VJiers-

I'm waiting for my Citizenship interview (August 3rd) and have a question;

Naturalization on marriage basis requires a marriage certificate registered by a civil authority. My question is if my original certificate is in a foriegn language ..what do i need to do to certify/register it in the US? when i've applied for my Immigrant visa i've provided a certified translation from a foreign translator where that embassy is located (Riyahd _KSA) .. i still have a copy of that translation .. do you think this may be acepted as a translation or should i certify it somewhere... or do i need a new translation from a US translator and registered here..

Please advise if you know the answer.. Hopefully i still have enough time to prepare such a doc.

I just dont want to see myself on rescheduling list due to insuffiecent translation docs.

thanks

We kept all the original translations and just sent copies to the USCIS of those. Did bring the originals in for the AOS and US citizenship, but kept those. We paid for those. Actually, you can do those translations yourself. Wife did her previous marriage certificate herself, pretty simple, needed that to prove she was the mom of her daughter with that name change tracing stuff. We just had the more complicated court documents translated professionally.

Certified translation means that the person who translates it (you, for example) attaches an affidavit with the following:

I (name) certify that I am fluent in both English and (your language) languages, and that the attached translation is a complete and accurate translation of the document enclosed entitled, Certificate of marriage.

Put it together with a copy of the original Marriage certificate and the translation.

I've been dealing with USCIS for 6 years now and submitted exactly that at least a dozen times. Works like a charm:) Bring the original with you to the interview.
