Green card and adjustment of status applications require certified translations of all foreign-language documents. We meet USCIS requirements for I-485 and I-130 petitions.
Certified Translation for Green Card and Adjustment of Status Applications
Permanent residency applications — whether filed as adjustment of status (Form I-485) or through consular processing — require certified translations of every foreign-language document in your packet. USCIS mandates that all translations include a signed certificate of accuracy from a competent translator. Official Translations provides USCIS-compliant certified translations accepted by immigration officers for green card petitions. Start your permanent residency translation order.
Common documents needed for green card applications include birth certificates, marriage certificates, divorce decrees, police clearance letters, court records, and financial documents. If you are also filing a K-1 or spousal visa petition, many of the same certified translations apply. For employment-based green cards, we translate employment contracts, educational credentials, and professional licenses. See our visa application translation page for nonimmigrant categories that may lead to permanent residency.
For family-based petitions processed through the National Visa Center (NVC), we translate civil documents for both the petitioner and the beneficiary. USCIS also requires certified translations for all USCIS filings, including supporting evidence and affidavits. We deliver certified translations within 24 hours, with same-day rush available.
