Copy of certified translation or copy with certified translation?

[Mikk 0]

Looks like I need 3 copies of foreign spouse's russian birth certificate with certified translation (DCF proccess in Bangkok):

1 with I-130

1 with packet 3

1 for the interview.

 

I got one made in embassy, with certification in English. Can I just photocopy it or I'll need to make another 2?

 

If not, i also got two certified translations with notarization of certification in russian. Can I use them?

They look like this:

 

(translation)

In english: I, Ivan 1, certified translator, fluent in both Russian and English languages, confirm that the above is a true, accurate and complete translation of the attached document.

(signature of the translator)

 

And on the back there is a notarization in RUSSIAN: I, Ivan 2, certify signature of Ivan 1

(signature and seal of Ivan 2)

Moved from IR-1/CR-1 Process & Procedures to DCF Discussion.

Copy with certified translation is fine.   Never give them the original unless it is asked for.  Take the original to the interview.   

DCF does not have a packet 3 that goes in.   You take everything into the CO interview.

 

You may need the other originals later. 

 

Personally we 4 copies of everything but only have  "lost" one in the process.

Looks good. You can send copies unless they specify to send in originals.
