English translation of original birth certificate in Arabic

[tcy 29]

Hi guys! I'm the beneficiary and My i130 case was sent to department of State on 28 November. Though I'm yet to get that welcome letter from NVC but I'm trying to be proactive and now working on getting the documents ready required at the NVC stage. 

 

I need to get an English translation of original birth certificate which is in Arabic. So may I know if it's okay get translation done from a firm that provides such services in dubai and then attested from ministry or shall I directly get translation done from ministry health itself.  

My only concern is NVC checklist and I want advice as to which option is better to be on safer side.

 

Highly appreciate any advise or tips😊

As long as the translation service can attest to being fluent in English that is all that is required.  You do not need  to get it directly from the Ministry of health.  You could even do it yourself if you if you wanted and simply sign a statement of your fluency

Thank you for your reply you mentioned about sign statement of fluency....hows that done? Oh i see...just to be safer i might still send it to translation company to get it done in English...so will they voluntarily sign a statement mentioning their fluency in English and that translation is accurate etc etc? or do I have to request them to sign that statement and mention it as it's required for NVC.

Typically a reputable translation service will sign or attest to the translations accuracy as a normal part of the service.  Feel free to mention it just be be certain you get what you need

The actual words are not  so important as long as what they attest to conveys that the translation is accurate

Hi. I actually intended to get another original in English if possible but when i went to Al Baraha Hospital (part of MOH) they said rules have changed some 2-3 months ago and now onwards they'll only provide legal translations for old BC. So yes as you suggested i did get it translated from a ministry approved translation firm that operates inside the baraha hospital (part of MOH).

 

I also told them that originally my Interview was supposed to be in Abu Dhabi but now im moving back to my country Bangladesh so my embassy will now change to Dhaka US Embassy so they advised me to get the translated document attested from MOJ and M of Foreign Affairs.
