K1 interview and 221 (g) received

[salim123 0]

Hello all! We just had an interview at the Montreal Consulate. The officer requested an English translation of the birth certificate. My question is does anyone have any experience or been through something like this, how long does review and approval take? We were not given great instructions from the officer so we had to search around the web to find what to do next. We sent the documents through the chosen Loomis Branch. Did we complete this correctly?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

you have an easy problem to solve: find a legitimate business that translates legal documents such as your BC (because not everybody understands written technical french). follow other instructions such as format and other docs to be insreted) send it right away to the address you were given and you'll get approved =)

In my case, It's written in the instruction in packet 4 received by the beneficiary that beneficiary needs to include the english translation of the birth certificate. They provided also the sworn translator list. But i don't know how it works in montreal tho.

Thank you for your reply. We have completed that and sent it in right away. Do you happen to know how long this process will take?

Yes it is stated on there. We simply overlooked it and thought the affidavit of birth would be sufficient.

Well, what we thought isn't what they want. But you've sent what they want then you'll just have to wait. Hope it won't take long to get the approval.

uscis does not give exact timelimes for RFEs. but from secondary experience, the sooner you reply, the sooner the result. good luck!

Same with my fiancé not having his birth certificate translate to English. Doesn't anyone know if the Laos embassy will accept a co-sponsor if I send it in because I got a 221 g and they stated the birth certificate and not enough income
