You've got the USCIS form in front of you and every blank on it feels like a chance to get something wrong. A name spelled the way it appears on one document but not another. A date in the wrong format. A birth certificate translated by a cousin who speaks good English but has never seen what USCIS actually requires. Any one of those can send your packet back to you, and the months you lose waiting are months you don't get back.
Arrow Language Services helps Utah Valley families get their immigration paperwork filled out accurately and their documents translated properly. Pablo Silveira has spent 17 years in language services and is a court-certified interpreter in Utah, Colorado, Nevada, and Minnesota, with more than 5,000 hours of interpreting behind him. He's also a notary public. Here's what that means in practice: he types your forms exactly as you tell him, translates your supporting documents, and notarizes what needs a notary. He is not an attorney and does not give legal advice, so he won't tell you which form to file or predict how your case will go. His job is making sure the words on the page say what you meant them to say, in the language and format USCIS needs to read them.
Careful paperwork, accurate translation, and straight answers about what we can and can't do for you, so nothing about your filing catches you by surprise.
Naturalization, permanent residency, and DACA filings all run on long forms that ask the same information in slightly different ways, and USCIS is unforgiving about inconsistencies between them. We sit down with you and your documents and fill the forms in with you, in Spanish or English, checking that names, dates, addresses, and entry history match what your paperwork actually says. You review every page before anything is printed.
You decide which petition you're filing and you submit it yourself. We don't choose your form, we don't sign anything on your behalf, and we don't file with USCIS for you, because none of that is work a non-attorney is allowed to do. If your situation raises a legal question, the honest answer is that you need an immigration attorney, and we'll say so rather than guess. What we handle is the part where the information has to be right, complete, and legible.
A green card renewal looks like it should be simple, and then you hit the questions about travel history, address history, and any name changes since your card was issued. We work through Form I-90 with you line by line, in the language you're most comfortable in, and make sure the details you enter line up with the documents you're attaching. If your name, address, or marital status has changed since your last filing, that's exactly where renewals get bounced, and it's where we spend the most time.
We also handle the supporting documents. If your marriage certificate, birth certificate, or court order is in Spanish or another language, USCIS needs a complete written translation with a signed certificate of accuracy attached, and we produce both. Renewal filings tend to be the ones people put off until the deadline is close, so if your card is expiring soon, call and say that when you reach out.
If you received a two-year conditional green card through marriage, you have a narrow window to file for removal of conditions, and this filing carries more supporting evidence than any of the others. Joint bank statements, leases, utility bills, insurance policies, photographs, affidavits from people who know you both. We help you assemble the packet, fill out the form with the information you provide, and translate any document that isn't already in English.
The paperwork burden is the reason people get stuck here, and it's a bad place to get stuck, because the filing window is tied to your card's expiration date rather than to when you get around to it. We'll tell you plainly what a complete packet looks like based on what USCIS asks for on the form and in its instructions. What counts as strong evidence for your specific marriage is a legal judgment, and that belongs with an attorney, not with us.
USCIS requires that any document in a foreign language be submitted with a full English translation, plus a signed statement from the translator certifying the translation is complete and accurate. Birth certificates, marriage and divorce records, police certificates, academic transcripts, court documents, and vehicle and property titles all fall under this rule. We produce the translation and the certificate of accuracy together, formatted the way USCIS expects to receive them.
Pablo is a court-certified interpreter, which means the same standard of accuracy that holds up in a Utah courtroom is the standard applied to your documents. He's also a notary public, so if something in your packet needs notarizing, that happens in the same appointment instead of sending you across town for a second one. Translation and notarization are separate services from form preparation, and you're welcome to use one without the other.
USCIS lets you bring an interpreter to your naturalization or adjustment-of-status interview, and who you bring matters more than people expect. A friend or family member who speaks both languages will still, under pressure, summarize, soften, or answer for you, and the officer is listening for exactly that. A professional interpreter says what you said, nothing added and nothing removed.
Pablo interprets for court hearings and depositions across four states, so a USCIS interview is well inside familiar territory. He's used to high-stakes rooms where a single mistranslated answer becomes part of the record. He interprets what's said and doesn't participate in the interview, doesn't coach you, and doesn't answer on your behalf. If you have an interview scheduled, reach out early, since dates fill up.
