How to prove that the translation costs were professionally incurred?

When preparing an immigration application, especially in cases involving the EB-2 NIW visa, it is essential to present documents translated professionally, as any inaccuracies in the translation can impair the understanding of the documents by American authorities.

To demonstrate that the translation costs were professionally incurred, it is ideal to keep and organize all proof of payment, such as receipts and invoices. These documents should contain details like the full name of the company or professional responsible, their credentials and qualifications, and a description of the services provided.

Additionally, it is very helpful to obtain a certification statement or an affidavit from the translator, in which they affirm that the translation is complete and faithful to the original. This document should be written in compliance with immigration authorities’ requirements and include the date, signature, and preferably contact information.

Another important point is to seek companies or professionals specialized in this type of service, who have a proven track record of translations for immigration processes. This way, you will have more assurance that all the material will comply with the required standards.

Always ensure that the service providers are reliable and avoid offers and marketing campaigns that promise miraculous results and simplified solutions, as these may hide risks and complicate the process. Strictly following immigration laws and opting for qualified service providers is a prudent strategy to avoid questions and delays in the review of your case.

This approach not only demonstrates a commitment to the legal procedures but also contributes to the credibility of your petition before the United States authorities.
