An Error on the Certified Translation

[ankara 0]

Hello everyone,

I recently had a letter from USCIS that asks me to re-send a missing document, which is my birth certificate with its certified translation. I asked my family in my home country and they prepared the document with the translation and sent it to me with an express delivery, so that I wouldn't lose any more time on my EAD and Green Card process. I received the package today, however, I saw that there is a copy-paste error on the translation. It's for the row with the information of my father (the word "father" was translated as "husband") and it looks weird but I know it's a copy-paste error due to an earlier translation the same translator did for me.

It doesn't really affect the birth information on the document about me, and they probably know that my father is not my husband (I am a male) but still... It's an error done by a certified translator and now the possibility of having another similar letter from USCIS worries me. I really don't want my family to deal with this again and pay more for another express package to here, but I also want to have some opinions and good and relaxing "news" first, before sending the package to UCSIS. What would you do in this case? Do you think that UCSIS would ask me to send the document with a "proper" translation again?

Thank you very much.

Thank you both very much. Since i have the original document with me, i decided that i will get the translation done here and send it to USCIS. Plus, it doesn't have to be a certified translator, so anyone who knows Turkish and English could do it for me. And I don't live close to the consulate, so I think getting a proper translation of the original document is the best option for me now. I don't believe risking to lose more time is a good idea either!
