Spanish documents translation

[Lucre 45]

Hi! I was wondering if I need to translate Spanish documents to fill CR1 paperwork. By documents I mean: birth certificate, police records, screenshots and chats.

I can't find any information on official sites but I've read that it's not needed for Spanish documents.

All documents sent to USCIS  must have translations per the instructions here: https://www.state.gov/m/dghr/flo/154965.htm

That might be true for documents submitted at the interview....Where did you read "that it's not needed for Spanish documents."?

Mostly videos and post from people telling their experience. But I know that's no official so I tried to find official documents and didn't find anything so I wasn't sure. I'll try to find those posts again and post them.

Every legal document in another language other than English must be translated. However, we submitted text messages that are in Spanish and we didn’t translate and had no issues. I assume they wouldn’t expect someone to translate so many pages of text messages, what it costs per page to have something translated, that would cost fortune.

I'll probably get the official documents translated and add descriptions for screenshots, texts and skype convos

Is this for a K-1 or a CR-1?

Yes, you definitely need all the official documents translated. If you don’t they will reject your case for incompleteness. They will keep your money and you make you start all over again. Not worth it. They also have to be certified translated, I.e., a certified statement will be attached to the actual English translated documents. I use The Spanish Group. They are online and do everything electronically. It was the most convenient and they translate for immigration documents all the time. I’ve listed their website below.

Hi. I filed for a K1 visa not sure if you are filing for that or the CR1 my fiancee country is Ecuador obviously her country is all spanish. I have petition her on November got approved in March with no problem using this service:

They have the seal of USCIS on their page meaning that they know what there doing for immigration. They certified the translation however it has a cost normally the respond in 2-3 days.

 

If you can translate I think there no problem with USCIS, however In my case I wanted to give the impression that I invested on this process to get a swift approval also looks profesional. 

 

I hope this help

We're still deciding which one is the most convenient for us
