Immigration filings from Bellevue
Bellevue falls under the USCIS Omaha Field Office at 1717 Avenue H, Omaha, NE 68110, which serves the entire state by appointment. Federal regulation 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) says each foreign-language document sent to USCIS needs a full English translation, certified by the translator as complete and accurate, plus the translator’s certification of competence. The federal trial court for the area sits at 111 South 18th Plaza in Omaha.
Bellevue University and foreign credentials
Bellevue University, at 1000 Galvin Road South, requires international applicants to submit an official evaluation of foreign credentials completed by an approved member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services. For required financial documents, its international admissions page says that if the documents are not in English, an official translation must be provided. Evaluation services generally work from English translations, so order the translation before you apply for the evaluation and confirm the evaluator’s own format rules.
Sarpy County courts and interpreters
Interpreters in the District Court and County Court in Papillion are provided through the Nebraska Supreme Court’s language access program. Under state statute, the judge fixes and orders payment of the interpreter’s fees. The program covers what is said in court. A document written in another language still needs a written English translation if you want the court to read it, and the judicial branch’s language access plan recommends certified translators for complex documents.
Sending a Bellevue document for a Nebraska apostille
The Nebraska Secretary of State in Lincoln issues all apostilles for the state. From Bellevue the usual route is mail: send the original document, the Apostille/Certificate of Authentication Request form and $10 per document to the Notary Division, PO Box 95104, Lincoln, NE 68509. Courier deliveries and walk-ins go to 1201 N Street, Suite 120, Lincoln, NE 68508. Mail requests are processed in 3 to 5 business days from receipt.
The office certifies signatures of Nebraska notaries and state or county officials. For a translation that must be apostilled, we hire a notary commissioned in Nebraska to notarize the translator’s statement. Nebraska law bars non-attorney notaries from giving immigration or legal advice and from calling themselves “notario publico”.
