Hello,

I read in some other post that it is required to have all foriegn documents translated into english. Is this true and if so where does one go to have it done? Jenny has asked around in her city of Pereira, Co, but has not had any luck.

Thanks in advance for the advice.

Anybody fluent in both languages can do it. They then just add a statement indicating they are competent to translate English and "Whatever" and that the translation is correct, and sign it.

Correct. Only the foreign language documents submitted to USCIS will need translation for the visa stage. However, the beneficiary's birth certificate is submitted to USCIS to adjust status, so get it translated now or later.

Instead of her trying to find a translator in Pereira (where my wife is from also) you can have the document translated here in the US. I found a great certified translator who was also a notary and she has been super for me. Just search in your local phone book.

May love and laughter light your days,
and warm your heart and home.
May good and faithful friends be yours,
wherever you may roam.
May peace and plenty bless your world
with joy that long endures.
May all life's passing seasons
bring the best to you and yours!

I was gonna say exactly the same thing, if he is the petitioner it would be better if he translates the papers here, even though he didn't state at what point of the process they are in, or maybe i missed it :blink:

I think it would be more accurate here in the US.

Buena suerte!!!!
