"Certified" v. Stamped Translations

[sanaamman 0]

My wife sent me her birth certificate and a translation of it because it is entirely in Arabic. The company that translated did not include a statement that they are competent to translate it into English. Instead, they stamp the translation "Ramada for Translation" with a signature of the translator next to it. Has anyone here submitted something like this and got it accepted without a problem? It's hard to find a translator in my city.

There is a big chance that it might not get accepted but if you want to try you can go ahead and send it. You will know in about 2 weeks if its ok or not. There are a number of translators online who can do it for you. Just google it and you can send them a scanned copy of the certificate and they can translate it and certify it.

Thanks californiaguy, I certainly don't want to waste 2 weeks. I found foxtranslators online, I may give them a shot if I don't find a local translator. If anyone has had experience with this or other online translators, please let me know. Thanks!

don't worry about it bro, they will accept it. i had my wife's birth cert and police background check translated in Yemen and stamped by the translator too. and i sent them and they didn't say anything. you worry too much lol. also hey my wife's papers just got to her wish me luck bro. now just still waiting for the interview lol.

Can you blame me for worrying? lol It took them nearly a month to process my DS-3032 and God knows how long I'll wait now just to generate the IV bill. They keep saying I don't attach the bar coded cover sheet even though it is the first page of everything I send them. Prayer keeps my sanity in check.

I have a feeling you will get your interview date in May inshallah. I sure hope so cause if not then imagine how long those of us who haven't completed will have to wait!
