Prism Linguistics provides Nuer interpreters for asylum and refugee cases, court hearings and medical appointments in Rialto and across the United States, and certified English translation of the UNHCR records and affidavits that stand in for South Sudanese civil records.
Nuer Interpreters in Rialto
Our Nuer interpreters in Rialto are professional, experienced linguists who work in asylum offices, immigration and state courts, hospitals and resettlement clinics, and who take a Nuer interpreting assignment knowing the speaker's home area before the hearing or appointment starts.
Nuer is not Dinka, and the booking should say which. A request for a South Sudanese interpreter can produce either. Nuer had around 1.7 million speakers on 2007 to 2017 figures, in Western, Central and Eastern dialect clusters that understand one another well enough for a hearing; we ask the home area anyway. Nuer refugees have been resettled here since the 1990s, with communities in Nebraska and Minnesota. Nebraska's courts reported in 2012 that Nuer was their third most requested language, with over 400 requests in a year and no certified or licensed Nuer interpreter in the state. No state runs a court certification exam in Nuer, so courts use a registered or otherwise qualified Nuer interpreter, and courts come to us for it. Federally funded hospitals must provide one at no cost; the men resettled two decades ago often manage in English, their parents and later-arriving relatives do not. At USCIS the Nuer interpreter renders each answer as given.
For an in-person assignment in Rialto we assign a Nuer interpreter based in or near the city. Telephone and video interpreting can usually be arranged the same day. We serve courts, attorneys, hospitals, USCIS applicants and private individuals; we are a private agency, not a court-appointed vendor, and we say so up front.
Nuer Court, Medical and USCIS Interpreters in Rialto
Prism Linguistics supplies experienced Nuer interpreters in Rialto for asylum and refugee interviews, immigration and state court hearings, depositions and hospital appointments, in person where a Nuer interpreter is based nearby and otherwise by phone or video, together with certified translation of the papers that travel with those cases.
Rialto lies in San Bernardino County and is served by the Superior Court of California, County of San Bernardino. California abolished its municipal courts in 1998, so one unified court hears everything from felonies to traffic infractions. Criminal matters from Rialto are heard at the San Bernardino Justice Center, while small claims, traffic infractions, limited landlord-tenant cases and probate go to the Fontana District courthouse serving Rialto and Bloomington. Courts and attorneys turn to Prism for rare languages other providers cannot supply, and for certified translation on USCIS and immigration filings.
Rialto Unified School District serves a largely Spanish-speaking English learner population, issues homework instructions in English and Spanish, and runs a Spanish-English dual language immersion program from kindergarten through ninth grade. Arrowhead Regional Medical Center, the county hospital in neighboring Colton, is another steady source of medical interpreting work. Prism's only office is in New York; a linguist based near Rialto is assigned for in-person work.

Nuer to English Translation Services in Rialto
Certified Nuer to English translation from Prism goes to USCIS, immigration judges and resettlement caseworkers. Our qualified Nuer translators work as often from UNHCR papers and affidavits as from certificates, and every translation is delivered in full with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy.
A Nuer adult rarely has a birth certificate. Most Nuer speakers in the United States were born in Greater Upper Nile, South Sudan, or Gambella, Ethiopia, before South Sudan existed and where no civil registry reached. South Sudan's Directorate of Civil Registry, Nationality, Passports and Immigration has issued certificates since the 2018 Civil Registry Act, which does not help someone born in 1985. What the family carries is a UNHCR registration document or ration card from a camp in Ethiopia or Kenya, a nationality certificate obtained after 2011, a kebele ID from Gambella, baptism records and affidavits, and the translation has to say what each paper is and who issued it. A Nuer name is a chain of given name, father's name and grandfather's name, and aid workers often recorded the first of January as a birthday; a Nuer translator who tidies either has changed the evidence. We reproduce every entry as printed and match the travel document.
Every certified Nuer translation is a complete, word-for-word rendering with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy, prepared to meet USCIS requirements. It is done from a clear scan, so a client in Rialto gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in the country. See certified Nuer translation for the document service in full.

About the Nuer Language
Nuer (Naath) is a Nilotic language spoken by around 2 million people, primarily in South Sudan and the western Ethiopian borderlands. The Nuer are the second-largest ethnic group in South Sudan after the Dinka. The US Nuer-speaking community is concentrated in cities that received South Sudanese refugee resettlement, Omaha, Des Moines, Minneapolis, and parts of Texas. Our Nuer translation work is overwhelmingly USCIS asylum and family-reunification paperwork, alongside the healthcare and school-enrolment documents tied to refugee resettlement.
Nuer Interpreting in Rialto: FAQs
Can you translate documents for a Nuer speaker who has no birth certificate?
Yes. We translate what the family holds: UNHCR papers and ration cards, a nationality certificate, kebele records, baptism records and affidavits, each with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy that states who issued it.
Is a Dinka interpreter acceptable for a Nuer speaker?
No. They are separate languages. Tell us the home area and we assign a Nuer interpreter, in person where one is based nearby and otherwise by phone or video. We are a private agency, not a court-appointed vendor.
Do you have an office in Rialto?
No. Our only office is in New York. Nuer translation is done remotely from a scan, so location makes no difference to the document work. For in-person interpreting in Rialto we assign a Nuer interpreter who is based in or near the city, and phone or video interpreting is available anywhere in the United States.
