If you are applying for an adjustment of status in the United States, a work permit, or are seeking some other type of immigration benefit, you could be issued an RFE—Request for Evidence, based on the documentation you submit to the USCIS. One of the leading reasons why immigrants and those seeking immigration benefits receive RFEs is because their forms are not fully translated, or they have recorded answers on their USCIS forms in another language.
If you are seeking assistance on your USCIS forms, it is a good idea to hire a translator that will be willing to sign off on your USCIS forms. This blog will be dedicated to reviewing some translation services that have been highly recommended, as well as what to look for in terms of pricing/service.
The Word Point

Our first review is for TheWordPoint.com. This service has handled USCIS applications before, and in general if you are looking for any translation service, you need to first make sure they are comfortable dealing with immigration paperwork and documentation.
Looking over the website and through some customer reviews, it seems that the service is highly prestigious and has no issues with failing to deliver on-time and accurate documents to clients. Immigration lawyers have cross checked USCIS documents translated by the service and have found no errors. The service works by filling out an online questionnaire based on an individuals needs, selecting the translation language, and other details about the project. From here, the team works internally to connect you with one of their own translators who is best equipped for the job. The organization mentions they are known for quick turnaround times. Rates start at $29.
Overall, hiring someone from the WordPoint means a lot of filling out information online, being familiar with dropdown menus, and going through the whole process digitally. Make sure you are comfortable with this type of service before starting.
The Spanish Group

Because the USCIS generally demands a certified translator, it means the rate per page of translation is going to be higher. The Spanish Group charges a rate of $30 per page in this category. While most USCIS documents are at least 10 pages long (some are less), you can see how translation services can get expensive quickly.
However, the Spanish Group is highly trusted for their expertise in legal/immigration affairs. You get a free quote for your documentation by simply copying and pasting a PDF of your USCIS document onto their site, while also filling in some other basic information.
The Spanish Group claims they only hire the top 1 percent of their field in terms of professional translators. They also have an expedited service, and can process an return translated documents within a few business days. All costs must be paid upfront for this service.
