Highlands Ranch's nearest immigration court is in Denver, about 14 miles away

Immigration courts provide interpreters at government expense for the hearing, to respondents and witnesses. Attorneys book us for the work around it: finding out what the respondent and each witness actually speak before the interpreter request is filed, preparing witnesses to testify through an interpreter, and reading declarations back. EOIR also lists the Aurora Immigration Court, about 17 miles away, inside a Department of Homeland Security detention facility.
For green card, marriage and naturalization interviews, USCIS's field office by ZIP code table assigns the ZIP codes around Highlands Ranch to the USCIS Denver Field Office at 12484 East Weaver Place, Centennial, CO 80111, about 7 miles away; the appointment notice names the office for each interview. USCIS does not provide the interpreter for a green card or marriage interview: an applicant who is not fluent in English brings one, who interprets word for word under oath (USCIS Policy Manual), and both sign Form G-1256 in front of the officer. With us, a two-hour interview in person is $220, plus $0.70 a mile of travel from the interpreter's location, confirmed before you pay. See interpreters for USCIS interviews.
What Colorado's courts provide, and what is left to the attorneys
Colorado's state courts assign and pay for language interpreters for all parties in interest (parties, victims, witnesses, and the parents, guardians or custodians of a minor party) during or ancillary to a court proceeding, at no cost to them. That includes communication with state-funded appointed counsel and in court-ordered programs such as family court facilitations and mediations. Request one through the Branch's online interpreter request form or the judicial district's interpreter office, preferably when the case is filed; a request for a trial must be made at least 30 days ahead. (Colorado Judicial Branch, Office of Language Access.) Sign language interpreters and CART captioners for court are provided by the Legal Communication Access Services program of the Colorado Division for the Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and DeafBlind.
The courts do not arrange or pay for interpreting for background information, investigation, trial preparation, witness interviews or client representation at a future proceeding, or for probation treatment services; prosecutors and parties' attorneys arrange interpreting for case preparation and communication outside court proceedings at their own expense, except for state-funded counsel appointed under Chief Justice Directives 04-04 and 04-05. That is where private bookings in Highlands Ranch come in. A three-hour deposition in person is $330, plus $0.70 a mile of travel: a 30-mile round trip adds $21, for $351. By video it is $240.

What an interpreter costs, worked out
These are the published rates multiplied out: $80 an hour by video or phone, $110 an hour in person, $0.70 a mile of travel.
| Booking | How it is worked out | Total |
|---|---|---|
| One-hour video or phone call | 1 hour × $80 | $80 |
| Two-hour video interview | 2 hours × $80 | $160 |
| Two-hour meeting in person, 20-mile round trip | 2 hours × $110 + 20 miles × $0.70 | $234 |

The quote confirms the interpreter, the exact travel figure and the total before you book; nothing is charged until you confirm.
How the travel charge works out
Travel is charged at $0.70 per mile from the interpreter's location, which means you can work it out rather than wait for a quote: a 20-mile round trip is $14, a 60-mile round trip is $42, a 150-mile round trip is $105. There is no separate call-out fee on top.
We will not pretend to know in advance where the interpreter will be coming from — that depends on the language, the date and the venue. What we do is confirm the interpreter and the exact travel figure before you book, so it is never a surprise on the invoice. Virtual assignments carry no travel charge at all, which is one reason most of what we do is virtual.
By video, by phone or in person
Virtual interpreting runs on Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams, or over the telephone. It is quicker to arrange, costs less and carries no travel charge, and it suits appointments, calls and most meetings.
In person is what venues with their own rules tend to expect, and the right choice when documents are being signed or several people are speaking at once. Tell us the platform, or the city and the venue, when you send the request.

- Virtual or in person: the platform, or the city and the venue.
- The setting and the subject matter.
- How many people need interpreting for.
- Any credential the venue requires of the interpreter. We confirm before you book whether we can staff it; the interpreter's name and credentials follow once the booking is paid.
