For the EB-2 NIW visa, academic documents such as transcripts and diplomas must be submitted in English or accompanied by official translations. A sworn translation is usually required to ensure the accuracy of the information.

If your education is in another language, provide precise translations recognized by qualified translators, avoiding errors that could harm the evaluation. It is essential to follow US immigration regulations and seek reliable services, avoiding miracle promises that may cause problems in the process.

Submitting the correct and complete documentation, as well as staying informed and cautious, is crucial for a solid and effective immigration process.
