Do I need to translate the Portuguese emails to English?

[1123521 0]

Hi. I think I understand this portion of the Fiance Visa instructions application but I just wanted to ask to make certain. In the translation instructions it states the following:

"All documents neither in English nor in Portuguese must be accompanied by certified English translations done by a Sworn Public Translator."

The translation must include a statement signed by the translator that states that the:

• Translation is accurate, and

• Translator is competent to translate.

Does this mean that translations are only required for languages other than English or Portuguese? For example if our emails were in Chinese then we would need to get the translations to either English or Portuguese? But since our emails are in either Portuguese or English then we will NOT need to translate all the Portuguese emails to English. Is this correct? Thanks.

No, you don't need to translate emails. Translations are only required for languages other than English or Portuguese. The Consular doing your Interview speaks english. Since the native language of Brazil is Portuguese and the interview is in Brazil, nothing needs to be translated.

If the consulate doesnt require translations, you may need offical documents particularly birth certificate translated for AOS.

For the interview in Brazil your documents can be English or Portuguese.

However, your BC will need to be translated into English for AOS. I suggest getting that done in Brazil - that's what my husband did.

Hi. Could you explain to me what AOS is and when do we do the AOS? Also, my fiance speaks very little english and I speak very little portuguese. I heard that we might have problems getting our K-1 visa approved because we do not speak the other's language well. Is this true? Also, I have heard that the interview will be in English. Will it be a problem if my fiance only speaks portuguese during her interview? Will the interviewer give my fiance a choice of which language to use during the interview? Thanks.

AOS is Adjustment of Status. After you are married, there are another series of forms that you need to file with USCIS. This enables the beneficiary to stay here on a conditional basis, to work and eventually get a green card.

The beneficiary has the option to have an interview in English if they speak english. Otherwise, it will be in portuguese. Fernanda speaks no english. Her interview was in portuguese.
