What goes wrong
Korean-specific pitfalls in WA.
Korean quirks that most commonly derail a Washington filing or session — caught at intake, not after the RFE arrives.
존댓말 (honorific) register shifts
A witness who shifts from 존댓말 to 반말 during testimony can be misread — our court-certified interpreters flag register changes on the record.
Basic certificate vs family-relations cert
USCIS sometimes asks for both 기본증명서 and 가족관계증명서 — we list which documents are typically required for each petition type.
Romanization of Korean names
Revised Romanization (Lee) vs McCune-Reischauer (Yi) split names across documents — we align to the current Korean passport spelling.
Corporate register in M&A testimony
Korean business register uses chaebol-specific titles (이사, 상무, 부사장) that translate inexactly — we add bracketed notes on the first occurrence.
