What actually happens to your document
Matched by document, not just language
An acta de nacimiento goes to a Latin American civil-registry specialist; a hukou goes to a Chinese civil-status translator. Assignment follows the document type — that’s what the specializations below are for.
Translated with the layout preserved
The English version mirrors the original’s structure — tables, seals, stamps, marginal notes — so the person reviewing your file can compare the two page by page.
Independently reviewed, then certified
A second specialist re-checks names, dates, and numbers against the rest of your packet. Every order ships with a signed Certificate of Accuracy — the page USCIS actually reads first.
Natalia Vega
Senior Certified Translation Reviewer
Runs the final review on USCIS-bound packets: every name, date, and registry number gets checked against the other documents in the filing before anything ships. Most of her queue is Latin American civil-registry work — actas de nacimiento, marriage records, divorce decrees.

Michael Chen
Lead Immigration Document Translator
Works on Chinese civil-status documents — hukou booklets, marriage records, notarial certificates — in both Simplified and Traditional script. The problem he untangles most often: a romanized name that doesn't match the spelling in the client's passport.

Sarah Jenkins
Academic Credential Translation Specialist
Prepares academic packets for WES, ECE, and university admissions. Transcripts are rebuilt line by line against the original layout so evaluators can map each course and grade without guesswork; French, Russian, and Ukrainian records make up most of her work.

Elena Sokolova
Certified Legal & Official Documents Translator
Handles court and legalization paperwork from Russian, Ukrainian, and Polish: judgments, apostilled records, sworn statements. Writes the translator notes that explain Soviet-era stamps and renamed institutions — details a U.S. reviewer would otherwise have to guess at.

Mateo García
Senior Immigration Translation Specialist
Translates asylum, visa, and family-petition documents from Spanish, keeping the English layout close enough to the original that an officer can compare the two side by side. Flags missing pages and inconsistent copies before they become a problem in the filing.

RecentJun 2026country-specific-quirkMexicoWhen the Back of a Mexican Birth Certificate Isn't Blank
A client submitted a Mexican acta de nacimiento (birth certificate) for a USCIS filing and asked us to skip the second page as 'just the back.' The reverse side was not blank. It carried the issuing authorities — SEGOB, RENAPO, and CONAFREC — plus the state seal and two government validation QR codes. We translated both sides in full and delivered a complete certified copy for the client's USCIS filing.

RecentJun 2026embedded-non-textPeruWhen a Peruvian Medical Degree Carries Its Registration on the Back
A Peruvian Diploma de Título Profesional (Médico Cirujano) from Universidad Peruana Los Andes carried its legal weight on the reverse. The back held the university registration entry, the General Secretary's authentication, and a Regional Health Directorate registration stamp. We translated both sides into English and rendered every seal, stamp, and signature line, so nothing on the back was dropped. The certified Spanish-to-English translation was delivered for the client's USCIS filing.

RecentJun 2026credential-evaluationPeruWhen a Peruvian Transcript Lists Grades as Words, Not Numbers
A Peruvian Certificado de Estudios from Universidad Peruana Los Andes recorded every grade as a Spanish word — ONCE, DOCE, DIECIOCHO — on Peru's 0-to-20 vigesimal scale, with a Convalidado (validated-credit) column across two numbered sheets. We rendered each grade as the English word plus its numeral, explained the scale and the 11/20 pass mark, and kept both sheets complete. The certified Spanish-to-English translation was delivered for the client's USCIS filing.

May 2026Bilingual Source Document & Stamp OverlapChinaWhen a Chinese Birth Certificate Already Has English Field Labels
A Chinese Medical Certificate of Birth (出生医学证明) was translated for a USCIS submission. The form is bilingual — every label appears in Chinese AND English, but every value is in Chinese. We rendered each value into English while preserving the document's bilingual structure, described the round red hospital seal overlapping the issuing-authority block, and noted the seal's partial obscuring of the mother's residential street name. The certified translation was delivered for the USCIS packet.

RecentJun 2026embedded-non-textFranceWhen a Driving License Is Mostly Icons, Stamps, and Codes
A French driving license (permis de conduire) carried most of its content as non-text elements — vehicle-category icons, a photo, security stamps, and a machine-readable zone. A plain word-for-word translation would have dropped that meaning. We described each non-text element in brackets, translated the text inside the stamps, and reproduced the machine-readable zone exactly. The certified translation was delivered for the client's USCIS filing.

RecentJun 2026name-mismatchTurkeyWhen the Civil Register Records a Legal Name Change
A Turkish population registry record (nüfus kayıt örneği) was filed as a birth certificate for a USCIS case. The register recorded an official correction: the holder's given name had been legally changed by court order. We translated the correction in full — both the former and current name, the registry action, and the court reference. The certified translation was delivered for the applicant's USCIS packet.
