I am a bit confused here about the translation of documents:

I was told by the USCIS that all the translator needs to provide is a written delcaration saying they are competent in both of the languages and can translate the document.

QUESTION: Can that translator be me? I find no information to say otherwise, but I'm not sure if that makes my application look "sketchy." I personally translated one of the friend's affidavits of a bonifide marriage and also my marriage certificate. I am competent to do so.

02/23/2016: I-130 Submission DCF Lima, Peru

03/16/2016: NOA2 APPROVAL

06/28/2016: Interview at Embassy: APPROVED!!!

August 2016: Will enter the USA!

Yes you can translate the documents yourself.

USCIS most likely will accept it, depending on who reviews your case. However, once you get to the interview stage. it depends on the embassy whether or not they'll accept it. The US embassy in Sweden specifically says they don't accept translations made by the petitioner or beneficiary. Check with the Peruvian embassy to make sure.

Alright. I finally got official word back from the USCIS in Lima, Peru. Here's the screenshot to prove it. If you are competent in the languages that need to be translated you yourself can do it. That person just needs to print out a CERTIFICATE OF TRANSLATION and fill in the corresponding information. I hope this helps someone out there because sometimes translations can be pricey!
