Hello, My husband (the petitioner) just paid the NVC fees on Friday and we are waiting to be able to upload all the docs for NVC. I am still quite confused about some things though: 1) I am Czech and will be doing interview in Prague, Czech rep.. That would imply I do not need to have my civil documents translated, right? But then on the Prague embassy page of NVC website it states I must bring translations and I have even seen somewhere on the NVC website that it said "notarized" translations, but I can't find that particular page rn to confirm. So which is it lol. I got both my birth cert. and police record translated, but not "officially" (we have what they call a "judicial translator", but if I want their signature to my translations that's another fee... Should I upload the originals' scans and then bring the translation to the interview in Prague maybe? There arent very many people from CZ here, so it's hard to find people who have got some experience there 2) How old can the police records be? I had mine done on March 29 as I was leaving to the US for 2 months to be with my husband and wanted to have it ready in case we got approved by uscis (that was quite naive in retrospect). I found information saying they should be valid for 2 years, but I also found information saying they are only valid for 6 months, making submitting a March record quite risky. Getting a new one isnt a problem, but if I need another translation, that's yet another fee. Obviously Ill get it if it's neccesarry, but if the 2 year rule applies it's a waste of money Thank you!
