New York City is the second-largest USCIS jurisdiction by filing volume, and the most language-diverse — Spanish, Chinese, Bengali, Russian, Haitian Creole, Yiddish, Korean, Tagalog, Urdu, Arabic, French, and dozens more arrive in supporting documents every day.
We translate all of them remotely, with native translators across each language, delivered the next business day to applicants from any of the five boroughs, Westchester, Long Island, or Northern New Jersey.
The New York City immigrant community we serve
NYC has the largest Dominican, Bangladeshi, Chinese (mainland and Cantonese), Russian, and Haitian populations in the U.S., plus major Mexican, Ecuadorian, Filipino, Korean, and Pakistani communities. Brooklyn alone has more Russian-speaking households than most U.S. metros have foreign-born residents.

What USCIS expects from your New York City translation
- Full English translation
Every word, stamp, seal, and marginal note on the foreign document must be rendered into English — not summarized.
- Signed Certificate of Accuracy
The translator certifies, in writing, that the translation is complete and accurate and that they are competent to translate from the source language to English.
- Original visible alongside translation
USCIS expects the certified English translation to be submitted together with a legible copy of the original foreign-language document.
- Independent translator
The translator cannot be the applicant or beneficiary. Self-translations are routinely rejected, even when accurate.
