Question

I am a U.S. immigration lawyer. I’m writing to you because I have a client who needs to retrieve a Ukrainian Birth Certificate and a Russian Certificate of Marriage and Certificate of Divorce for the purpose of filing for U.S. immigration benefits. My client is currently present in the United States and cannot leave to retrieve these documents. I need copies of these documents and I will ultimately need the original documents shipped to my address in the United States.

The name of the Russian Marriage Certificate I need is: Свидетельство о заключении брака (Certificate of Marriage).

The name of the Russian Certificate of Divorce I need is: Свидетельство о расторженнии брака (Certificate of Divorce).

The name of the Ukrainian Birth Certificate I need is: Svidotstvo pro narodzhennya

Would you be able to help us with this? If yes, would you be able to provide the price and timeframe? Also, if you are able to help, would you be able to provide instructions on how to prepare any necessary powers or attorney with apostille and any other necessary materials? If you are unable to help with these matters, would you please provide me with the contact information of someone that could help?

Thank you very much for your time and assistance.

Answer

Sure, I can help to your client. I can obtain these certificates during approximately 4-6 weeks from day of receiving the power of attorney.

I need one power of attorney for Russia and separate power of attorney for Ukraine. Please provide me copy of his passport and his address and I will prepare these documents. He need to notarize it and put an apostille for each power of attorney.

Please also provide me copies of documents which I need to retrieve. If you do not have any copies in your possession, please give me information (names, places, dates, and etc).

If you need English translation, I can do it as well.

I will be glad to help you.
