I wouldn't say you will get denied due to sending a untranslated foreign document. Either, they will accept it, or reject your application and send it back to you to correct.

Well like I said, I did send a copy of my current valid passport - so even if the BC is unacceptable, the passport should suffice right?

Yes, it should be. The required documents said that you just need one - passport or birth certificate, etc.

Bumping this bc I'm in the same boat as carnivore here. Sent a copy of my valid passport but sent an untranslated copy of my birth certificate. Wondering if any of the approvals did the same?

Not true. I called them you can do it yourself if your competent enough.

You will get an RFE most likely.

i called them to ask them if they needed the birth certificate to be notarized and they said it didnt need it to be, but since i work at a tax office i had the notary do it for me for free but i would HIGHLY recommend getting it notarized, you wont loose anything but like 30 50 bucks which i think is well worth it! good luck
