How can you document that translation costs were handled professionally?

When submitting translated documents in an EB-2 NIW petition, you demonstrate that translations were handled professionally by combining financial records with the technical certification of the service. This reinforces the transparency and formality of your documentation.

On the cost side, keep proof of payment, invoices, or receipts showing that you hired a qualified translator or a specialized agency. On the quality side, attach the certification that accompanies the translation itself.

• Invoices and receipts identifying the professional or agency responsible for the work.
• A translation certificate attesting to the accuracy and completeness of the content.
• A certification letter stating that the translation is faithful to the original, signed and, where applicable, stamped.

Give preference to professionals with proven experience and recognized credentials, and keep all records organized and readily accessible. Because translation requirements can change, it is worth confirming the accepted format with USCIS or with a specialist before submitting your case.
