Your lawyer is wrong.  Get the translations that are required per the instructions.  The interview takes place by US citizens on American soil.  The transcript is a requirement in the I-864.  This paperwork will be handled by many people and to assume that in the US all people touching it are Moroccan is a bit of a stretch.  What about the CBP agent at the airport?  That is why they require certified translations.

No, YOU are wrong.  Translations are not needed if the documents are in the local language.  China is an exception and their may be one or two more, but Morocco is not.  CBP agents need not be able to read the file.  Why not read and understand the instructions yourself before giving false information?

 

Further, NVC will accept the complete copy of a tax return and W2's, 1099's etc. with the I-864.  However, Consular Officers are tending to want to see a Tax Return Transcript at interview.  I can understand why, but it is NOT part of the official instructions.

It really is a good idea to get such civil documents translated, for possible later needs after immigrating, but visa applicants interviewing in the local language, do not need their civil documents translated as part of the US immigration process.  Consulates are prepared to deal with local language documents, either by Consular Officers, speaking and reading the language or having staff to assist.

 

Exception: China, PRC, where even though the staff will speak and understand Either Mandarin or Cantonese, (reading, maybe not so much but if you read one, you read the other) but they still not only want translations of civil documents, but they also must be from official PRC government Notarial Offices.

 

Not sure if this applies to Taiwan or Hong Kong, but I don't think so.  It certainly does not apply to Morocco.

Thank you for the info...yes, we must read literally!!!  My bad

 

Step 5: Collect Supporting Documents

 

After you collect your financial forms and supporting financial evidence, you and each family member immigrating with you to the United States should collect the civil documents that are required to support your visa application. You need to: 

• Gather the documents that apply to you using the information below.
• Send a photocopy of all required civil documents to NVC. (see submission instructions in Step 6).
• Bring the original documents (or certified copies) plus a photocopy to your visa interview at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate.

All documents not written in English, or in the official language of the country in which you are applying for a visa, must be accompanied by certified translations. The translation must include a statement signed by the translator stating that:

• The translation is accurate, and
• The translator is competent to translate.
