spanish translations

[panda1983 1]

Hello,

I read somewhere that as long as the docs (birth certificate, marriage cert. etc) are in English or Spanish then no translation necessary when sending in the 130 for DCF filing.

Anyone know if this is true and can you provide a link of some sort?

Thank you.

I look at that link and I see it applies to Birth Certificate ONLY. Not sure if it also applies to other docs???

I'm not sure if it's the same standard for all DCF filers -- but we had to provide translations for the supporting documents for the I-130 while filing for Frankfurt Germany -- as the I-130 goes through USCIS and not the Immigrant Visa Unit. When we filed the remaining docs, we were able to file in English OR in German.

Luckily, the embassy was okay with me translating my own documents during the first part of the process -- if you follow their desired formats. Again, not sure if its the same in Mexico, but I imagine the process may be similar!

Good luck!
