How to ensure that document translations were done professionally for EB-2 NIW?

In the EB-2 NIW, when it comes to document translation, the key factor is not the cost of the service but its quality and reliability. What matters in the evaluation is that translations are accurate, complete, and properly certified, not how much was paid for them.

To keep this part of the case well organized, it helps to gather:

• A statement from the translator certifying that the translation is complete and faithful to the original document.
• The credentials and qualifications of the person who performed the work, which strengthens credibility.
• The original document alongside the translation, to allow for verification.

Prioritize professionals with experience in translations for official proceedings and be cautious of services that offer no certification at all. Keeping everything organized and accessible helps avoid delays and misunderstandings throughout the process.

Since requirements may vary, it is worth reviewing the updated guidance from USCIS on document translation before filing your petition.
