Frequently asked questions
Does USCIS accept translations made in Colombia?
USCIS asks for a full English translation of each foreign-language document, together with the translator's certification that they are competent in both languages and that the translation is accurate. The rule does not require the translation to be made in the United States. Always check your form instructions or the notice you received.
What do I need to get a quote?
Clear photos or PDFs of each document, complete and showing every side. The quote tool asks a few short questions about your procedure and gives you the quote.
How long does the translation take?
It depends on how many documents you have and whether you need an apostille. The delivery date appears in your quote.
Do I need an apostille?
It depends on the institution receiving the document and its instructions. If your procedure requires it, we can coordinate the apostille before Colombia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
How do I receive the translation?
You download the signed translation from your tracking link. If you need a printed copy, ask for it when you request your quote.
Semántico provides translation services, not immigration advice. For USCIS, 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) sets the federal translation baseline; form instructions and case-specific notices must also be checked.
