Certified translation for CR-1 visa and IR-1 spouse cases
Certified translation for CR-1 visa cases, and IR-1 cases the same way, is $19 a page with the signed certification, delivered within 24 hours. The spouse-visa process asks for translations at three separate stages.
I-130 petition stage
The marriage certificate proves the marriage, and prior-marriage endings need the divorce record. Brazilian certidões carry the regime de bens and averbações that must appear in the translation.
NVC civil documents stage
After approval, the NVC collects civil documents through CEAC: the beneficiary's birth certificate, police certificate, and marriage documents, each with a certified translation when not in English. Full detail on the NVC page.
Consulate and beyond
The interview file is the NVC file, so clean translations early prevent the classic delay: a document flagged at NVC review pushes your interview date back by weeks. Getting the set right once is the whole game.
Your translation is handled and signed personally by Ivy, a native Brazilian Portuguese speaker, and it comes with the signed Certificate of Accuracy USCIS requires under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3).
Common questions
Is IR-1 any different for translations?
No. CR-1 and IR-1 differ in how long you have been married, not in document requirements. The same translated set serves both.
My police certificate expires soon. Can you rush it?
Yes: the 4-hour rush at $9 a page exists exactly for validity windows like the Polícia Federal certificate.
