Whether you are to file a relative petition for a family member – your parents, spouse or siblings, working on bringing your fiancée to the United States or apply for the U.S. citizenship for yourself, there is a list of the documents you are to present to the U.S. Immigration authorities along with the application and payment.
Since your (or people whom you are filing for) documents are not in English language, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) or the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will ask you for the translation of the documents from a foreign language into English. Furthermore, you will be asked not just for a translation, but for the certified translation for immigration purposes which has to meet the set forth by the immigration guidelines and requirements for translations for USCIS.
1. The translation shall be completed by a translation agency in the U.S, a member of the American Translator’s Association.
2. The translation shall be accompanied by the Affidavit of Accuracy, printed on a letterhead of the translation agency. The letterhead shall contain an address, phone and email contact of the company certifying the translation.
3. Finally, the translation shall be notarized. This means that the above said affidavit of accuracy shall be signed by a translator before Notary Public who notarize a linguist’s signature on the Affidavit of Accuracy.
Thus, the best way to ensure your translations for USCIS are done properly is to hire a reputable translation agency experienced with certified translations, familiar with immigration cases and procedures and requirements regarding translations for immigration purposes.
