Newbie here and getting ready to apply for a K-1 visa for my fiance who is from Ecuador. She is sending me her divorce document which is in Spanish. Do I need to have that translated to English via a certify translater. And what about all of her other documents that I will need to submit either now or at the interview. Do all of these need to be translated from Spanish to English.

Any advise is greatly appreciated. Th

See the template here for translations. Anyone fluent in both languages can do the translation. The "certification" is simply the statement you see here. Anything submitted must be translated.

Certification by Translator

I, ______________, certify that I am fluent (conversant) in the English and ______ languages, and

that the attached document is an accurate translation of the document.

Signature:

Date:

<Translator's name>

<Translator's address>

Anything submitted to USCIS in any foreign language must be accompanied by its certified translation.

OP, please read the thread begun by "amcamp" in this forum (Just Getting Started), and (if you haven't yet) pay strong attention to the Ecuador-specific Embassy Info & Reviews, and read the thread in the U.S. Embassy & Consulate Discussion forum that's entitled "US Consulate in Guayaquil, Ecuador."

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).
