Quick Question

[Cerberus]

To all,

 

I have beeen out of the network for the past four weeks due to final tests, and a personal family matter. I hope to finish this week up and begin playing "catch-up" with the forum.

 

I'm begining the process of K-3 Visa. I have filled out all appropriate forms. However, it seems that Alice and myself have both heard the rumour that G-325A which is enclosed with I-130 needed to be in English and her native language. I know that her name is signed in her native alphabet. That was the only language change that I was aware of on this form.

 

I have used search engines in both CFL, VisaJourney and VisaPro. I have checked the links and resources for CFL, and still have any results to to answer my question. Can anyone confirm this bit of information that I heard? Is these some other location where bi-lingual forms need to be submitted?

 

I hate to say it....No, I don't! The federal government (e.g Consulate at Guangzhou, USACIS) has a nasty habit of changing their minds on any particular whim.

 

I'm ready to send the forms to Alice now for signature, and just don't want to have a screw-up occur. Thanks to all in in advance.

Cerberus:

 

 

When we filed our I-130 petition in September of 2004, all that was required to be completed in Chinese:

 

I-130 (question 20): Relative Address (spouse/fiancee) in native alphabet.

G-325A (second line of signature block): signature in native alphabet also.

 

The I-129f petition would be similar to the I-130 petition. We completed this for the K-3 but never filed it with the USCIS. I cannot remember the question number, but I know it was the Relative Address block also.

 

Though I am not certain, I do not believe the entire G-325A must be completed in Chinese also. Also, have not heard word of this on VisaJourney.com

 

One supporting document that I would include, but is not specified in the petition instructions, is a copy of your spouse's "Notary Certificate of Birth". You might receive a RFE without this. The USCIS has requested this document from some spouses/finacees of Asian countries. If you have this document include it. Your call on this.

Mark,

 

Thanks for the information, it is greatly appreciated. I also want to thank you for the information in regard to the Notary Certificate of Birth. When I was last in Chengdu, I took care of all notarizations, from Taxes to I-129 and 130. Cost me a pretty penny. However, the translator was one of the most sincere and attention detail civil servants I have ever met. He specifically brought your point up to us, and did that paperwork for us. Thanks for the "head's up."

 

Best of luck to your wife and yourself.
