Speaking Visayan, Translation Requirements

[Annaguilar 30]

Hi guys!!

 

It's been a while since we last took care of things for our visa, I've been really busy at work and so as my fiance. Now I'm back at it. lol

I'm now getting our conversations for proof of ongoing relationship. We speak the same dialect (visayan), we don't usually speak in english on our conversations.

Do we have to translate them?If yes, like how? do we have to get an official translator and have it verified? 

And also, for proof of meeting within the past 2 years, aside from photos I believe there should also be boarding passes or tickets etc.  Unfortunately, he didnt have his tickets and boarding passes anymore but since he studied here

he had some school receipts and some receipts from purchases will those be fine? Do you have any idea of other proofs that we can obtain? 

 

Hope for your responses. Thank you!!

If you are fluent in both English and Visayan, you can easily translate it yourself. Just add a certification by translator:

 

Certification by Translator

I [typed name], certify that I am fluent (conversant) in the English and ________ languages, and that the above/attached document is an accurate translation of the document attached entitled ______________________________.

Signature
Date

Typed Name
Address

 

***

 

Conversation and calls wise, just select a sample over a period of time to show ongoing communication. You don't need the history from day 1 till present time.

 

Did you know there's a VJ K-1 guide? Here's the link: http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1guide

 

About the boarding passes, if he still keeps the flight itineraries e-mailed to him, retrieve those. With those itineraries, he can also attempt to ask for confirmation of him boarding those flights by e-mailing the airlines' customer service. 

 

Look up booking confirmations and receipts of various stuff that put you guys in the same place together.

Thanks for the helpful inputs! Too bad most of our receipts are gone already. We didn't know that we're gonna be doing this process so I guess we didnt mind our receipts. But im still going to try to look for some. our school documents wont be considered? cuz we went to the same school.

If your school documents can indicate that you guys were there at the same time, sure. Would make a good evidence too

Show as many receipts as possible. Did you both stay in a hotel together and does he have those receipts? He could also use the pages of his passport showing that he was in the Philippines at this time, but photos of you both are a really good tool as well. What my asawa and I did was basically make 2 pages of collages from 20 photos of us together and sent that in to show we have been together in the past two years. Also make sure you have them on your FB if you have it because Yes they do check that as well. 

 

Where in Pinas are you from?
