Chinese employment verification letter translation
Employment verification and work-experience letters (在职证明 / 工作证明) confirm position, duties and dates of employment. They are among the most common employer documents in EB-1A, NIW and skilled-worker cases, so duties must be translated sentence by sentence — not summarized. At Smartlink Translation (zhityun.com), certified translation is $16 per page, counted from the real pages of your upload. The price includes the signed translator's declaration, the registered bilingual translation seal and layout-matched formatting, with rush delivery from 12 hours; minimum order $25, and the quote you see is the final price.

Common mistakes that trigger an RFE or rejection
Duties condensed into one line
Specific duties are the evidence; condensing them removes what the officer needs to evaluate the role.
Signer details dropped
Officers may verify a letter; the signer's name, title and contact details must survive translation.
