Although we haven't even received the physical NOA1 receipt in the mail yet, I'm moving way ahead now.

I was looking through the required documents that have to be notarized, such as police clearance, birth certificate, and unmarried certificate. I did a search in the forum and found that Chinese beneficiaries have to go through plenty to obtain such documents.

I'm currently residing and working in Shanghai, China. I'm already aware that I've to obtain police clearance certificates from my birth country (Malaysia) and from Shanghai's notary public office.

So my question is where should I be obtaining copies of both the notarized birth certificate and statement of unmarried/being single? In Shanghai or in my birth country? Also, my birth certificate has both English and my birth country's official language (Malay) printed on it, do I still need to have it translated?

Many thanks!

Which consular are you planning for interview? I never heard that U.S. embassy in Kuala Lumpur requires any unmarried certificate except the divorce decree.

If your have the original birth certificate in English & Malay, then you do not need any official translation.

Potentially with the Guangzhou US consulate since I don't reside in Malaysia. I just noticed that my original birth certificate is in Malay. Do you know where I can officially translate it back in Malaysia?

There's a possibility that the Guangzhou Consulate requests for more supporting documents to prevent frauds, which brings me to my next question - Are there any of you out there (beneficiaries of other nationalities besides Chinese citizens) who interviewed at the Guangzhou consular office and submitted the "unmarried certificate?"

You can contact the Consulate of Malaysia in Guangzhou. The consulate usually provides translation services; make sure you want the translation into English and not Chinese.
