The need for immigrants translation services has increased due to an increase in the total number of migrants into the US. Not only from Mexico and the South American countries, people migrate to the US from all over the world. The immigration process is now faster and easier compared to twenty or thirty years ago. In the US, immigrants and others who need citizenship have to provide some documents like birth certificates, marriage certificates and passports. These documents have to be in English and not in the native language of the applicants. If the documents are not in English then they must be translated and then submitted to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The translation must be done by a certified translator and hence, it is better to go for professional translation services where they translate the documents accurately and after the translation, they provide a certificate claiming the translation done to be correct and accurate.
How Long Should You wait to Get Citizenship?
The answer is that it depends on where the individuals lives in the US because some USCIS offices handle the application faster than other USCIS offices. Once the application is submitted to the USCIS, it can take up to 1 to 2 years or sometimes even longer than that. That waiting period also includes a notice and receipt from the USCIS. First is the biometrics appointment where the individuals have to place their finger on the fingerprint sensor and let the device scan the finger, then there will an interview and test at USCIS and last is the naturalization ceremony in which they ask the individuals to take the oath.
Individuals have the option of checking the status of their applications. Once the application is submitted to the USCIS, the individuals would receive a notice by mail soon. In that notice, a confirmation regarding your application would be mentioned saying that the USCIS has received the application successfully and there will also be a receipt number. With that receipt number the individuals can check the status of the application on the website.
Steps Involved in Getting Citizenship
For getting citizenship, multiple steps have to be completed. The first step is the application form. The individuals who are applying for citizenship have to fill out the N-400 form and submit it. This process alone takes nearly a year and can be faster or slower and it depends on the place where you are living in the US. The second step is biometrics and this will take place a month after you submit your application. When going for biometrics, the individuals are required to carry all the translated documents such birth certificate, marriage certifiable, passport, photos, etc. The third step involves interview and examination. Usually, both interview and examination will be on the same day so it is best to go prepared for English language skills and civics. In case you fail the test, a re-exam will be scheduled in the next 2 months. After completing all these successfully, next is the oath ceremony and this will mostly be on the same day if your application is approved.
