CUBA K1 - Translation of Docs for Interview at US Embassy

[TatiyPablo 32]

Hi All,

 

I have a question for visa filers in Cuba, particularly K-1 but any input would be great. For the interview at the US Embassy in Havana, did you or your partner translate all of their documents to English? For instance, my fiancé will have to submit his birth certificate, police records, medical exam, single certificate, etc. - must all of these be translated to English for the interview? And if so, does anyone know of a certified English translator in Havana that we can use?

 

I was able to translate his birth certificate here in New York and get it back to him, but surely I will not be able to do that for the rest of the documents that we will be getting much closer to the interview date.

 

Has anyone gone through this? Thanks so much

Regardless of the needs that Havana me have, you'll need several of these documents later on in life. When going through AOS after marriage you'll need the birth certificate again and it needs to be in English at that time. It might be easier and cheaper to have them translated now.

Great, thank you! I do have a translated copy of his birth certificate, and definitely plan to get the rest translated before AOS. Just wanted to confirm if his documents in Spanish like official records, medical exam, police records, etc. need to be translated to English before our interview at the US Embassy in Havana. And if so, if someone could recommend me a certified English translator in Havana. Thanks!

DOCUMENTS IN SPANISH WILL BE OK FOR THE INTERVIEW. Do not spend money unnecessarily if you do not have the visa!!
