Translating Documents for AOS

[Hiinsharm2011 0]

Might be a stupid question, but do I need to translate all of our documents for the AOS since they are in Arabic. For example, my husband's property ownership papers, my temporary resident visa, etc. Just so difficult to translate where we are since no one does it in our city and we have to travel more than 7 hours by bus to Cairo and then have the documents translated and then wait 3 days or so for it to be done, while we either have to rent a hotel for those 3 days or travel another 3 hours to another city where we have a place to stay. Just so much to translate these documents. Is there an easier way? Thank you!!!

Stupid question. I know the answer. Just wanted to complain and share my frustration.

Side note: Is there a way to delete this post?

Can't you, your spouse, family, or friend of translate Arabic to English? Why do you have to go to Cairo?

Is there a reason why you can't scan and fax or email the originals to someone who can do the translation, and have them send the translation to you?

I didn't realize I could have anyone translate it and have them sign the form. Thought I needed an official translator approved by the embassy. Thanks!
