Birth certificate of the applicant

If applicable, marriage, divorce, or death certificate(s) related to any previous or current relationships

Additional documents may be specifically required for French nationals by the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in France.
Translator Qualifications
Based on regulations from the U.S. Department of State, though there's no distinct requirement concerning translator certification, the translator must be proficient enough to accurately translate the document from French to English. Alongside the translation, there should be a statement signed by the translator attesting to the translation's accuracy and completeness, and their capability to translate from the original language to English.
Certification Requirements
According to the U.S. Department of State, translations should be paired with a statement from the translator or the translation agency. This statement must verify their competence in the source language (French) and English and confirm the accuracy of the translation. Considering France's adherence to international conventions, an apostille might be required to authenticate French documents for use in the U.S.
For the most accurate and updated information, individuals are advised to consult directly with the U.S. Embassy in France or experts in immigration.
