TRANSLATION

[JAYANN & JAY 11]

Will I get an RFE if most of my supporting documents are not translated in English? I have a few cards that are in English but most of them are written in Filipino & most of our conversations are also in Filipino...well I usually write in English though when I talk to my fiance but he would answer me in Filipino. Do you think I would have a problem and they would send it back and ask me to translate everything like any screenshots we have of our conversations?

From what I can tell, they don't care what you talked about... they care that you talk. I use Mongolian to communicate with my fiancee, and she doesn't even have the internet, so all I have are phone records. If I send a letter, it's likely to be hand-written and in Mongolian. I might translate these things for the interview if it shows something important, but the idea is that you can and do communicate, not necessarily the contents of your conversations.

I think, actually, for the I-129F, it's not even necessary to enclose proof of communication. Much more important than that is proof of having met in person within the last two years. Worst case scenario, you get an RFE, which is a positive, as it's a chance to include any new evidence you may have forgotten before to make a stronger case.

Thank you. I usually write all my letters or talk to him in English since I am not that good at writing in Filipino.I just wanted to know since it said that all supporting documents had to be translated in English.
