Some small questions about K1 visa packet

[Alex & Annelynn 0]

Hello everyone! We have a few more questions:

 

1. Is it necessary to translate train/bus tickets from French/Dutch to English? Could I just do it myself?
2. Do I (the beneficiary) need to take copies of every page in my passport?
3. When Alex flew to Belgium he took an indirect flight via Madrid (Spain) and only got a passport stamp there, not in Belgium. Is this normal,  would it raise questions?
4. In the I-129F file when they ask for the mothers name, does it need to be the maiden name?
5. Do we need to provide Alex's birth certificate since he was not born in the US, or is his naturalization certificate + US passport enough? 

6. I recently graduated so I haven't had any real jobs apart from a summer job, do I include that as my employment history? And since I had the same job in the same company for 4 summers in a row, what do I write as start and end date? Do I split it up in 4, and put the start and end date for each year?

 

Thanks!

1. If you're using them as proof of an in-person meeting and including them in your I-129F packet, they need to be translated; you can do this yourself if you're willing to certify you speak English and French/Dutch well enough to do this (there are example statements for this elsewhere on this site, I think).

If you're using them as relationship evidence and bringing them to your interview, check with your embassy/consulate, but they usually accept documents in the local language (or languages, in a country like Belgium) as well as English.

 

2. You don't need to include copies of blank pages with the I-129F; you'll need to bring your actual passport with you to the interview.

 

3. It's not unusual; lots of people go through one hub or another within the Schengen area. As long he's got solid evidence (boarding passes, hotel receipts, etc.) that you got to the same place at the same time within the last two years, you're fine for USCIS.

 

4. Since it doesn't say, I'd think they want her current legal name.

 

5. The petitioner's birth certificate is not required; evidence of US citizenship is required. A copy of his passport bio page or his naturalization certificate is sufficient for this.

 

6. Education is not employment; don't include it in employment history. I'd probably list your summer job 4 times because there's no way to list 4 separate start and end dates (if you can't remember the exact dates, month and year is fine).

As to the translation -  here is the certifying signature we used: https://www.visajourney.com/content/translations/

If the petitioner is U.S. born the the birth certificate is evidence of U.S. citizenship.
