Translations of foreign papers for NVC stage

[Crispyxx 36]

Hey all,

 

We are awaiting our case# from NVC within the next two weeks (what they told us on the phone) so of course, we started collecting the necessary paperwork for the packages we have to put in next. 

I know that I will need an official translation from the police certificate and since I will be heading to the translator next week it came to my mind, that I should double check if any other translated papers are needed.

My husband and I married in the US so therefore our marriage certificate is in English and we have an Apostille as well.

However, I had to do my name change in Germany since they would have not honored it from the state of Arizona so I did that when I had the marriage registered in Germany. All my official documents, such as passport, ID, drivers license were renewed after the name change and clearly state my maiden name, as well as my new name, but I am starting to be concerned if that is enough for them or if they usually also require a translation of the certificate of name change, which I have gotten in Germany?

 

Thanks in advance for any help <3

When my husband had his interview in Brazil, the consulate accepted documents that were written in Portuguese or English.  I imagine any document in German or English will not require a translation for your visa interview.  If you have police reports from living in another country, I can see where those would require a translation.  We have gone through the K-1 petition, the consular interview, AOS, and ROC, and the only document we've ever had translated was his birth certificate.

About the police cert. Sure you need that translated?
I can only speak for K1, if there was no entry in the Führungszeugnis it can remain in German.

Maybe check back at that and save some money!
Unless they only accept translations for CR-1.

Off topic: Ha, you're going to New Braunfels, TX? Exciting! THE German city hehe, my great grandaunt lived there!
All the best for your start over here and greetings from VA!

Yeah when we talked to an NVC officer(?) the last time they said since they are set up kind of confusing now I will need a translation of it if we want to be 100% sure that it gets accepted.

Since they had already lost our paperwork during USCIS stage and it took them almost two months to figure out where it is I rather get it translated instead of risking more delays now  

 

And yes lol....looks like it...we may move again but after 9 months we´re actually starting to like it there...We´re more towards Canyon Lake and got only about 3 minutes to the next boat ramp which is pretty neat

 

Thank you!!!!

Ahhhh I get you! I would translate it then, too. Just to be safe!

I have seen a documentary a while ago and told my hubs aunt Hilda lived there. Now he's using that as an excuse for us to go there, so HE can go to a fest hahaha
