Chinese journal article translation for EB-1A and NIW
Academic papers (论文 / 期刊文章) prove scholarly output — the EB-1A scholarly-articles criterion and NIW substantial merit. For Chinese papers, the title, abstract and author information are often enough; full-text scope is agreed first. 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.
