📄 How to Avoid Delays in USCIS with Proper Translations

So, you’re ready to submit your immigration application after a virtual marriage—great! But before you hit “submit,” let’s talk about something that can make or break your case: translations.

Improper or uncertified translations are one of the most common reasons USCIS applications get delayed or rejected. The good news? It’s totally avoidable.

At Virtual Same Day Marriage, we’re an official partner for virtual marriage documents, and we specialize in certified translations that meet every USCIS requirement. We even offer a virtual marriage translation combo that includes everything you need—marriage certificate, certified translation, and optional apostille.

⛔ Common USCIS Translation Mistakes (And How to Avoid Them)

Many people make these common mistakes:

  • Submitting translations without a certification statement

  • Using Google Translate or a non-professional service

  • Leaving out critical sections like signatures or stamps

  • Formatting issues that don’t match USCIS expectations

At Virtual Same Day Marriage, every translation comes with a signed certificate, professional formatting, and USCIS-compliant language—so you never risk delays or RFEs.

💡 Why Proper Translation Is Critical for USCIS

USCIS requires that all non-English documents be translated in full by a qualified translator. That means:

  • No summaries

  • No partial translations

  • No DIY jobs

And if your document is from a virtual wedding? The scrutiny is even higher. That’s why our marriage + translation + apostille bundle is a popular choice for clients who want it done right the first time.
