Birth certificate aos

[Keenen and Nidia 1]

As long as someone is fluent in another language could they translate and get it signed through a notary? Would this be acceptable to USCIS? This is for the birth certificate translation into English for the 1-485. 

 

I could pay an official translator. But if me or good friend can do it, seem better way to go.  Wife has three pages to her birth certificate. Is all necessary to get translated? 

 

Curious what others have done. 

 

Thank you:)

Hello.

 

Yes you could. My wife did our translation and all was good.

They asked us for translated certified copy of our birth certificates on the letter they send us for AOS interview. My had her certificate certified and original copies from her country. I had mine (American Citizen) translated to English and certified . Now, did they ask for them at the interview? No they did not ask for them same as they did not ask for many other documents. They only asked for my divorce papers and of course photos of us. 

 

Does this mean they will not ask you for them? I don't know.

Does this mean your wife can do it and get away with? Possible. But do you want to take chances?
