✈️ How to Translate Marriage Documents for USCIS Consular Processing

If you’re applying for a green card through consular processing, one of the most overlooked—but critical—steps is translating your marriage certificate. And not just any translation will do. The USCIS has strict requirements, and if your translation doesn’t meet them, your application may get delayed—or worse, denied.

At Virtual Same Day Marriage, we make it easy. Our translation guaranteed for USCIS approval means one less thing to stress about. Oh, and did we mention? You can get certified translations without leaving home.

📜 Why Translation Accuracy Matters for USCIS

The U.S. government isn’t going to take your word for it. They need to understand exactly what’s on your marriage certificate, and that means certified translation—word-for-word and accurate.

We’ve seen clients get RFEs (Requests for Evidence) because of sloppy or uncertified translations. That’s why we offer USCIS-approved certified translations, fully compliant and fast.

  • The translator’s credentials and signature
