Hello all...

My fiancee needs to get her birth certificate translated in to English due to an RFE we received. Does anyone know of a sevice that will do this for her? I need to make this as painless as possible for her as she can't get time off from work. So, basically, she would need to fax her b.c. to them so they can translate it and certify it (I guess) and then. It has to be in Bangkok. She completed her own translation on Thai Dep. of Consular Affairs. Ministry of Foreign Affairs forms, but I am not sure if they would accept it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I need to take care of this ASAP. :help:

There are lots of places near the US Embassy in Bangkok. We used Translations Express Co., Ltd. (just walked around and went into the first one we came to just off Ploenchit road). Number shown on the translation is 02-6509076. Not sure if it is the telephone of fax number. Name of translator was Mildee Sornbunthong.

Cost here was comparable to others we checked (about 350 thb per page).

My wife had ours done at English school near where we live in Thailand. Also there are many places around Udon Thani & there must be where your lady lives as well. Ours cost 500 bht for one page.

Uh... why? We didn't send my fiance's birth certificate in the original k-1 petition to the USCIS. It is not required at that stage. It's only required for them to present at the US Embassy in BKK for their k-1 interview. And it doesn't need to be in translation for that, because it's in Thailand. She will only need it translated when she needs to adjust status after marriage in the USA.

That is correct, its not needed with the original petition. However, if you do send it, it needs to be translated.

You can check with the embassy, they probably have references of acceptable translators. Claudeth had to get her German police clearance done so went to the German embassy in Manila and was given a place that did it.

Uh why? Because they asked for it would be why. I know there is nothing that says you must send in a translated copy of your SO's birth certificate, but guess what? We got an RFE requesting it.

Jamie, did you get my PM?

Got it...just trying to make this as easy for her as possible. I found one here in the States where she can scan or fax it to them and they will translate it and certify. Costs $75, but if she can't take time off of work, I don't know what else to do.

Sorry if that post sounded rude...just ridiculous they are asking something for something that isn't a requirement. I have to send it in though. Pretty soon they are going to be asking petitioners for proof they have been intimate with their SO. :whistle:

It seems that depends on the officer who has taken the file.

But then you finally got your RFE explanation soon then? did just take couple of days? That is great news!

I wish to get mine soon too!

It took 10 days from the notice (October 31st). My attorney received it on November 9th. Hoping to get everything squared away next week and hopefully an approval the week after.

Jamie, Chok Dee!!

Maybe we will have our NOA2's at the same time and our ladies will have their interviews around the same time.

That would be pretty cool...though I think if they had not asked for this birth certificate, we would have been approved on the 31st or there abouts. I found someone that will certify the translation...she just needs to scan her Thai bc in and e-mail it to me so I can send it off. From what I understand, anyone can translate it that is fluent in both languages and then sign a statement, but with the way USCIS is, they would probably RFE it again.

From my understanding, the translation must be certified and notorized. Better safe than sorry at this point.

Good luck Jamie.
