Certified Translation means that the language service provider (LSP) or translator who, for the record, does not necessarily need to be a native speaker or a certified translator, has submitted a signed document stating that the translation made is entirely true and accurately represents the original document. In the US, all documents to be submitted in the academic institutions or universities that are not written in the English language shall be translated and must qualify as a certified translation. Similarly, a certified translation is also required if you are processing documents such as marriage, birth, and death certificates, court transcripts, immigration documents, etc.

More than the certification itself, notarized translation is more concerned about following legal procedures. Essentially, both have the same methods; the only difference is that the translator will be required to sign the certification statement in front of a notary, which the government has authorized. Simply put, in notarized translation, the notary’s stamp and signature are all about notarizing the certification itself and not the translation.

A professional translator needs to see the document to provide an accurate price quote for translation services. There are several reasons for this. First, the length and complexity of the document can significantly affect the translation price. A short and straightforward document may be cheaper to translate than a longer and more technical one. Therefore, the translator needs to see the document in order to determine how much work will be required to complete the translation. Second, the document's content type can also affect the price quote. For example, legal or technical documents may require specialized knowledge or terminology that could affect the translation price. Therefore, the translator needs to see the document to assess the level of complexity and the amount of specialized knowledge required. Third, formatting and layout can also affect the price of the translation. Suppose the document includes graphics, tables, or other formatting elements. In that case, the translator may need to take additional time to ensure these elements are correctly translated and presented in the final document. Therefore, the translator needs to see the document to assess the formatting and layout requirements. Finally, the translator may need to consult with other experts or resources to translate specific terms or phrases in the document accurately. This could affect the price quote if additional research or consultation is required. In conclusion, a translator needs to see the document to provide an accurate price quote for translation services. The length, complexity, type of content, formatting, layout, and need for outside resources can all affect the price quote, and the translator needs to assess these factors to provide an accurate estimate for their services.

Hi! ✅️ For bookings: www.scglawandlanguage.com/book-online

A few years ago certified translations for USCIS had to be notarized. However, recently the rules have changed and for immigration purposes applicants are no longer required to submit a notarized translation. The non-English language documents have to be translated by a professional translator and be accompanied by his/her certification.

No. The better practice is not to notarize for a spouse or family member in order to preserve the integrity of the notarization and to prevent a challenge to the notarization. Source: American Association of Notaries

Foreign embassies or consulates, like the Brazilian Consulate, often require an apostille or notarial certificate for vital record certificates. The 1961 Hague Convention established the apostille as a form of authentication for its member states. In Florida, the Secretary of State is the only designated Competent Authority to issue apostilles in the State of Florida. You might need an Apostille of an official document issued by a governamental department in one country, to be able to use in another country. Ex: American issued Birth Certificate to be used in Brazil for getting your resident documents must be translated and apostilled.

I can help you with Immigration interpreting during your USCIS interviews. Get in touch with me to provide your with a quote, or schedule an appointment to receive help on how to fill out your forms. I speak Portuguese and English.

We provide by phone or in-person interpretation.

The interpreter's role during an immigration interview in the United States is to facilitate communication between the immigration applicant and the immigration officer, ensuring that the process takes place accurately and fairly despite language barriers. Here are some of the primary responsibilities of the interpreter during this situation: Translation: The interpreter translates the questions asked by the immigration officer into the applicant's native language and then translates the applicant's responses back into English, enabling a complete understanding by both parties. Neutrality: The interpreter must remain neutral and objective, faithfully conveying all information between the immigration officer and the applicant without adding personal interpretations. Accuracy: It's essential for the interpreter to accurately convey all words and nuances of questions and answers, ensuring that nothing is lost or distorted in translation. Confidentiality: The interpreter must treat all information discussed during the interview with confidentiality, following ethical and professional guidelines. Term Clarification: The interpreter may be asked to explain complex technical or legal terms to the applicant, ensuring they fully understand the questions. Communication Facilitation: If there's any misunderstanding or confusion, the interpreter may intervene to clarify and ensure both sides understand each other. Impartiality: The interpreter should not take sides or influence the applicant's responses. Their role is solely to facilitate communication. Professionalism: The interpreter should act professionally throughout the interview, respecting the timing and established protocols. It's important to note that in some immigration situations, interpreters must be certified or accredited to ensure they possess the necessary language and ethical skills to fulfill this critical role. Additionally, the presence of an interpreter in the interview may vary depending on the type of immigration process and the specific policy of the responsible agency. Contact us

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), is the government agency that oversees legal immigration to the United States. USCIS is primarily responsible for approving green cards, naturalization, work permits, travel permits, and other “immigration benefits.”

The only people who can represent you to USCIS are lawyers who are members of the state bar association, accredited representatives on the list kept by the Board of Immigration Appeals, and a few other people. Only lawyers and accredited representatives may charge a fee to help you. Check here some information about Immigration to the USA. I can help you to fill out the forms you will need to send to your lawyer and to USCIS. Schedule an appointment with me now, and let´s get your process started!

A “green card,” issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), provides proof of lawful permanent resident status, with authorization to live and work anywhere in the United States. Most green cards must be renewed every 10 years, but conditional green cards based on marriage or investment must be replaced after the first 2 years.

Anyone who already has a valid work visa (for example, an H-1B or L-1 visa) can usually continue working in the United States even while applying for a U.S. green card. Otherwise, green card applicants aren’t allowed to start working in the United States until they obtain a work permit by filing Form I-765.

A lawful permanent resident, also known as a “green card holder,” is a foreign national who is authorized to live and work anywhere in the United States, sponsor certain relatives for their own green cards, and ultimately apply for U.S. citizenship.

Federal law requires employers to verify the identity and employment authorization of new employees and to reverify employment authorization only in certain instances at a later date. Employers must use Form I-9 to do this. Your employer will ask you to complete Section 1. Please review the instructions and print clearly.

No. The three optional fields are: (1) Social Security Number, (2) E-mail Address, and (3) Telephone Number. If your employer uses E-Verify, you must provide your Social Security Number. If you provide your e-mail address and phone number, E-Verify will be able to give you important information regarding your E-Verify case.

No. Section 2 and Section 3 are completed by your employer or Authorized Representative.

Yes. Form I-9 is also available in Spanish for use in Puerto Rico. Outside Puerto Rico, the Spanish version can be used only to help employers and employees complete the English language form.

Yes. You may ask someone to help you complete the form. Common examples are where you need the form translated for you or need help writing in your information. The person who translates or completes the form for you must complete the “Preparer and/or Translator certification” on Form I-9. However, you personally must sign Section 1. SCG Law & Language can act as a Preparer or Interpreter to help filling out the Form I-9 for you. Schedule an appointment with us at www.scglawandlanguage.com/book-online.
