Certified translation for I-485 adjustment of status

The I-485 packet, translation-wise

The applicant's birth certificate in full inteiro teor is the core requirement. Marriage-based filings add the marriage certificate and any prior divorce records. Every Portuguese document in the packet needs its own complete certified translation under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3).

Where I-485 translations go wrong

Real denials have happened over this exact packet: one Brazilian couple filed a translation USCIS did not accept and had to refile the whole I-485 with new fees, a case we document in the RFE recovery guide. The usual defects are a missing certification page, a skipped back page, and names that do not match across documents.

Deadlines inside the process

If an RFE arrives, the response window is printed on the notice and commonly runs about 87 days. The corrected translation itself takes us 24 hours standard, or 4 hours with the rush.

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).
