Birth Certficate of Fiance in Russian Language

[FrTosser 0]

For the I-129F petition for fiance, is it required that her birth certificate be translated or will the original in Russian language suffice for this step? Thank you.

The I-129F petition phase of the K-1 process does not require the beneficiary's birth certificate at all. The only birth certificate you'd submit with an I-129F is the US citizen's, and if the US citizen's birth certificate is in Russian you'll need something else (passport, Consular Report of Birth Abroad, Certificate of Naturalization, Certificate of Citizenship, etc.) to establish US citizenship and eligibility for the benefit.

I-129F/K-1 filers do not submit any documents to NVC. After the I-129F is approved and the beneficiary is preparing for the interview at the US embassy/consulate abroad, the birth certificate will need to be submitted along with a certified English translation.
