Hi everyone... I have just received the final instructions link from the embassy after paying my fee and sending in all required documents. My Fiancee has also completed medical... everything was supposed to be in place as far as I was concerned and then upon reading the final instructions i get this excerpt from their web page:
"Translations: All documents not in English must be accompanied by certified English translations. The translation must include a statement signed by the translator that state that the translation is accurate, and sworn to before a Notary Public."
everything I had read before simply said certified translations required in english for all documents in other languages... I had her birth cert translated in the US by a reputable company, her polish police certificate translated in Poland by a translator registered with the ministry of justice in poland, and I am just sending off her police cert from Italy when I encountered the above quote!!!!! I am about to explode!!!! these translations arent cheap by any means... around $100 us except for the one I had done in Poland..... Now it seems I may have to do this all over again! My issue being that they werent seemingly sworn to by a notary public!
can anyone tell me their experiences with translations and the US embassy in London???????
Thank you in advance

thanks a lot... It wasnt completely smooth, but it was successful! The interviewer gave her a hard time about the tourist visa she was denied in January to see me and her sister.... He had an attitude the whole time.... however she was never asked for tax returns or financial evidence aside from the I 134 itself... anyhow, we are soooo happy that she got approved... We are coming back to the states together on November 29th, after visiting her family fin poland for a couple weeks..... I cant believe it, and I cant wait!!!

My Polish Fiancee applied 8 months ago for tourist visa to the US... at that time she was solely intending to visit her sister who is a doctor in New york for 2 weeks and to come visit me which wasnt even mentioned in her application and so wasnt an issue to the CO... She has been in London for 6 years and has a GREAT job she has held for over 2 years.... She has no strong family ties here in London because they are in Poland , and owns no property....but at the time had every intention of returning... she had a detailed letter from her work that stated her income and that they fully believed that she would return.... she had a letter from her sister stating her intentions to stay for 2 weeks with her in her flat in new york and that she would pay for her return home if money became an issue... so basically I am saying she was fully prepared for the interview and felt the same way as your friend...meaning that she was sure that she had no issues..... so when she went to her interview the officer asked her a couple questions and cut her off within 3 minutes into the interview by saying your application has been denied.... you do not have strong enough ties to this country or Poland and I do not believe you intend to return..... That was that.... I believe like the person above said, that if she is young there is way to big of a chance of her finding a US citizen to marry and never returning.... not that they think she is, but rather that it is extremely possible... I contacted Lawyers and did research and all that I found was that this is what you should expect as a polish citizen.... there is ongoing efforts in the states to get Poland into the Visa Waiver program, but it is far from happening....
I hate to say it, but I do not believe your friend is going to be accepted the second time around..... especially if nothing has changed..... one lawyer I spoke to stated that she shouldnt even try again for at least a year.... So basically I came here to London instead and 5 months later we applied for a Fiance visa after we decided to get married..... even this process takes a long time..... sorry to hear this happened... I know the frustration is huge, and she must be pretty pissed and disappointed...... good luck though.... I did hear that the us embassy in warsaw is the best bet!
