Translations Clarification with the London Embassy

[Adam and Cat 0]

Hello everyone,

 

I have a question regarding translations for our K1 Visa. IN my particular situation, we must get a translation for my Fiancees birth certificate for our interview. However, there is a lot of conflicting information (some of which is out of date). Some are saying that we may do the translation ourselves if we're fluent enough, and some are saying that it must be someone that you are not related to. We're concerned on whether or not we have to pay out of pocket for this as after contacting 9 different translation agencies in the UK, only one has responded since Friday. Hes asking for 120$ for a translation and that honestly ridiculous for 2 pages. I have seen that previous users have used REV to translate their documents but our concern is that since it'll just be emailed to us, it wont be notarized or anything. I'd great appreciate this community's input, as you all have been very helpful in making sure that i never had to receive an RFE and was able to due it solely by researching topics on this website.
