We are seeking Garifuna Over-the-Phone Interpreters (OPI) to support our USCIS contract.

Qualifications

  • Native or near-native fluency in Garifuna and English.
  • 2+ years of professional interpreting experience (immigration, asylum, community, NGO, or government preferred).
  • Strong cultural knowledge of Garifuna communities in Central America and the diaspora.
  • Familiarity with interpreter ethics, confidentiality, and neutrality standards.
  • Must be a U.S. Citizen or permanent resident eligible for Tier 3/Tier 5 security clearance.
Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive pay: $3038/hour (rare-language premium).
  • Remote work with secure USCIS-approved platforms.
  • Paid training and professional development.
  • Steady assignments under a federal contract.
  • Opportunities for growth in quality assurance or linguist leadership.
