About the role

Verdacert provides USCIS-certified translations for immigration filings, court proceedings, university applications, and medical documentation, with a focus on native-speaker review and fast turnaround. We are looking for a Legal Chin (Hakha) Translator to join our network of reviewers, translating civil, legal, and academic documents between Chin (Hakha) and English for use in USCIS filings, court proceedings, and other official contexts.

What you'll do

Translate legal and civil documents (birth certificates, marriage records, court documents, affidavits, academic transcripts, and similar) between Chin (Hakha) and English
Review machine-generated draft translations for accuracy, completeness, and faithfulness to the source document
Prepare and sign certification statements attesting to the accuracy of each translation, consistent with 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3)
Preserve original document formatting and layout in the translated output
Apply correct, consistent transliteration of names and proper nouns, including matching spellings to immigration forms (such as I-130) when provided
Meet defined turnaround windows, including rush and same-day deadlines when assigned

What we're looking for

Native or near-native fluency in Chin (Hakha) and strong professional fluency in English
Demonstrated experience translating legal, civil, or immigration-related documents
Familiarity with Chin civil registry documents, court records, and standard document conventions from relevant jurisdictions
Strong attention to detail, particularly with names, dates, and numerical data
Ability to work within firm deadlines, including rush turnaround requests
Comfort reviewing and editing machine-generated draft translations rather than translating fully from scratch

Nice to have

Prior experience providing certified translations for USCIS, court, or academic submissions
Experience with asylum, humanitarian parole, or refugee resettlement case documentation
Familiarity with additional regional languages or dialects
