• In the complex world of immigration, every detail
  matters. From filling out forms to providing
  supporting documentation, each step can have
  significant consequences for your case. One area
  where many people run into trouble is documents
  translation. While it may be tempting to save
  money by translating documents yourself, the
  risks far outweigh the benefits.
• Importance of Accuracy
• Legal documents, such as birth certificates,
  marriage certificates, and academic transcripts,
  must be translated accurately to avoid delays or
  denials in the immigration process.
  Mistranslation can lead to misunderstandings or
  misinterpretations that can negatively impact
  your case.
• Common Mistakes
• Even those who are fluent in both languages can
  make mistakes when translating legal documents.
  Nuances of language, legal terminology, and
  cultural references can be easily misunderstood
  or misrepresented. These mistakes can be costly
  and lead to delays or even denials in your
  immigration case.

  are accompanied by a signed statement from the
  translator or translation company certifying that
  the translation is accurate and complete to the
  best of their knowledge and abilities.
• Consequences of Self-Translated Documents

  several negative consequences, including
• Rejection of Documents Immigration authorities

  professionally translated, leading to delays in
  your case.

  in translation can lead to misunderstandings or
  misinterpretations that could harm your case.
