How travel works
Mikhail lives and works in Los Angeles and flies to other cities and states for interviews, depositions and hearings. Travel is arranged openly, step by step, and the client approves every cost before anything is booked.
- You call or email with the date, time and place. Mikhail confirms that he is available.
- He finds a flight and, only if one is needed, a hotel, and sends you a screenshot of the fare and schedule for approval.
- Once you approve, you pay for the airfare and hotel only. This is the only advance payment, and it secures the date for both sides: you know your interpreter will be there, and Mikhail knows the assignment is confirmed.
- He books the trip and sends you the confirmation, so you always know where things stand.
- He arrives, meets you before the interview or hearing, and goes in with you.
Mikhail always looks for ways to keep your costs down. If the interview or hearing doesn't start too early, he takes a red-eye flight and comes straight there, so no hotel is needed. If the date changes or the interview is canceled, the travel payment is not lost: it is credited toward the new date.
Remote interpreting
Depositions, attorney meetings, mediations, psychological evaluations and many hearings that allow it can be interpreted remotely: by video (Zoom, Webex, Microsoft Teams, WhatsApp video) or by phone. At USCIS interviews the interpreter must be there in person, so for those Mikhail comes to you.
Certified translation, nationwide
Written translation doesn't depend on where you live. Email scans or photos of your documents, and Mikhail translates them by hand from Russian or Ukrainian into English and sends back a certified translation prepared to USCIS requirements.
