221(g) - P.T.O

[Safety Chick 5]

Hello,

Went for my interview yesterday and was requested to provide translation for some of my documents by a 3rd party(I translated originally).

On the back of the 221(g) form they wrote P.T.O - does anyone knows what does this mean?

Most likely professional translators office, however I am not from your Australia so no guarantees!

I do know all translated copies are required to be done by a certified translator, who actually stamps the translated copies with proof of their certification. This is who we had translate ours and they went through just fine. I wish you well!

Ah... on the back... most likely does mean please turn over... but the translation requirement still stands

Thank you all for your answers.

I think that the first post - "Please turn over" makes more sense since when you turn the page over it indicates what I need to send.

By the way - you don't need a certified translator, the officer said it just needs to be a 3rd party that is not the beneficiary or the petitioner. as long as the person is competent in the languages and makes a declaration about it, it's enough.

OK... but the requirements listed on our final interview paperwork from the NVC clearly stated certified translated copies only. I would personally be better safe then sorry. Why would you trust just anyone that can translate without certification with the most important paperwork of your life? That's just me being me though

Either way good luck to you - I hope it all goes smooth from here!
