RFE - Sweden - personbevis in Swedish? Translated?

[spacetofu 8]

Hi yall. I got an RFE (Request for Evidence) for my I-130 petition for my CR-1 yesterday in the mail. I am a little confused what they exactly want. I gave them a call but the woman on the phone said she can't see the exact details and she recommended to browse some groups online or call my nearest Embassy... so here I am! 
My husband is Swedish and I am American. They said they received the English translation of a personbevis (extract of the population register) which is the evidence I provided for us being married and living together, birth of our child, etc. They said they need a copy of the original Swedish language extract and then also an English translated copy with it. It doesn't say that it has to be a cetfified translator exactly, but it says someone who is competent to translate. I am wondering if sending the personbevis/extract of the population register which is signed and stamped by the tax agency/authority in English and Swedish is enough? The stamp and signature basically states it is the proper and true document, so I would think it means the English translation is correct. Has anyone had this issue? Did you just send that document? The other option would be to get the whole document translated by an authorized translator, but it would say the same exact information... Though the letter doesn't exactly say that a certified translator is needed. 
Anyway, thank you for your help!

Did the first one have the stamp and signature from Skatteverket?

Yes it did. It was the long personbevis/extract with stamp and signature.

Yeah, if it's the same as with the K1 they want the "Personbevis 120 med alla relationer" that has his parents on it as well. I don't really get why you would have to have it translated when Skatteverket provides it in English and I don't get why you need the original one. 

 

I recommend posting this in the Scandinavian thread found here: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/621862-scandinavians-part-2/?page=30

Most Scandinavians I think have subscribed to that thread and doesn't really check the rest of this part of the forum. Maybe one of my fellow Swedes knows more than I do.

Yeah, I sent that one, so that is why I am confused why I needed the Swedish AND English one if it is the same exact document.... thanks for posting that link, I will post on there and see what others say.

I am sooo confused right now. My husband got a copy of the personbevis however, it doesn't list my name. How did you get one with both your names? Is the trick going in person?

This seems to be an old thread from 2018, so the previous posters might no longer be reading VJ.

 

Did your husband get the personbevis “Utdrag om folkbokföringsuppgifter – 120 med alla relationer” (https://www.skatteverket.se/privat/folkbokforing/bestallpersonbevis/vanligaonskemalfranutlandskamyndigheter.4.3810a01c150939e893f22054.html)? If your marriage is registered with Swedish authorities—as it should be if you guys got married in Sweden—that one should be the personbevis that shows your marital status and the name of your spouse.

 

Edit: Of course get the official English version that Skatteverket can stamp and send to you by mail.
