How do you show that the translation and certification of your documents were done by qualified professionals for EB-2 NIW?

When preparing documentation for EB-2 NIW, what matters is not how much you paid for the translation but demonstrating that it was done with quality and by someone with the proper competence. An accurate and correctly certified translation avoids complications during review and strengthens the overall credibility of your document package.

To show the qualifications of the person who provided the service, it is useful to gather:

• The translators’ credentials, such as certificates, professional registrations, or membership in recognized translation associations.
• A formal certification statement signed by the translator or the agency, attesting to the accuracy and completeness of the work.
• Invoices or receipts identifying the party responsible for the service, which help establish the authorship of the translation.
• References or the agency’s track record in translations for immigration purposes, when available.

The key point is traceability and competence: it must be clear who translated the documents, with what qualifications, and under what commitment to accuracy. Because accepted practices may vary, confirm the current requirements with USCIS or a qualified professional before finalizing the service.
