Hi,

I was wondering if a translation to English is enough for USCIS, NVC,...or do we need an Apostille on each document too?

Thanks!

Play it safe and have a copy of the original language document attached to the translation. And yes, you will need apostille on each translation.

The USCIS accepts a simple translation. I translated some of the information we sent to the USCIS and we didn't get an RFE, we sent copies of the originals.

Now, the NVC accepts documents in English or the language where the interview is being held.
