What USCIS requires from a foreign-language document
Submit a full English translation of every foreign-language document you send to USCIS. Include the translator’s written confirmation that the translation is complete and accurate and that they are competent to translate into English. See 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3): translation requirement.
USCIS family-petition instructions (Form I-130) ask for the translator’s name, signature, date and contact details. Check the instructions for your own form before submitting.
The certificate confirms the translation’s accuracy. It does not verify that the original document is genuine or guarantee approval of your application. If your receiving authority specifically asks for notarization or an apostille, share its instructions with us; these do not replace the translation certificate.
Employment evidence is specific to the petition
USCIS employment-petition instructions discuss employer letters and experience evidence in particular categories. The required content and purpose vary. A letter confirming past work, an offer of future employment and a reference letter are not automatically interchangeable.
Before ordering, identify the letter requested for your filing. A translation can communicate the supplied dates and duties, but it cannot determine whether the experience meets a category’s requirements or whether the writer is an appropriate person to provide the evidence.
Evidence context: USCIS employment-petition instructions (Form I-140).
Dates, positions and duties need precise wording
The translation covers the employee’s name, employer identity, job title, employment dates, duties and any stated working arrangements or hours. A sequence of positions should remain a sequence rather than being collapsed into one title. An issue date should not be mistaken for a start or end date.
Duties must match the employer’s letter
Duty descriptions should reflect the actual letter. Do not ask the translator to strengthen responsibilities, insert managerial authority or add technical tasks not in the source. If the employer’s letter is incomplete, obtain a revised source from the employer rather than treating translation as redrafting.
Company names, signatories and attachments
Keep the letterhead, address, contact details, signature block and stamp text visible. The signatory’s name and role identify who made the statement. If the letter refers to an attached schedule of work or positions that forms part of it, include that schedule in the upload.
Employer name changes and related companies
Where an employer changed its name or the employee worked for more than one related entity, the source wording matters. A translation should not merge distinct companies or infer a corporate relationship. Supply any explanation already present in the official letter.
Translation does not verify the employment claim
Translator certification concerns the English translation’s completeness and accuracy and the translator’s language competence. It does not confirm that the applicant worked for the employer, that a job existed or that the duties satisfy a USCIS category. USCIS assesses the petition evidence.
Submit the original-language record with the translation as the applicable instructions require. Keep the supplied signed source available. A translated letter without its source does not give the receiving authority the same evidence as a letter accompanied by its translation.
Common issues to check before ordering
Check for an omitted signature page, a cropped company address, ambiguous numeric dates and untranslated text inside a company stamp. If your current name differs from the employment record, flag that difference and provide a spelling reference.
Full letters and delivery estimates
Do not submit a customer-written English summary in place of the actual foreign-language letter. Send a clear full-page scan or PDF and any recipient requirements. Let us know the deadline when ordering; a delivery estimate is confirmed with the quote rather than assumed from the document title.

Customer Reviews of Express Translate
Employment Letters Translation: Questions Answered
Does the translation verify that I worked for the employer?
No. It translates the statement supplied by the employer. Verification of the underlying employment claim is separate.
Can you add duties missing from my experience letter?
No. Obtain an amended letter from the employer if additional source information is needed. Translation must not invent duties or experience.
Are an offer letter and an experience letter the same?
No. One may describe future employment and the other past work. Identify the actual document requested for your petition.
Should I include the letterhead and signature block?
Yes. They are part of the record, including the company details, signatory’s name and role, and readable stamp text.
Will different positions and dates remain separate?
Yes, when the source distinguishes them. Upload any continuation page or schedule so that the sequence is complete.
Can you decide whether my experience meets USCIS requirements?
No. Express Translate provides the translation and certification. Petition eligibility and the sufficiency of experience evidence are outside this service.
