did them myself.

The foreign spouse's birth certificate is not needed with the petition so no translation is needed. This birth certificate is submitted in the native language, at the NVC stage, provided the native language is the same as the location of the Consulate.

If you needed for the interview, there is no need to translate it, since here (Peru) official language is Spanish, if you are just sending your application you don't need to send your birth certificate, it will be handled by you at interview stage

Actually, she is sending nothing and certainly not an application for anything. The US Citizen spouse is filing a petition, which does not require the foreign spouse's birth certificate, much less a translation of it. Please don't use the term "application" when referring to the filing of a petition.
