Documents collection DV2009

[jsalien24]

Hi all,

I am a DV2009 winner from Europe (casenumber EU23XXX)

I am currently collecting the documents for the Consular interview though have some questions which I hope you can help me with:

- I have like 4 middle names, on some official documents they are mentioned, others not and other only initials. Should this give problems on the interview as here in Europe middle names are not really important. I cannot go and ask for new documents for diplomas, police certificates...etc I suppose as long as first name and family name are correct, I should be ok. Can somebody confirm or has similar experience.
- As for Translations, it needs to be done by Certified translator BUT do the documents have to be legalized by the COURT ? I suppose not as the first letter only mentioned certified documents. What do they mean by certified ? I suppose that it just needs to be done by official translator, am I correct.
Do you also need to translate bank statements ? I suppose it is better to get as many documents in English language already, so we can save costs on translation.
- As for the European Embassies, does anybody know if they accept FRENCH documents, I mean is a translation necessary for eg PARIS Embassy. Maybe some people can tell about their interview in PARIS. Would be cool.
- Do you need to make the appointment with the doctor yourself or is it already confirmed in second letter which you may receive. Do you guys have any experience with list of French doctors, where best to go for medical.
I have lost my vaccination booklet, does this mean I need to get all the vaccinations again ? I hope not lol

Thanks for your help

hi jsalien24 ,

i think it will not be problem. they "people us embassy"kown that is some countries have such names.
for me

i write my name like this

1.name / father.name/ grandfather.name /sir.name

i have problem with grandfather.name i can wreite it in 2ways but to solve the problem you have to write in DS-230
in the 2.Q
2.OTHER NAMES USED OR ALIASES

*in the interwive you can cahnge it if they ask you and if you want

Thanks for the reply,

I was just wondering as on some documents there is my first name and family name, others they have eg my full name, other mention initials of middle name.

If first name and family name is OK I think they should not argue.

On the initial forms I filled in my middle names, but on the documents we need to collect eg diplomas, police certificates they dont automatically mention middle names ! It is not common in Europe so they dont always mention it.
