You do not have to pay for a translation, anyone who is fluent can translate the documents as long as they sign that they are fluent in both languages.

Example:

I, < translator name >, hereby certify that I translated this document from <native language name> to English, to the best of my knowledge, ability, and belief, and the above translation is a true, complete, and accurate translation of <document name>. I attest that I am competent to complete this translation and fluent in both <native language name> and English.

This is great news! We were told that we needed an official stamp/steal form a translator. Have you personally done this? Or is there a rule we overlooked? The translations are not cheap, but I want to double check. THANKS!

As I understand you don't need official translate proofs like bank account,etc

Birth certificate and marriage certificate has to be translated by an official translator...Am I right?

Foreign income doesn't count, but if it turns out she owes money in the US for taxes, you could have issues as soon as you move. Besides, filing US taxes will (I would imagine) help to establish what they call "a good-faith effort" to maintain or reestablish residency in the US, when it comes time for her to fill in her portion of the sponsorship form.

It's one of the things they look for when adjudicating that part of the application, when your spouse has not maintained a residence in the US.

My husband has been living in Canada since University, and we're looking at the same problem now that we want to relocate to the US.

For you this is harder. Montreal is a strict consulate for domicile. Most overseas consulates just need proof of intent to reestablishing domicile vs actually establishing it.

As for the translations, as I understood you dont need official translations but I also did not need to translate anything. You may want to inquire in your regional forum.

@NLR....I have to find forum about that topic at my place:)

Who is processing extra proofs about marriage (joint bank acc,etc....)...USCIS with I-130 or at the final interview?

[NikLR 13,227]

You need evidence with the original I-130 which hopefully makes it through to the interview. There are two spots before interview to get relationship info into the hands of the CO before you see them. One is the I-130 and the second is with the Immigrant Visa package sent to the NVC.

Just info about IRS and tax file if you are single and your incomes are less than $9.750.

IRS answer about this topic was:

If you are NOT required to file a tax return under IRS rules, you are NOT required to file anyway because of an immigrant visa request in process or in progress. ALL that is needed is for her to tell the agent she did not file IRS returns because she not supposed to file due to her low income level and the fact she is below the official IRS filing requirement. Also, she should print the following pages from the IRS Form 1040 Instruction Booklet and provide them as proof. I am pasting them in below after the closing. Thank-you.

The amounts above which one was required to file ( and if below do nothing ) are: as pictured below:

2012 $ 9750

2011 $ 9500

2010 $ 9350

Questions about the evidences (beside marriage cert.):

- For example at our place,utilitiy bills are always on the one name (cant add)

- owner of the flat where we are living is my mom, so we doesn't pay rent.(cant add)

- For calling each other we use viber (there is no call log possible - cant add)

- Chat logs are in croatian language (we are both speaking that language)...there is to much for translating to english ?!?

- Ok, we do have the same living address and we live together in cro . Legal certificate that I am living at address in croatia, because I am slovenian (just 40km away from cro). Is this certificat and copy of her document with that address enaugh to prove that we are living together?!?

Question about household size:

My wife has a child (16y) from her first marriage who is living with his father in US (from 2013). So in house hold size...do we put 2 or 3?! It is kind of important for us, because we will use assets for I-864.

[NikLR 13,227]

Which is the USC and which is the beneficiary? If the wife is the USC then she needs to count her son even if he doesn't live with her for the I-864 household count. If the wife is the beneficiary you do not need to count the son if he isn't living with you.
