Proof of ties

[norrin 3]

Do proof of ties documents need to be translated and/or notorized?

What do you mean by "ties"? If it is in Russian I recommend that you have it translated.

Proof of ties for a visitors visa, property deed, bank statements, car deed etc translated yes but what about notorized? Yes Russian. My sister in law and brother in law want to visit and have papers of ownership of a Dascha, apartment, car, bank account, work papers etc

Probably getting too focussed on documents, no document can be a proof of tie. Unusual for documents to be looked at anyway.

To immigrate certain documents may need to be translated.

You may need to get documentation from the various government agencies or financial institutions (translated) that there are no leins or levies on accounts or properties. None of those requires notarization. All notarization does is show that you made a contract or agreement with another party or group on a certain date under penalty of purgury and will probably be ignored by a reviewer.

If I use my before then my wife for an example, she applied for a tourist visa in her home country showing original documents and the ties to her home country. And the US consulate spoke her language.

Now immigration is a different thing, we had to show all the original documents plus a translation to accompany it. But never mailed in the originals, just copies, but had to bring in the originals in our interview.

Have to check with your US consulate for what they want.
