Turning a Chat Into Evidence a Court or USCIS Can Read
Text messages are now common evidence in family court, criminal and civil cases, and USCIS marriage petitions. See what a Form I-130 marriage petition asks for as evidence. A screenshot in another language means nothing to the reader until it is translated in a way that keeps the conversation intact:
- Slang, abbreviations, and emojis are translated by their meaning, with a translator's note where a literal version would mislead.
- Voice note transcripts and images in the thread are marked so nothing looks missing.
- Sender and timestamp stay on every message, in the original order.
We translate chats from SMS, iMessage, WhatsApp, WeChat, Telegram, Viber, and social media direct messages, sent as screenshots or exported chat logs. A translation can be challenged in court, so each one comes with a signed certificate of accuracy.
