RFE for AOS- Birth Certificate Translated

[Ms. Arely C. 3]

Hey Everyone!!

 

So last week we got an RFE for I-485. The letter says they want a translated Birth Certificate from Spanish to English. We had only sent a copy of the Spanish birth certificate but somehow we missed he also needed to send a translated one too. Well we got someone to translate it but it’s not a translated photo copy of the birth certificate but the words translated are arranged exactly how the copy of the birth certificate is. I read somewhere in Visa journey that they don’t want a copy typed up on scrap paper but they want like a “photo copy” of the BC and just have the words replaced/translated to Spanish. Is that true? Cus the person that translated it typed it up & arranged it like the BC has the words layed out & also got it notarized. I am freaking out a bit cus I am worried that it won’t be good enough. I have attached a picture of the translated one (with the words blurred) I tried my best to leave some examples visible so you can see how it was translated but that’s pretty much how it was translated, just typed up & rearranged like the original birth certificate. At the very bottom (below translated copy) it has that it notarized & above that section (translated copy) the person that translated it put a statement certifying he/she was able to translate it & signed it (just like USCIS states & He/she was also the one that went to go get it notarized) Please let me know if that’s good enough (or not) and if USCIS will accept that

 

Thank You!

As someone who submitted translated birth certificates, police clearances and marriage certificate, I can tell you that yours is fine.

Just send a copy of the certified translation.  That is what they want.

Thank You!! Once I saw these answers I went straight to the Post Office, 10 minutes before it closed  Case Status says RFE documents were received like 5 days after we sent the Translate BC so we’re just waiting now

Did you use a professional translator?

I used an online translating service, paid like $10, and it looks the same as yours. Wasn't even notarized, they just emailed a copy to me. No issues.

Nope. I had a family friend do it & got it notarized just in case they wanted it notarized 😅 after we sent in the translated Birth Certificate, we got a letter saying when our interview was, which we went to 1 month later.
