Moving is an adventure. Migrating to a new country, the journey can get complex. People move to the United States for many reasons. Some come for school, some for work, while some move to be closer to their families. You may just be looking for a fresh start in the land of dreams!
The correct paperwork forms the foundation for a successful immigration journey. With so much to juggle during the immigration application process, don’t leave translating your important documents to chance—JR Language has a guaranteed acceptance rate for United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, also known as USCIS translations. If English isn’t your first language, our professional translation services can help. We are known for providing certified translations with translation accuracy for immigration purposes.
The Immigration Process and Translation Requirements
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is the government agency managing your immigration requests. You must be ready with complete translations of all your official and government documents. Also, submit any related supporting documents.
What is a Certified Translation?
It’s the translated document that comes with a signed and stamped certificate from the professional translator. This attests to the translator’s knowledge and expertise in the languages they work in. It provides an additional layer of security for the recipient.
Why Do I Need Professional Certified Translation Services?
Government agencies typically require certified translations for non-English documents. The office receives hundreds of thousands of documents a year. This makes translation accuracy crucial to expedite your paperwork.
Our official translations ensure that your documents meet the standards that USCIS requires. Without these, your paperwork might be delayed. You may get rejected. This is not a process you want to leave to chance or free translation tools. Professional certified translations are worth the investment.
Types of Immigration Visas and Your Translation Needs
Why are you coming to the United States? Your reason affects the type of visa you need. And the type of visa you apply for determines the document translations required by immigration services to accept your application.
Family-Based Visas
Already a US citizen? Or a permanent resident? With family visas, you can bring over other family members to the US. There are two categories:
- IR: immediate relative
- F: family preference
These require original documents such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, divorce certificates, or death certificates. All these need certified translations. Remember to include the original document when submitting certified translations to USCIS.
Work and Employment Visas
Many people come to the US for work. This visa type has a few subcategories:
- L-1 is for transferring within the same company to the US
- H-1B is for skilled workers moving to the US
- O-1 is for “individuals with extraordinary abilities”
Paperwork for these visas may ask for proof of degree, recommendation letters, or job contracts, all of which must be presented to immigration in English.
Student Visas
Moving to the United States for higher education? Your student visa could be
- F-1 Visa: For students who are enrolled in a full-time program at an university
- M-1 Visa: For those enrolled in a vocational program or technical school
- J-1 Visa: For students participating in exchange programs
These require previous academic transcripts, diplomas, and financial documents. We offer academic translations and complete a thorough translation process.
Investor and Entrepreneur Visas
For individuals looking to invest in the United States, documents include financial statements and business agreements translated into English. We offer translations for these and other supporting documents to meet USCIS standards.
Asylum and Humanitarian Visas
Humanitarian visas require extensive documentation. This may include legal affidavits, government reports, and other personal documents. Our professional linguists are experienced in translating sensitive and critical files.
Our translation company provides translations for any foreign language document you submit. We ensure an accurate translation, meeting the highest standards for approval.
What to Consider for Immigration Translation Services?
Government Compliance: USCIS and the National Visa Center
When migrating to the States, you must comply with the US government agencies. USCIS and the National Visa Center ask for certified translations of foreign language documents. The Department of State also has specific guidelines for visa applications and international adoptions. Document translation errors can cause delays or even denials during USCIS processing.
Legal Accuracy
Accuracy is paramount for immigration documents because a single error can change the entire meaning of a document. Birth certificates, police files, or vaccination records must all be completely accurate to be accepted. Providing certified translations of these documents for USCIS ensures compliance with their accuracy standards.
Clarity and Confidence
The immigration process can be stressful. Certified translations give you one less thing to worry about. Professional translations ensure your documents meet government standards. Our services guarantee USCIS acceptance, adhering to the specific requirements for non-English documents.
