Prism Linguistics provides certified English translation of the French civil records that Nzebi speakers from Gabon and Congo file with USCIS, and Nzebi interpreters, usually by phone or video, for immigration interviews, court hearings and medical appointments in Simi Valley and across the United States.
Nzebi Interpreters in Simi Valley
Our Nzebi interpreters in Simi Valley are professional, experienced linguists who work with USCIS, immigration and state courts, hospitals and attorneys, and who accept an Nzebi interpreting assignment only once the speaker's country and district are known, because dialect and schooling decide whether Nzebi or French is the right call.
Ask which side of the border, and which dialect. Nzebi had about 140,000 speakers on figures gathered between 2000 and 2007, in several closely related dialects, and we ask the speaker's district and country before assigning anyone. Nearly every Nzebi speaker here was schooled in French, and for a working-age applicant a French interpreter usually serves. It does not serve an elderly parent, or a witness describing a village dispute in the language it was argued in; those need an Nzebi speaker. In-person Nzebi interpreters are very scarce here, so the assignment is almost always by phone or video. No state runs a court certification exam in Nzebi, so courts use a qualified Nzebi interpreter, and courts come to us for it. Hospitals that take federal funds must provide one at no cost. At USCIS the Nzebi interpreter renders each answer without softening or explaining it.
For an in-person assignment in Simi Valley we assign a Nzebi 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.
Nzebi Court, Medical and USCIS Interpreters in Simi Valley
Prism Linguistics supplies experienced Nzebi interpreters in Simi Valley for immigration interviews, court hearings, depositions and medical appointments, usually by phone or video because in-person Nzebi interpreters are scarce, together with certified translation of the French actes and judgments that go with those cases.
Simi Valley is in Ventura County. California unified its trial courts, so the city has no municipal court; matters arising here belong to the Ventura County Superior Court, which keeps the East County Courthouse in Simi Valley alongside the Hall of Justice in Ventura, where the civil, family law, probate and criminal and traffic divisions sit. Courts and attorneys here come to Prism Linguistics for the rare languages other providers cannot supply, and for USCIS and immigration filings.
Simi Valley Unified School District maintains a Spanish-language section for families alongside its English Language Development program and District English Learner Advisory Committee, and Spanish is the language named throughout. The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum sits in the city and draws international visitors and events. Prism's head office in New York is its only office; interpreters and translators work nationwide, and for a hearing, deposition or medical appointment a linguist based in or near Simi Valley is assigned.

Nzebi to English Translation Services in Simi Valley
Certified Nzebi to English translation from Prism is prepared for USCIS and attorneys by qualified Nzebi translators who also read the French of Gabonese and Congolese civil records, and every translation goes out in full with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy.
The record is French; the language is Nzebi. Nzebi (also written Njebi or Bandjabi) is spoken in Gabon's Ngounié and Ogooué-Lolo provinces and in Congo's Niari region, and neither country registers births in it. A Gabonese applicant brings an acte de naissance from the centre d'état civil of the place of birth, as a copie intégrale (the full act with marginal notes, which USCIS should see) or an extrait. A birth never declared is proved instead by a jugement supplétif from the tribunal de première instance, which stands in for the certificate and must be translated as the court judgment it is, witness statements and all. Congolese records follow the same French pattern. Nzebi itself appears only where a family wrote it, in a letter or a statement, and we translate it alongside the French with names spelled to match the passport.
Every certified Nzebi 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 Simi Valley gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in the country.

About the Nzebi Language
Nzebi (Njebi) is a Bantu language spoken by around 100,000 people in Gabon and parts of the Republic of the Congo. Our Nzebi translation work is essentially non-existent; Gabonese civil documents are usually in French (the country's official language) and routed accordingly.
Nzebi Interpreting in Simi Valley: FAQs
My Gabonese birth was never registered and I have a jugement suppletif. Can you translate it for USCIS?
Yes. We translate it as the court judgment it is, witness statements and finding included, with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy and names spelled to match the passport.
Do you have Nzebi interpreters, or will you send a French one?
We have both and ask which is needed. A French interpreter suits most working-age speakers from Gabon or Congo; an elder or a witness giving evidence about village matters needs Nzebi, supplied by phone or video because in-person Nzebi interpreters are scarce here. We are a private agency, not a court-appointed vendor.
Do you have an office in Simi Valley?
No. Our only office is in New York. Nzebi translation is done remotely from a scan, so location makes no difference to the document work. For in-person interpreting in Simi Valley we assign a Nzebi interpreter who is based in or near the city, and phone or video interpreting is available anywhere in the United States.
