Hello everybody,

I just got my citizenship and I'm planning on filing I-130 for my mom. I have two questions that are not entirely clear to me from I-130 instructions.

1. My birth certificate shows my mom's maiden name which she's changed several times after I was born. She's got an official document showing the name changes/dates. What are the requirements for the translation? Does she need to get a certified translation of the name change evidence and other documents in Russia or would it be enough for me to translate it and attach it as the evidence.

2. I have a sister who is 16 right now. Does she count as a derivative of my mother or do I need to file a separate petition for her? Or would my mom need to move here, get her green card and file a petition for my sister?

No derivatives under IR-5 visa. 

This. Either of your options are acceptable, but there is a massive time difference between the two (neither of which is fast, but one is very slow). Sibling visa will be 15 years or more.  F2A as minor child of your mom when she becomes a LPR will probably take about 2 years.

Certified Translation

quickest of your option is mother gets green card first and than sponsor her daughter for green card  in F2A category.
