USCIS Certified Translation Services
The Code of Federal Regulations (8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) requires that any document submitted to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) agency be accompanied by a version in English that has been translated by a USCIS certified translator. Organizations, like law firms, that serve immigrants during this tedious and emotional process understand the importance of being diligent in choosing USCIS certified translation services to avoid delays or application rejections. With millions of backlogged applications and an already lengthy process, attention to detail and accuracy are paramount.
ASTA-USA Translation Services, Inc. has proudly served the legal community since 1987. We understand that certified immigration document translations are much more than converting words on birth certificates, adoption paperwork, medical records, or academic degrees, from one language to another. They represent a stringent level of precision and authenticity that is imperative to helping immigrants successfully navigate the USCIS immigration process and pursue their very own American Dream.

A Warning Regarding AI and Free Translation Tools for Immigration Translations
While AI and free translation tools are exciting in the realm of technology, they are still in their infancy in terms of their understanding of human language. They can be useful for casual purposes, such as ordering from a restaurant or asking for directions in a foreign land. Unfortunately, when they are used for critical purposes like immigration paperwork, problems often arise. These technologies do not meet the standards required by USCIS for certified translations and can lead to rejections of applications or other errors and omissions. To meet the standards required for immigration, a certified language translation service is imperative. Be sure to thoroughly vet any service before using them to provide immigration document translations for yourself or your clients.
