    Dan translated two birth certificates and a marriage certificate for USCIS in five hours, and it was accepted by USCIS. Great service, great price, really fast turn-around time. I will recommend to anyone needing an experienced translator!

  2. Robert R. [Nob Hill] Post author

    “We had our employee handbook translated to Spanish and Portuguese in less than 24 hours, and we couldn’t be happier! Most of the other quotes we got took longer than 24 hours to get a return email. I liked that I could call and talk directly to an expert, which was not possible with other translation agencies.”

  3. Maria U. [Albuquerque NM] Post author

    “Amazingly fast turn-around time. Had my birth certificate translated for USICS and the National Visa Center, and Dan was able to get it done in two hours. Plus, he sent a certified USCIS e-copy via email and mailed hard copies to my house… it was really, really easy.” Maria U. — Albuquerque, NM
