Quality, Compliance and Peace of Mind
USCIS does not “approve” specific translation agencies in advance, but it does set clear rules on what must accompany foreign-language documents: a complete translation and a signed statement confirming its accuracy and the translator’s competence.
To safeguard your case, we:
Follow USCIS language closely in our certificate wording.
Ensure that translations are complete – no unexplained omissions or summaries.
Avoid ambiguous date formats by aligning with US standards where appropriate (e.g. writing out the month in full to prevent confusion).
Preserve important seals, notes and marginalia in the translation, clearly marking them as such.
Maintain a record of your translation and certificate for a reasonable period, so re-issues (e.g. extra copies for lawyers or embassies) are straightforward.
Frequently Asked Questions – USCIS Translation Services in the United Kingdom
Yes. USCIS focuses on whether the translation meets its formal requirements, not where the translator or applicant is based. We provide complete English translations with a signed certificate of accuracy, which is what USCIS requires for foreign-language documents.
No. USCIS does not use “sworn translator” status in the same way some European countries do. Instead, it requires a competent translator to provide a full translation and sign a statement confirming its accuracy and their qualifications. We provide this certificate with every USCIS translation, which is sufficient for US immigration authorities.
No. You should not translate and certify your own documents, even if you are fluent in English. USCIS expects an independent, competent translator to confirm the accuracy of the translation. Using a professional service helps avoid doubts about impartiality and reduces the risk of rejection or delay.
Yes. Alongside the secure PDF you receive by email, we can post printed, signed and stamped copies to any UK address, such as your home, your lawyer’s office or a document collection service. This is particularly helpful if your legal representative prefers hard-copy files for NVC submissions or consular appointments.
We are happy to cooperate with your lawyer. If they have a preferred certificate template or layout, share it when you request your quote. We will adapt our documents to align with their format while ensuring USCIS rules are still followed. If their template conflicts with official requirements, we will explain the difference and propose a compliant version.
Simply upload your documents using our secure form, tell us you need USCIS translation services in the United Kingdom, and provide your deadline. We will respond with a personalised quote, turnaround and next steps. Once approved and paid, we begin immediately.
