How many months of statements do I need to translate?

Certified Translation

Bank Statement Translation for Immigration

Certified translation of foreign bank statements for affidavits of support, I-864, and financial proof.

USCIS Accepted

Submit your bank statements for certified translation

Upload, pay, and we begin immediately. USCIS-accepted, next business day.

Foreign bank statements appear in two very specific filings: I-864 Affidavit of Support (when proving income or assets above the poverty guideline) and B-1/B-2 visitor visa applications (proving ties to home country and ability to fund the trip).

We translate the bank's name, statement period, opening and closing balances, and every transaction line. Currency stays in the original — we don't convert to USD on the translation. Conversions are done by the consular officer or USCIS using the rate on the date of the relevant calculation.

What USCIS uses it for

I-864 Affidavit of Support assets, I-130 (intent-to-marry evidence in some K-1 filings), and consular B-visa applications proving non-immigrant intent.

What we translate

Personal checking and savings statements (12 months typical)
Time-deposit and certificate-of-deposit confirmations
Investment account statements (brokerage, mutual funds)
Bank reference letters confirming average balance

8 CFR §103.2(b)(3)

What USCIS requires for a foreign-language document

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.

Why these translations get rejected

Currency converted on the translation

Translate the amount as it appears. The officer applies the official Treasury rate; us doing it pre-converts to a rate that won't match.

Truncated transaction histories

If the statement spans multiple pages, all pages must be translated. Officers compare opening + transactions + closing for arithmetic consistency.

Frequently asked questions

I-864 typically requires the most recent 12 months. B-visa applications usually want 3–6 months. We can scope the order to exactly what your filing requires.
