I need help with the Translations

[bjpickard 0]

Hello,

My fiance just got the Packet 3.5 from the Seoul Embassy. We got all the forms including the police report, census papers, birth certficate etc..

My question is since these papers are in Korean, and my fiance wrote all the papers in English, should we do our own translations or to get it professionally translated and notorized?

Again, do any forms need to be notorized?

Thank you in advance,

Brian

Most consulates accept paperwork in English and the language of the country where the interview will be held...so translations of korean paperwork may not be necessary. There should be information regarding this on the web-site of the consulate, have you checked?

If either of you are competent in both Korean and English then you can do your own translations. Usually, you just include a statement from the translator that he/she is fluent in both languages.

The US Embassy in Seoul apparently requires at least the police certificate to be translated into English, as well as any court documents related to any adverse information on the police certificate. I didn't spend much time digging around, but I wouldn't be surprised if they ask for everything else to be translated, as well.

My final question is does any paperwork have to be notorized. It doesnt say on the embassy site if it has to or not.

If it doesn't specifically say so on the site or in the instructions you got from the embassy, then you shouldn't need to get anything notarized.

At this point, your fiancee is the one who is submitting the visa application. She's going to be standing in front of the CO when she signs some of the documents. They shouldn't need any further proof that her signature is genuine.
