People, next month i have my AOS interview, and i was checking the checklist that they sent in the letter i have have 2 questions:

1) Do i have to translate my I-94 since is in portuguese?

2) Do i have to translate my police certificates? They already have all that but just to be sure..

I don't think they will ask for the police certificates. I already have my birth certificate translated.

Thx a lot

1. Shouldn't the I-94 be in english, since it's an US document?

2. I would bring everything you sent initially, just in case.

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.

WARNING: Phrases in this post may sound meaner than they were intended to be. Read the Adjudicator's Field Manual from USCIS

The i-94 could be in english but sometimes the document is in portuguese too (that happend all the time). Sometimes they were out of the english verison.

About the police certificates, i never had to translate those, that's why i'm asking.

Juliana, I think you have to translate your police certificates. The other time you didn't have because you showed them to the CO in Brazil. So as they speak both languages that was not required. Not the case anymore. You can translate it and at the end of the page write something like this:

I, <translator name>, certify that I am fluent in the English and Portuguese languages, and that the above document is an accurate translation of the document entitled “<name of the document - certidao de antecedentes criminais>”.

Signature:________________________

Date:_____ <translators name>

Passport number: CV666666

About the I94 it's ok to have it in English.

Good luck

The only thing I translated was the birth certificate. We were transfered to CSC so we never had an interview. I don't know why they would care about the police certificates; but I guess that depends on what the letter you received says.

What did the letter say?

NOA 2. Really?

As far as I know they won't require to see Police Certificates this time around. Bring your original and translated Birth Certificate and all other documentation you sent with your AOS Packet + any new documents that prove your bonafide marriage and that you two live together.

About the I-94 I believe it shouldn't be a problem but for peace of mind translate it yourself and write on the bottom of the translation the little statement like Mrs. Silverman advised.
