Do I need to get the marriage certificate translated to send with my i-130 package? If so where should I go to do this and how long does it take. Thanks.

You have to have it translated in the same place you got marries at , in my case there is a translation office in the ministry of justice where we got married .

The place I got married does not do translations. I was wondering if anyone knew a specific place in HCMC to go.

Anyone who is fluent in both languages can do it. They have to sign a written statement saying they are fluent and attest that the English copy is an exacy version of the original. I repeat.....anyone who is fluent in both and no it does not need to be notarized.

Many threads on here about it and sample written statements.

you do need to attach the original to the translation

be sure you ask for several as you may be asked for these in several places

You should not send the original birth certificate to USCIS, send the original translation along with the copy of the birth certificate.

I believe you will need to have it translated to English to submit with the I-130. Take it to Bo Tu Phap and they will translate it for a fee, of course.

For interview purposes, you do not need to translate any documents as long as they are in Vietnamese or English.

Hi,

Several pieces of misinformation.

Do not send an original. The I-130 instructions specifically tells you to send in only photocopies.

You do not need to get it translated at the place you got married. Anyone who is competent in Vietnamese and English can do the translation; anyone - no special training is needed. I have translated many documents for my family, and they have their green cards. Google "USCIS translation" for an exemplar.

Best of luck

Thanks, that makes sense. All documents going to the U.S. need translation but documents used at the embassy during the interview don't.
