From Mikhail's experience: Street parking near the San Diego field office is hardly available, but there are ACE parking lots on every corner, with an early-bird discount. The line forms outside, security is on the first floor, and the waiting area is right off the elevator. More about the San Diego office.
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.
