How to demonstrate that the translation costs were properly incurred?

When preparing your documentation for an EB-2 NIW visa application, it is essential to prove that the translation costs were properly incurred, complying with the requirements of the US immigration authorities. This way, you demonstrate that the documents submitted are correctly translated and in accordance with translation rules, which increases the credibility of your case.

An effective way to evidence that translation costs were duly incurred is to keep the receipts and invoices issued by the company or professional responsible for the translation. These documents should contain clear information, such as the name of the translator or company, the amount charged for the service, the date of service, and a detailed description of the documents translated.

Additionally, if possible, include a certification letter signed by the translator, stating that they possess the necessary fluency in both languages and that the translation is faithful to the original document. It is also important to remember that translations must follow the standards defined by the US immigration authorities, emphasizing the necessity for every translator to have proven competence to perform this task.

When seeking translation services, make sure to contact specialized and reliable companies or professionals, avoiding dubious offers and campaigns with unfounded promises of results. Always verify if the company complies with immigration laws and established guidelines, as this can prevent future problems in the progress of your case.
