Translating Birth Certificate-please help

[luis_bici_ 4]

For the AOS, I see we need my wife's birth certificate and that it needs to be translated. My question is- do I need to translate the whole page? She's from Venezuela and apparently there they write a full page story to make a birth certificate, not the straightforward ones here in the US. Would it work to just translate the few lines in the middle that actually talk about when she was born and not put in the ton of extraneous stuff that they include in their birth certificates? The whole birth certificate is 7 pages with the Hague Apostille and all the other stuff. What I would like to do is copy the page that deals with her birth, highlight the important lines and translate those. Please help! Thanks

Ii am surprised you did not need a translation to get this far. I think you need to get it done. Complete all your information in VJ, for the best assistance. I am sure someone who has had a similar situation can respond.

I guess we didn't need a translation to get this far because the embassy in Caracas accepts English and Spanish. I would imagine that an USCIS agent wouldn't want to sort through a ton of pages to find out when and where my wife was born; I got the sense as I was filling out the I-129f forms that a streamlined packet was best. To rephrase, have any VJers had to deal with a super long birth certificate that had a bunch of extraneous info in your spouse's language? How much of it did you need to translate? Thanks again!

I m from Venezuela, I translated my own birth certificate. Inbox me and I can send you an example on how to translate Venezuelan legal papers.

OP>. what did you end up doing?

I ended up typing up the birth certificate into a word doc, copying it to googel translate and the translation that came out was really good. I only had to change a few things.
