I-130 Native Language Document

[RW & MA 0]

My beneficiary's native language is Arabic. For the USCIS prompt below, we had two questions:

 

(1) What format did you use in this document (did you separate out first name, middle name, etc. into separate lines)

(2) Did you write the English translation next to the native language? Or did you only include the native language?

(3) IF you wrote the English translation, did you need to submit translator certification?

 

I provided my best guess below. Would really appreciate advice others have received on the same topic. Thank you!

for the petition,  go to google translate,   write the name in English,  hit translate to Arabic ,  cut and paste the Arabic to the line 

 

when a document in Arabic needs English translation,  get one and submit both the Arabic and English documents  (best for high fraud countries to have a certified translator)

Example google writes his name Mahmoud in Arabic as

محمود

Hi! Yes, my partner and I know how to write in Arabic, so writing the native language is not an issue. I'm asking more about how others structured the document (separate lines for first name, last name, street address, city, etc.) as well as if it is necessary to also write the English translation of the name/address.

Thanks in advance if you have any advice on how to structure the document.

USCIS will also accept you just typing in Arabic etc. directly on the form.  The PDF will accept anything letters your computer will type, or paste.  You only need a separate document when that won't work.

 

Yes, follow the format shown on the I-130 for any additional document for name and address.
