The Definitive Blueprint for Spanish-English Immigration Court Interpreting
Immigration law is one of the most technical, fast-paced, and high-stakes arenas in the entire legal system. From defensive asylum merits hearings to complex withholding of removal arguments, a single word can decide whether an individual is granted relief or ordered deported. For the professional interpreter, there is absolutely zero room for hesitation.
Developed under the rigorous training standards of The Interpreter Academy, The Spanish Immigration Interpreter is a comprehensive, bilingual parallel-text manual designed specifically to help working professionals and advanced students master the specialized vocabulary of the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
