Obetz · Columbus Metro

Why this Translation Services page is written for Obetz

Columbus Metro families regularly need certified English translations of foreign birth, marriage, divorce, school, and police records for USCIS, schools, employers, and licensing boards. Our Franklin County clients receive translations that match the original document layout closely, with the certification statement formatted exactly how reviewing officers expect it.

Obetz sits in Columbus Metro, driven by financial services, insurance, healthcare, and the new wave of tech investment around the Intel campus and the Columbus Region Logistics Council corridor. Franklin County, where Obetz is located, is a small Ohio city where most clients drive to the county seat for vital records and to a regional metro for federal appointments.

easy I-71 and Route 161 access keeps drive times short from anywhere inside the outerbelt. From Obetz (ZIP 43207), the trip is roughly 11 miles each way.

one of the largest Somali populations in the United States outside Minneapolis, with growing Bhutanese, Burmese, and Latino communities — and Obetz, with a population near 5,311, reflects that mix in its schools, workplaces, and houses of worship.

The 11-mile drive from Obetz (~20 min) is short enough that most clients prefer to drop off and pick up in person. We also serve families across the rest of Columbus Metro, where many of our Obetz clients have relatives, coworkers, and shared community ties.

Our Obetz clients commonly include families served by Hamilton Local Schools.

About Immigration Translation in Obetz

Obetz is in Franklin County. USCIS requires certified English translations of every foreign-language document in an immigration application. Missing or incomplete translations are a leading cause of Requests for Evidence and case delays. We prepare translations that meet USCIS standards — complete, signed, and ready to submit.

USCIS requires that every foreign-language document submitted with an immigration application be accompanied by a complete certified English translation. Missing, incomplete, or improperly certified translations are one of the most common causes of Requests for Evidence (RFE) and application delays.

Whether you are preparing a USCIS application, responding to an RFE, enrolling children in school, or submitting documents to an Ohio court or employer, we provide certified translations with the signed certification statement that agencies require.

Immigration Translation FAQ

Which USCIS applications require certified translations?

Any USCIS form that includes foreign-language supporting documents requires certified translations: I-130 family petitions, I-485 adjustment of status, N-400 naturalization, I-765 work permits, I-131 travel documents, I-589 asylum, I-864 affidavit of support, and others. Every foreign-language document in the packet — birth certificate, marriage certificate, police certificate, passport — must be translated.

I received an RFE asking for a certified translation — what do I do?

If USCIS sends a Request for Evidence asking for a certified translation, you need to provide a complete translation and respond by the RFE deadline. Bring the RFE notice and the original document to our office and we will prepare the translation promptly.

Can you translate immigration documents same-day for Obetz residents?

For short documents (1–2 pages), same-day immigration translation is often available. Full application packets with multiple documents typically take 2–3 business days. Call our Columbus office to schedule.

Does a USCIS certified translation need to be notarized?

USCIS does not require translations to be notarized. The translator's signed certification statement is the required element. Some foreign consulates and state courts have different requirements.

Can you also prepare USCIS immigration forms in addition to the translations?

Yes. Asal Multi Services prepares USCIS immigration forms (I-130, I-485, N-400, I-765, and others) in addition to certified translations. We can handle your complete application packet in Obetz.

How do I know which of my documents need certified translations?

Any document that is not in English and is included in your USCIS application packet needs a certified translation. USCIS instructions and form checklists list the required supporting documents — we can review your checklist with you at our Columbus office.
