hello, i'm trying to gather documents for our case at NVC.

 

1- If civil documents are in English, do they have to be translated by official translator or apostilled? For example; my husbands birth certificate is already translated in english, does it need to be "officially translated" by a professional?

 
2- For my (US citizen) financial documents, do I need to include w2 and 1099 as well (on top of IRS transcripts)? or just tax return transcripts are enough?
 
thank you really this forum is my only support.

1. As long as there is a translation, it should suffice. No need of apostille. I don't have experience specifically but anecdotes suggest that a professional/official translation is asked for sometimes. To eliminate worrying about it, I'd get an official translation with the translators credentials if I were you

2. Transcripts are supposed to be enough and you can get DQ with that. However they do ask for W2 later during the interview so if you have it, upload it

thank you SO MUCH for answers, so if a document is in english, no need to translate it with a professional right?

 

also is it okay to leave some fields empty instead of typing N/A or NONE?

1)  Engish documents can be submitted without further translation from a professional.

2) IRS return transcripts can be submitted without any other documents like W-2s or 1099s.

I put in N/A for every field i didn't fill in just to eliminate the chance of them saying it's an incomplete application. For some of the forms which were filled on pdf like i130 and i864 I left them blank and then hand wrote N/A since we need to print and sign by hand, then uploaded the scan of that as the final document

okay so, it is fine to fill on computer, then print and hand write N/A then scan and upload?

would this be fine?

 

thanks
