USCIS certified translation

Documents required by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) must be submitted in English or with a certified translation. A certified translation is an accurate translation of a non-English document accompanied by a statement signed by a qualified translator confirming the accuracy and completeness of the translation. This type of translation is often required for immigration applications, visa applications, naturalization, work permits, adjustment of status, and more. When submitting these documents, ensure that each non-English document has a certified translation and that the complete translation and translation statement are provided as required by USCIS. Ensure that the translation is accurate to avoid any errors that could delay your application.
