Translating documents for 129-F

[malivisa 0]

Hi all,

My fiance and I are gathering up everything we need to petition and trying to figure out what to do about translating documents. He is Peruvian and speaks some English, but not great (intermediate level). When I sent him a copy of the letter of intent in English, he understands it. My fear though is that if he just signs an English version and the embassy later realizes in his interview that he is signing documents in English when he doesn't speak it fluently, they may start asking questions? If we are to have all his signed documents in English (including the G-325A form), should I translate them? Or does the translation have to be done by a 3rd party?

Also, my fiance doesn't receive mail in the house where he lives, but rather at his work. He would like to use his work address as his main one, but in needing to be 100% truthful on the application about where he lives, should we include his home address on the forms and follow up with a document explaining his situation and can any paperwork be forwarded to his work address? Has anyone done this before?

Thanks in advance for the help!

letter of intent should be fine

the English docs shouldn't be translated

for the address.. use one for residence the other for mailing address. easy peasy

If he understands what he is signing because you explain it to him, then it is fine. The letter of intent and G-325a need to be in English.
