Certified Translation for Business Immigration Evidence
eVerbary translates the company evidence in L-1 new office, E-2, EB-5 and EB-1C petitions and in RFE responses: statements from several banks, audited financial statements, tax returns, invoices, minutes, bylaws and share records. It works for business immigration firms and for foreign companies opening a US subsidiary, on projects of hundreds or thousands of pages delivered in dated batches, folder by folder. Professional human translators, never machine translation, with a signed certification for each block of exhibits.

Who these projects are for
Two kinds of client send us files like these:
- Business immigration firms preparing an L-1, E-2, EB-5 or EB-1C petition, or answering a Request for Evidence by the date on the notice, who need the foreign-language evidence translated while they are still assembling the rest of the file.
- Foreign companies opening a US subsidiary, branch or office, and the executives and investors behind them, gathering years of the company's records for their attorney.
The personal documents that travel with these filings (passports, birth and marriage certificates, degrees, experience letters) go in the same project and the same glossary. For the employee's side of a sponsorship file, see corporate immigration.
What the company's evidence has to show
| Filing | What the evidence shows, and what is usually in another language |
|---|---|
| L-1 new office | That the company abroad is doing business and owns or controls the new US office, that it can pay the transferee and fund the start-up, and how it is organized. Usually in another language: bank statements, financial statements, tax returns, share records, the organization chart, payroll, invoices and customer contracts. |
| E-2 treaty investor | Who owns the company and of what nationality, how much has been invested and where the money came from. Usually in another language: bylaws and share records, the bank statements that trace the funds, sale and loan contracts, tax returns. |
| EB-5 | The lawful source of the investor's money and the path it took to the investment. Usually in another language: years of bank statements and tax returns, sale and loan contracts, company financial statements and dividend resolutions. |
| EB-1C | The relationship between the companies abroad and in the US, the executive's or manager's role abroad, and that the US company has been doing business for at least a year. Usually in another language: organization charts, payroll, financial statements, minutes and share records. |
| RFE response | What the notice asks for, by the date printed on it; on business petitions, often more of the same records. See translation for a Request for Evidence. |
This is a summary to plan the translation, not legal advice: which evidence goes into the file is your attorney's decision. We translate what is chosen, completely, with every stamp, seal and annotation.
The company documents in these files
Most of a business immigration file is the company's own paperwork, often for several years. Each of these has a page on what its translation has to show:
- Bank statements from each of the company's banks, every transaction line included
- Audited financial statements and the auditor's report on them
- Tax returns and tax registration records
- Invoices and purchase orders that show the company trading
- Minutes and resolutions of the board and the shareholders, the bylaws and the formation deed
- Share certificates and the share register, and the organization chart
- Contracts with customers, suppliers and landlords, and payroll
- Business licenses and permits, and memberships of chambers of commerce
Amounts stay in the original currency, and legal forms stay as the document gives them: an S.A. de C.V. is not turned into an Inc.
Two projects, without the client names
An L-1 package of about 2,000 pages, 2021. A Mexican company's evidence, sent through its immigration attorneys: 22 categories of evidence, including statements from five banks. The company uploaded documents as it gathered them, and each folder was translated and delivered as it came in, from July 16 to August 17, 2021, so the first exhibits were ready while the company was still gathering the rest.
113 pages of Arabic overnight, November 2026. Received one day and delivered the next.
How a large project runs
On a file this size, what goes wrong is rarely a single page; it is consistency and dates. Every project is set up the same way:
- A shared folder laid out like the attorney's checklist. One folder per category of evidence, in the checklist's order, so each translation lands next to its original and nobody has to re-sort a thousand PDFs.
- A progress log. Every document with its page count, its status and its delivery date, so at any moment you can see what is delivered, what is in progress and what has not arrived yet.
- One glossary for the whole project. The names of the people, the company and its subsidiaries, the banks, and the tax and corporate terms are settled once and used on every page, by every translator. Where two originals disagree, we flag it instead of choosing.
- Tables don't change the dates. Bank statements, financial statements and other pages full of tables or complex layouts are delivered on the same schedule as plain text.
- One certification per block of exhibits. Each block is delivered with a signed certificate of translation accuracy that lists the documents it covers and meets 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3).
- Partial deliveries, dated in the quote. The quote lists each batch and the date it will be delivered, so the filing can be planned around them.
Project price and delivery dates
| Projects of 100 pages or more | |
|---|---|
| Per page | $20 per page, the 20% rate, on a project of 100 pages or more, from the first order. The volume discount on steady monthly work is measured on the previous month; a project does not have to wait for it. List price: $24.95. |
| Priority delivery | Included. Expedited delivery (normally +$4.99 per page) is on the quote as its own line, at no charge. |
| Delivery dates | Each batch has its delivery date in the quote, set from the page count, the languages and when the documents arrive. |
| Certification | Included: a signed certification for each block of exhibits, listing the documents it covers. |
| Notarization | $34.90 per order, only where a recipient asks for it. USCIS does not. |
| Invoicing | Card, PayPal, check or wire transfer; net 30 for orders placed on account; your client's name and file number on every invoice. Invoicing and payment. |
For example, a 500-page package comes to 500 × $20 = $10,000, with priority delivery included (500 × $4.99 = $2,495 at the normal price).

Frequently asked questions
How fast do you answer a project quote?
In under an hour, from 8 AM to 11 PM Eastern, with a project price and a delivery plan that lists every batch and its date.
How large a project can you take on?
Hundreds or thousands of pages: one L-1 package ran to about 2,000. Rather than a number of pages per day, the quote sets out each batch and its delivery date, and you approve those dates before the work starts.
Do tables and complex layouts take longer?
No. Bank statements, financial statements and other pages full of tables or complex layouts are delivered on the same schedule as plain text.
Can you start before the company has sent everything?
Yes, and on large files that is the usual way. The company uploads documents as it gathers them, each folder is translated as it arrives, and each batch is delivered with its own certification. On the 2,000-page L-1 package, deliveries ran from July 16 to August 17, 2021.
How do you keep names and terms the same across thousands of pages?
With one glossary per project: the people, the company and its subsidiaries, the banks, and the tax and corporate terms are settled once and used on every page, by every translator. Where two originals disagree, we flag it instead of choosing one.
Can one certification cover a block of exhibits?
Yes. Each block is delivered with a signed certificate of translation accuracy that lists the documents it covers and meets 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3).
Do you convert amounts into US dollars?
No. Figures stay in the currency of the original, with the period and the dates beside them, so whoever needs a conversion can apply the right rate for the right date.
Do you translate S.A. de C.V. as Inc.?
No. A company's legal form is kept as the document gives it, and explained where a reader needs help. An S.A. de C.V. is not an Inc., and saying it is would be a statement about foreign corporate law.
Do you tell us which documents to file?
No. Which evidence goes into a petition or an RFE response is the attorney's decision. We translate what is chosen, completely, and point out what we notice on the way, such as a missing page or two documents that disagree.
What does a large project cost?
$20 per page for a project of 100 pages or more, from the first order, with priority delivery (normally +$4.99 per page) included. The list price is $24.95 per page, certification included.
Can the invoice show our client and file number?
Yes. Each order carries your client's name and your file or matter number, and both are printed on the invoice. Orders placed on account are on net 30 terms.
Which languages do you translate?
More than 60 into English, at the same price per page, including Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese, Russian, Korean and Vietnamese.
Where are the documents kept?
In the United States (Google Cloud). Only the eVerbary staff on the project and the translators assigned to its documents can open them, and translators work under confidentiality terms. See security.
