Question about letters

[jayhayman95 0]

My fiancée wants to know if the letters from family members that confirm our relationship have to be written in English for the USCIS to read or can her family use their native language when writing the letter?

they can write in their native language, but it should be translated. Does not need to be translated by a professional, but by someone not related to either of you who then writes an affidavit swearing they are fluent in both languages. The letters need the writers' ids as well.

Affidavits are not required to instructions page 2

 

NOTE: If you submit original documents when not required or requested by USCIS, your original documents may be immediately destroyed upon receipt.

All evidence submitted to the USCIS needs to be in English or accompanied by an English translation.

 

Proof of relationship is not required for petition approval.  Letters are very poor evidence anyway. Concentrate on better evidence.
