As required by federal regulations, all applications filed with USCIS must be properly completed, submitted, and executed   in accordance with the applicable form instructions. See 8 CFR 103.2(a)(1); 8 CFR 103.2(b)(1). 

Properly completed forms help ensure that we can verify the identity and eligibility of applicants, and will help reduce the need for us to issue Requests for Evidence because information is missing on applications.

If you submit any documents (copies or original documents, if requested) in a foreign language, you must include a full English translation along with a certification from the translator verifying that the translation is complete and accurate, and that they are competent to translate from the foreign language to English.
