Translation question

Hi,

 

I'm filing my documents for NVC.

 

For the USCIS, my wife translated her own marriage certificate and USCIS accepted this. However, I heard that is this may not be possible for NVC - meaning we would have to pay for a translation.

 

However, only 3 of the pages really needed to be translated....the rest of the marriage booklet can be understood by a "legend" that translates each section of each page into English. This works in the way that the reader would look at the number of the section they want to read, then look at at that number's section in the legend and read its equivalent text in English. Its unnecessary and really expensive to get these pages translated - which are blank of any inputted information anyways (its for birth of children and death of family members events, which we have had none so far - but there is like 20 pages for this). 

 

For USCIS, I just compiled this text into the document and my wife verified the translation.

 

However, since I will probably use a translator, what is the best way to do this? Should the translate only translate the pages that really need translation, and then I attached the rest of the English compilation after the translation? Or should I ask the translator to insert the compilation into their certified translation? 

 

What works?

Do you mean that it is okay for us to translate it on our own?

If you are fluent in both languages and sign the attestation you can do it 

YMMV

i see you both lived in Europe so probably not an issue

 

it is more of an issue for the high fraud countries

 

 

you already did  and USCIS accepted it 

to anyone on here from a high fraud country,  this may not be acceptable / that is why i posted that / so others would understand that not all countries can do this
