Understanding Document Support Services for Immigration Petitions

Document support services encompass a range of specialized tasks that prepare and verify the authenticity and equivalency of foreign academic and legal documents.

Key components of our document support services include:

• Academic Evaluations: We assess foreign diplomas and transcripts to determine their U.S. educational equivalency. This is crucial for petitions that require proof of advanced degrees or specialized training.

• Certified Translations: All documents submitted to USCIS must be translated accurately and certified. Our translations meet ATA standards and are accepted by immigration authorities.

• Institutional Equivalency Reports: Following AACRAO and NAFSA guidelines, these reports provide a detailed comparison of foreign institutions to U.S. educational standards.

What Is an Academic Evaluation and Why It Matters

An academic evaluation is a detailed analysis of foreign educational credentials to determine their equivalency in the U.S. education system. This evaluation is often a critical piece of evidence in immigration petitions, especially for employment-based visas.

The evaluation process includes:

• Verification of the authenticity of diplomas and transcripts.

• Assessment of the level, scope, and content of education.

• Comparison with U.S. degree standards based on AACRAO and NAFSA guidelines.

• Preparation of a comprehensive report that USCIS can rely on.

  
  

For example, an EB-2 NIW petition requires proof of an advanced degree or its equivalent. A properly prepared academic evaluation can clearly demonstrate that a foreign master’s degree is equivalent to a U.S. master’s degree, strengthening the petition.

Our evaluations are prepared with the utmost attention to detail, ensuring that every document is correctly interpreted and presented.

Behind the Scenes: Ensuring Quality Through Translation Audits and Reviews

Certified translations are more than just converting text from one language to another. They require accuracy, cultural understanding, and strict adherence to USCIS requirements. Our translation process includes multiple quality control steps:

• Initial Translation: Performed by certified translators with expertise in legal and academic terminology.

• Audit and Review: A second linguist reviews the translation for accuracy, consistency, and completeness.

• Certification: Each translation is accompanied by a signed certification statement attesting to its accuracy.

• Formatting: Documents are formatted to mirror the original, preserving official seals, signatures, and layout.

  
  

This rigorous process prevents common pitfalls such as mistranslations or missing information that can lead to RFEs or delays.

Our behind-the-scenes commitment to quality ensures that your clients’ diplomas, transcripts, and legal documents are USCIS-ready the first time.

Staying Updated: Immigration News Relevant to Document Evaluations

Immigration policies and USCIS standards evolve regularly. Staying informed about these changes is essential for preparing compliant documentation.

Recent updates include:

• Increased scrutiny on academic credentials: USCIS has tightened verification processes, making precise evaluations more critical.

• New guidelines for translations: Updated ATA standards emphasize certification wording and translator qualifications.

• Changes in RFE patterns: Understanding common reasons for RFEs related to documentation helps us preemptively address potential issues.

  
  

We monitor these developments closely and adjust our services accordingly. This proactive approach helps attorneys avoid surprises and ensures petitions are supported by the most current and accurate documentation.
