How to document that the costs of translations and certifications were professionally carried out?

When preparing your EB-2 NIW visa petition, it is essential that each step of the process is accompanied by documentation proving the professional execution of services, including the translations and certifications of documents. This helps demonstrate that you have strictly complied with the requirements set by the United States and that there are no doubts regarding the authenticity of your documents.

To certify the professional performance of translation services, it is important to keep all receipts related to these works. This may include detailed invoices, receipts, contracts, or statements issued by certified translators. In the case of sworn translation, for example, the statement signed by the translator containing their contact details and registration or certification number with competent authorities can be an essential document.

Make sure any attached statement clearly specifies that the translation is faithful to the original document and that the service was professionally performed. Additionally, it is advisable to keep electronic correspondence or other records demonstrating the hiring of services and the payment made. These items can serve as further proof that all stages were conducted by recognized professionals.

Whenever possible, also include information about the company responsible for the services, such as seals or accreditation certificates issued by regulatory entities, which may reinforce the reliability of the submitted documents.

Remember that strictly following United States immigration laws is crucial. Always seek specialized companies and professionals to perform these services and be alert to suspicious offers or promises of guaranteed outcomes. This precaution helps avoid scams and ensures that your process is based on information and documents that truly meet legal requirements.
