New York is one of the most linguistically diverse states in the United States, with over 4.3 million foreign-born residents and approximately 30% of the state’s 19.9 million people speaking a language other than English at home. Residents across the state speak more than 800 languages, with Spanish (2.7 million speakers), Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese), Russian, Arabic, Korean, and Haitian Creole among the most common. This extraordinary diversity generates constant demand for certified translations — from immigration petitions filed at the USCIS NYC Field Office at 26 Federal Plaza to family court proceedings in Buffalo and academic credential evaluations at Columbia University.
New York is served by four USCIS field offices: the NYC Field Office and Queens Field Office (both at the Jacob K. Javits Federal Building, 26 Federal Plaza, New York, NY 10278), the Long Island Field Office in Holtsville, and the Buffalo Field Office at 306 Delaware Avenue, Buffalo, NY 14202. Whether you are filing Form I-130, I-485, I-751, N-400, or any other USCIS petition, every translation from Official Translations comes with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy compliant with 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3). Our translations are accepted at all four New York USCIS offices.
New York’s court system — including the New York Court of Appeals in Albany, the New York County Supreme Court at 60 Centre Street, Kings County Supreme Court (Brooklyn), and Queens County Supreme Court — regularly requires certified translations for vital records, contracts, and immigration filings. We also provide translations accepted by all four federal district courts: the Southern District (Manhattan), Eastern District (Brooklyn), Northern District (Albany), and Western District (Buffalo). Our translations meet the standards required by the New York State Bar Association for evidentiary submissions. New York’s leading universities — Columbia, NYU, Cornell, and the SUNY and CUNY systems — require certified English translations of foreign diplomas and academic transcripts for international student admissions and credential evaluation through agencies like WES and ECE.
