What makes immigration translation different
An immigration proceeding is not the place for a linguistically competent but contextually wrong translation. USCIS officers, immigration judges, and asylum interviewers are trained to scrutinize certified translations. An error in a name, a date, a country of birth, or a document title can create a discrepancy that delays or derails a case.
Our immigration translators have worked with legal aid organizations, nonprofit immigration clinics, and private immigration practices. They understand the procedural stakes of each document they translate. They know the difference between a birth certificate that needs word-for-word rendering and a personal statement that needs culturally accurate translation of emotionally complex content.
Documents we certify
We certify and translate all immigration document types:
- Birth, marriage, divorce, and death certificates from all countries
- National identity documents and passports
- Police clearances and criminal background checks
- Military service records and discharge papers
- Financial documents: bank statements, tax records, employment letters
- Academic credentials: transcripts, diplomas, professional certificates
- Court records: judgments, convictions, protection orders
- Asylum support documents: country condition research, personal declarations
- Medical documentation for immigration health evaluations
USCIS compliance guarantee
Every certified translation from flowing-translations includes: a signed translator declaration confirming competence in both languages and the completeness of the translation; the translator's full name and contact information; and the certification date. We maintain a zero rejection rate with USCIS, EOIR courts, and US consular offices.
For DACA, TPS, U visa, VAWA, and asylum cases, we understand the additional sensitivity around the individuals these documents represent. Every translator on immigration cases has professional immigration context and is held to confidentiality standards above the statutory minimum.
