H-1B Company Documents Rejected? Why Your Indian Employer's GST Certificate & Registration Need Certified Translation (And the Fix)

H-1B Company Documents Rejected? Why Your Indian Employer's GST Certificate & Registration Need Certified Translation (And the Fix)

Monday morning. 9 AM. Your immigration lawyer calls. Your H-1B petition is almost ready — but USCIS has flagged a problem. Your Indian employer's GST certificate has Hindi text. The company registration certificate is in Marathi. The offer letter's company details are bilingual.

"We need certified English translations of all company documents," your lawyer says. "Without them, USCIS will issue an RFE — or worse, deny the petition."

Your H-1B start date is in 6 weeks. Your flight to San Francisco is booked. Your apartment in Sunnyvale is rented. Everything hangs on documents your Indian company issued in Hindi.


Why USCIS Rejects Indian Company Documents

  • GST Certificate Bilingual Trap: Indian GST certificates are bilingual — Hindi on one side, English on the other. But the Hindi portions (trade name, address, legal entity type) need translation for USCIS.
  • Company Registration in Regional Language: MCA-issued incorporation certificates or state-issued registrations are often in Hindi or the state language.
  • Offer Letter Company Details: The employer's company stamp, registered address, and GST number are often printed in Hindi on the offer letter.

Step-by-Step: Getting Your Company Documents Translated

  1. Gather company documents — GST certificate, incorporation certificate, offer letter, and any Hindi-language company details.
  2. Identify the source language — Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Gujarati, or other.
  3. Place your order online — select your language pair and upload your documents.
  4. Receive your certified translation — delivered with signed Certificate of Accuracy, ready for USCIS submission.
  5. Submit to your immigration lawyer — include both original documents and certified translations.

Affordable Pricing: Any Indian Language to English certified translation starts at just $6.99. English to Foreign Language starts at $10.99. No hidden fees.

Frequently Asked Questions

My GST certificate has English on one side — does the Hindi side need translation?
