Federal Compliance Policy & Warranty

100% USCIS Acceptance Guarantee & Compliance Charter

VerifyLingua guarantees that all certified translations meet or exceed the exact regulatory standards mandated by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the Department of State (DOS), and federal courts nationwide.

Our Ironclad Acceptance & Refund Pledge

If any certified translation produced by VerifyLingua is rejected, contested, or issued a Request for Evidence (RFE) by USCIS or any U.S. government authority due to translation accuracy, formatting non-compliance, or translator certification deficiency, we commit to:

100% Full Money-Back Refund

Immediate, full reimbursement to your original payment method upon submission of the official Form I-797E notice identifying a translation defect.

Priority Emergency Re-issuance

Free expedited re-translation, revised sworn affidavit, and senior ATA linguist re-certification dispatched in under 4 hours via our RFE Defense Shield.

Federal Immigration Standard: 8 CFR § 103.2(b)(3)

Federal regulations strictly define the requirements for foreign language documents submitted to immigration authorities:

“Any document containing foreign language submitted to USCIS shall be accompanied by a full English language translation which the translator has certified as complete and accurate, and by the translator's certification that he or she is competent to translate from the foreign language into English.”

- Title 8, Code of Federal Regulations § 103.2(b)(3)

Requirement 1

Completeness

Every seal, stamp, marginalia annotation, and watermarked seal is translated or noted with standard brackets (e.g. [Official Seal: Republic of Colombia]).

Requirement 2

Competence Affidavit

Each certified translation includes an explicit sworn affidavit specifying the translator's credentials, fluency, address, and ATA corporate membership.

Requirement 3

Layout Mirroring

Our engine preserves the exact spatial geometry, column structure, and tabular alignment of the original document so adjudicators can cross-reference with zero friction.

Service Tiers: Certified vs. Automated Machine Translations

Regulatory Disclaimers & Scope Limits

VerifyLingua is a professional language translation and document certification service. We are not an immigration law firm, an attorney, or a representative of the Department of Homeland Security or USCIS. Our guarantee strictly warrants that the translation document format, textual completeness, and certification affidavit comply with USCIS regulations under 8 CFR § 103.2(b)(3). Our guarantee does not warrant or influence the adjudication outcome of underlying visa petitions, asylum requests, naturalization applications, or adjustments of status, which remain subject to sole government officer discretion.
