How do you prove that your EB-2 NIW petition translations were done professionally?

In the EB-2 NIW, it helps to reframe the question: the program does not evaluate how much you spent on translations, and cost is not a criterion. What truly matters is the quality and accuracy of the translation, so that the authorities can understand your documents without ambiguity.

To demonstrate that translations were done professionally, the strongest evidence is a certification statement from the translator, affirming that the translation is complete and faithful to the original, with a date, signature, and contact information. Pair it with:

• The translator’s or translation company’s credentials and qualifications.
• A description of the services provided, tied to each document.
• Receipts and invoices, useful for record-keeping and organization.

Prefer professionals with a proven track record in immigration cases and be cautious of offers that promise guaranteed outcomes. Since requirements may vary, it is worth checking the latest guidance from the USCIS or consulting a specialist.
