Applying for a green card? Every foreign-language document in your application needs a certified English translation. We translate them all — accurately, affordably, in 24 hours. prepared for USCIS purposes.
Whether you’re applying for a green card through family sponsorship, employment, the diversity lottery, or another pathway — if any of your supporting documents are in a language other than English, USCIS requires certified English translations.
This isn’t optional. It’s federal law under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3). Submit untranslated documents and your application stalls. Submit poorly translated documents and you risk a Request for Evidence (RFE) that adds 30-90 days to your timeline.

Every foreign-language document you submit to USCIS must be accompanied by a certified English translation. If a document is already in English, no translation is needed.
USCIS recommends professional translation. The translator should not be the applicant, petitioner, or a family member. Professional translation from an ATA corporate member significantly reduces RFE risk.
You can reuse translations from your I-130 filing. If USCIS needs additional documents for the I-485, translate only the new documents.
24 hours from approval of your quote. For multiple documents, we translate in parallel — 5 documents still takes 24 hours, not 5 days.
