THE SHORT ANSWER
What Does USCIS Require for a Certified Translation?
USCIS requires a complete English translation of every foreign-language document you submit, plus a signed certification from the translator stating that they are competent to translate from that language into English and that the translation is complete and accurate (8 CFR 103.2(b)(3)). Notarization is not required. Every Translation HelpDesk translation includes this signed certification.
That signed statement must come from a qualified human translator — AI tools cannot provide it. We deliver USCIS-compliant translations that are accepted the first time — guaranteed.
THE CHALLENGE
Why USCIS Rejects AI Translations
USCIS Form I-130, I-485, I-140, and dozens of other petitions require certified translations. The certification must include a signed statement attesting to the translator’s competence and the accuracy of the translation. No AI tool can sign this statement. Submitting without proper certification leads to Requests for Evidence (RFEs), delays, and denials.
