Where interviews and hearings take place in Orange County
- Los Angeles Asylum Office, 14101 Myford Rd, Tustin: asylum interviews for all of Southern California.
- USCIS Santa Ana Field Office: green card and citizenship interviews.
- Santa Ana Immigration Court.
- Orange County Superior Court: Mikhail works with it regularly.
From Mikhail's experience: The Tustin office opens to the public at 6:15 a.m., so by 6:00 the line is long. Arriving around 6:30–6:35 is still on time, and by then the line is almost gone. There is no cafeteria: bring food and leave it in the car. More about Tustin.
The exact address and time are always on your interview or hearing notice.
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 for clients in California
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, for USCIS, courts and other agencies.
Mikhail also travels across the United States. See cities and states.
