Translations for K-1 Visa

[Tjl3909 0]

Valeria passed the physical with flying colors! next is her interview 8/11, however I am confused with the wording regarding translations:

TRANSLATIONS: Documents in English, Ukrainian or Russian do not need to be translated. When you arrive for the interview, you MUST present all the original documents accompanied by an English translation, which is produced by a certified translator, only if the document is not in English, Ukrainian or Russian. After the interview, all originals except the medical examination report will be returned to you. The consular officer has the right to request translation of any submitted document.

First sentence says docs (hers is Ukraine) "DO NOT need to be translated", then it states "you must present all the original documents accompanied by an English translation"

So do we need the docs translated? I appreciate feedback as our day is coming soon, and if we need her docs translated she will have to take a 4 hour train to Kiev, drop off the docs and go back a few days later

You only need to present documents with an English translation that meet the requirement to be translated. Russian, Ukrainian or English documents do NOT meet the requirement to be translated and therefore do not need to be translated.

I think that is just their confusing way of trying to say that it is necessary if it is not in one of those 3 languages. You will need certified translations when filing AOS, so it wouldn't hurt to get it early if you are feeling nervous, but you shouldn't need it at the interview.

Other than the birth certificate, what other documents are your referring to that are needed for AOS?

We only needed the birth certificate translated.

What do you not understand? If the documents are in English, Russian or Ukrainian they DO NOT need to be translated.

Also, you can get the birth cert. translated here. You can do it yourself, actually.
