Question about Certification of English Translation for Birth Certificate for I-485

[devonydan 5]

Hello,

 

For my wife's Latvian birth certificate that we are submitting with our I-485, she has an English word-for-word translation that was done by a licensed translator in Latvia.  The translator signed the document in front of a notary, her signature is notarized, and she certified that the translation is correct and stated her translator ID number and her knowledge of some law (Latvian? EU?) about incorrect translations.  I have attached an image of the translator's certification statement below (I redacted names of the translator and notary).  Will this translation certification work for the purposes of the I-485? 

 

I am a little concerned that the language used to certify correctness doesn't exactly match the USCIS language for certifying a translation.  E.g., it doesn't say "I certify that I am competent to translate from this language to English..." and doesn't follow the language found at this link: 

 

Thanks in advance!

Thank you, Shakespeare. 

 

So I take it you think the translation certification we have should be fine?

What is article No. 300 of the criminal law?  I doubt it's necessary, but for your peace of mind, maybe print out a copy of that article of law and attach it to the translation.  The English version of the law, of course 😀
