Divorce papers

[Nywoek 10]

Hi 😃

We are submitting our I129f and I have sent my divorce papers to be translated. However, we use a digital system in norway where we basically sign with bank identification on papers (a digital signature, just as valdi), and thus my divorce decree does not have a physical signature. It says that the paperwork has been electronically approved, but that I can contact them for a signed version. Should I get a signed version to avoid a RFE? I am leaning towards yes..

Always a yes

Thank you! I submitted a request for one, and it will have some sort of special seal on it as well.

While we are on the topic, should I pay to have it translated? I sent the original pdf in to a firm that does it officially, and they wanted 70 british pounds. I am definitely capable of doing it myself, but will I need an official translation later on anyway?

You shouldn't translate it yourself, but you don't have to pay 70 GBP.

 

You can ask anybody who is proficient in your language and English to translate and certify it.
