Why this practice

Built for the bar that your matter sets.

Built to the standard USCIS actually applies

Adjudicators check three things: the certification, the completeness, and the layout. We translate to that exact bar, so every packet reads the way an officer expects it to.

One case, one linguist

Immigration cases are filed in pieces over months. The same linguist stays on your file, so names, dates, and places are transliterated identically on every document you submit — first filing or follow-up.

Filing-ready without rework

Certificate, recipient formatting, and print-ready pagination are scoped in the same packet — nothing left to fix before you file.

What you get

Every packet, every time.

Each USCIS certified translation project ships as a complete deliverable — content, certification, and supporting evidence — packaged for the recipient who will actually open it.

USCIS-spec certification

A signed Certificate of Accuracy on letterhead, meeting USCIS translation requirements exactly.

Recipient-matched packet

Certificate and formatting aligned to the exact USCIS form, court or agency that will receive it — no rework, no surprises.

Layout fidelity for evidence

Seals, stamps, signatures, and embossing preserved in-position so adjudicators can match against originals.

100+ languages, both directions

Every major language plus regional dialects — into and out of English by native-speaking linguists.

Consistency across your case

Transliterated names, dates, and places locked across every document in your filing — same linguist, same terminology, even for documents you add later.

Same-day digital delivery

Signed, print-ready PDF packet delivered to your inbox and portal — ready to print and file on paper.

FAQ

Answers to what customers ask most.

The ones we hear most often, answered by our dispatch and project-management teams.

Can't find it here?

01What does USCIS require for a certified translation?

USCIS requires a complete English translation of any foreign-language document, accompanied by a signed certification that the translator is competent to translate and that the translation is accurate — the standard set by 8 CFR § 103.2(b)(3). Every packet we deliver includes exactly that certification, on letterhead, formatted for the office receiving it.

02Are your translations accepted by USCIS?

Yes. Every translation includes a signed Certificate of Accuracy meeting USCIS requirements. We have delivered certified translations for thousands of immigration filings.

03How fast can I get my immigration documents translated?

Standard turnaround is 24 hours for documents up to 3 pages. Rush service is available; single-page civil records (birth, marriage) are often completed within hours.

04Do you translate documents for asylum cases?

Yes. Personal statements, country-conditions evidence, police reports, medical records, and other supporting documents commonly submitted in asylum applications.

05How will I receive my certified translation?

As a signed, print-ready PDF packet delivered to your inbox and customer portal. USCIS accepts printed copies of certified translations, so you can print the packet and file it directly with your application.

06Will my certified translation be accepted on the first submission?

Yes. Every translation ships with a signed Certificate of Accuracy and is formatted for the exact USCIS office, court or agency receiving it — built to be accepted the first time.
