Serving Columbus, Franklin County
Who We Serve
The Sudanese community in Columbus has grown substantially, with many families who arrived as refugees fleeing decades of conflict and, more recently, the ongoing crisis that began in 2023. Sudanese immigration cases often involve significant documentation challenges due to destroyed or inaccessible civil registries. We understand this reality and help clients build the strongest possible documentation packages.
What We Help With in Columbus
We are a document preparation and translation service — not an attorney or embassy. We make sure every document in your packet is complete, accurate, and correctly formatted before you submit.
Certified Arabic to English Translation
We translate Sudanese birth certificates, marriage contracts (Aqd Zawaj), national ID cards (Hawiyya Wataniyya), and school certificates from Arabic into certified English.
Conflict-Affected Records Strategy
For clients from Darfur, Kordofan, Khartoum state, or other areas with destroyed registries, we help build alternative evidence packages with affidavits and secondary records.
Sudanese Passport Renewal Assistance
We help Sudanese nationals in Columbus organize documents for passport renewal at the Sudanese Embassy, including translated supporting records and photos.
Document Organization for USCIS Applications
We organize your complete document packet in the order USCIS requires, with cover letters explaining any missing or incomplete records.
Documents You Typically Need
Every case is different — but these are the documents most commonly required for sudan visa applications. We review your specific situation when you come in.

- 2Birth certificate from civil registry (we translate from Arabic)
- 3Marriage contract (Aqd Zawaj, Arabic, we translate)

Accessing Records From Conflict Zones
Conflict in Sudan — particularly in Darfur, Blue Nile, South Kordofan, and now Khartoum — has destroyed or made inaccessible many civil registry offices. Clients from these areas frequently cannot obtain birth certificates, marriage certificates, or ID documents through normal channels. We help these clients prepare alternative evidence packages that include sworn affidavits from family members, tribal leader letters, school records, religious records, and country condition documentation. USCIS and immigration courts accept these when properly prepared.
