Who can translate Arabic documents for USCIS?

Individuals who were born in the Arab world and are currently completing a visa application for US immigration are often aware that they need to have their personal documents translated from Arabic to English. Who can translate such documents for USCIS? Professional translators who are fluent in both Arabic and English can translate birth certificates and other applicable documents for USCIS applications. USCIS requires foreign language documents to be translated by translators who are competent to translate from the source language to the target language.

I have a translation from my home country. Can I use that for USCIS?

USCIS has specific requirements for translations. For US immigration foreign language documents have to be translated and certified according to those requirements. Translations that are prepared abroad are usually not compliant with rules of USCIS. Translations that do not meet those guidelines are often rejected by USCIS.

Do I need to take my documents to the notary before translating?

You do not have to notarize your foreign language documents. You do not have to notarize the translation either. USCIS only requires a certified translation.
