Queria hacerte una pregunta referente a Oscar
Help please, I need an exact Spanish to English translation of the following paragraph.
Queria hacerte una pregunta referente a Oscar, mira los Jueces estaran llegando los primeros dias de marzo, y esto va demorar, tenemos que seguir todos los pasos necesarios. Tu Crees que hasta el 16 de marzo cuando le den la respuesta a Oscar bde su ciudadania el viaje de inmediato, cuanto le falta para terminar la escuela en la que esta inscrito, ya eh invertido bastante tiempo y dinero pagándole a los abogados.
Thank you and best regards for any help

Thank you Heidita and Maria, Now, I understand what my friend was trying to ask me. When I got the machine translations it came out something like, "The judges are watching" and something about travel, but I did not comprehend who or what. I am relieved, now I can properly respond. All of you have been a tremendous help, mil gracias!!!

At this point, I cannot decode the meaning.
The author is from Peru and unfortunately, does not speak English and we must rely on machines to write each other. I know that the topic is a legal matter, but I cannot answer her question, which is of importance, unless I can understand completely what she needs my assistance on. I appreciate your help Lazerus.
I want to ask you a question about Oscar, look, the judges are coming de first days in March and this will delay; we have to take all necesary steps. Do you think that Oscar, when he answer about his citizen ship around March 16th; will he have to travel imediatly? Even thought his schooling is not finish. I have invested a lot of time and money paying the lawyers.
Hopefully, I understood your letter. But, the letter is asking if the student has to interrupt his studies, when his citizen ship certificated is grandted.
This is true. I directed Debi to ask her question here. it is not a too long paragraph.

I wanted to ask a question about Oscar. Look, the judges will arrive the first days of March. This will take some time. We have to take all necessary steps. Do you think oscar, when they give him the answer about the citizenship, he will travel immediately? How long will it take him to finish school? I have invested too much time and spent too much money on lawyers.

After "Tu crees" there are several combinations with different meanings whether you use accents or not, and none of them seem to make sense. At this point, I cannot decode the meaning. The whole text is below the minimum standard.
Thank you lazarus, I posted the paragraph at Heidita's suggestion. I normally use one of the machine translations, but when I could not interpret this and because it is important, I tried to find another source, and found this site. I attended a 3 week course in Madrid for travel, but trying to translate this is far beyond my ability and I apologize if I have misused this site by asking for help.

Thanks MJ, but I have already tried Goole, Babel and the site you mentioned. None of them give a proper and exact translation of the paragraph and for me to answer the question, I need to understand exactly what the writer is asking. I can read some basic Spanish, but the machine translators cannot be relied upon in this instance. I appreciate you taking the time and trying to help me.
Yes, this is a learning site, not a free translation one. We encourage (and support) people to learn, and we provide corrections, explanations and alternatives, but doing the whole translation for you defeats the purpose of this site.
