Translating Evidence for Form I-589 and Your Asylum Case

Your asylum claim rests on evidence: identity documents, police reports, medical reports, and letters from people who know what happened. Most of it is not in English, and both USCIS and the immigration court ask for a complete English translation of every foreign document, with the translator's certification.

Three things matter most for asylum evidence:

  • Handwritten letters and statements. Witness letters are often handwritten, and our translators work from them line by line, marking anything unreadable as illegible instead of guessing.
  • Deadlines. Form I-589 is generally due within one year of arrival, and court hearings set their own filing dates. Your translation can be ready in as little as 12 hours.
  • Full translations, not summaries. A summary can be set aside, so every page is translated in full.

You can reach a real person on live chat 24/7, whatever your time zone.
