It was a very positive experience working with her then - outstanding communications, very reasonable price, and fast turnaround. It turned out I needed 2 more notarized copies of the same document now, and I worked with Jonathan on this. Again - great communications. They still had the translation in their computer system, and generated it very quickly at an extremely reasonable price. Company is very professional and a pleasure to work with.

Edit 11/28/24: The business confirmed they received my Zelle and have refunded it back to me today…read more Considering reservations businesses may have, I am glad they followed up with my initial review and the refund. Would recommend them to anyone needing translation services. I was in urgent need of translating my marriage certificate from English to traditional Chinese. And by urgent, I mean on a Monday night ~4pm needing it the next two days. I reached out to Multilingual Technologies on Yelp for a quote, and they responded very quick, asking me to email them my document and they would give me a quote and turnaround time. After emailing them my document, I got a fast response with a $80 quote for the translation and notarization. Like how other reviews mention, their prices really are outstanding and cannot be beaten by other places around. The person I was talking to even offered to email me a proof of the translation by 11am the next day (Tuesday), and I could pick up the paperwork by Wednesday first thing in the morning when their office opens (10am). These were without any additional cost. So for service, pricing and turnaround time-wise, this place is pretty solid and I would recommend. The reason I took 2 stars off, is because of the payment issue. In the email, the person asked me to send the payment via Zelle or Paypal, since they do not take credit cards. I immediately sent the Zelle payment to the listed email, and the payment was taken out of my bank account. An hour later, the person emailed me back saying they have not received the payment yet and is asking me to investigate. From previous experience, it has happened with my bank (Bank of America) where they might take a few business days for the Zelle payment to send to a "new" recipient for security purposes; also, depending on the recipient's bank, it could take a few days to clear as well. I even called my bank and confirmed this and sent Multilingual Technologies my payment confirmation twice; but on their end, since they have not received the payment at the time of me picking up the documents on Wednesday morning, I was told to pay cash. Since I was in urgent need, I paid cash at the time of pickup, but I also noted to the person at the office (Jonathan) of the situation with the Zelle payment and asked them to please send the payment back to me when it goes through, since I have now double-paid. As of today 11/22/24, I still have not received the payment back from Multilingual Technologies. I am hoping 1. moving forward, for future customers they can also note that the payment can be done in cash as well - I would have went with this method instead of paying via Zelle; and 2. send me my payment back when it does go through.

So I've been getting help from KyAnh at VN Link solutions for over two years now(since January…read more2019). KyAnh helped me translate documents from Vietnamese to English as I was going through the K1 Visa process for my wife in Vietnam. Before going to VN Link Solutions, my uncle referred me to some Vietnamese lawyer in the Vietnamese newspaper, I forget where this was in downtown San Jose somewhere, but they were trash. After getting a document they translated for me rejected by USCIS I was so upset. I then searched on Yelp to find VN Link Solutions and got connected with KyAnh. I explained to her what was going on she was able to get my wife's documents translated with a quick turnaround time being that I needed fast help at the last minute. KyAnh is a certified translator/interpreter backed by the DoD so that document is included with the translations (which gave me peace of mind). When my wife got her from Vietnam, KyAnh also took care of the translation for my wife's birth certificate (around January 2020) as my wife was going through the i-485 application for adjustment of status. Quick turnaround time for that also. A little over a week ago, my wife finally had her interview for the I-485 and KyAnh did an awesome job interpreting for her. KyAnh has been there with us since the beginning of this journey and was a great help getting us across the finish line! The only person I would recommend for translating and interpreting! Thank you so much KyAnh!

I emailed the owner KyAnh for a quote and she got back to me promptly. Communication was clear and…read moreshe agreed to my request with no push back to help my paperwork progress smoothly with USCIS. Professional at a reasonable price. Will return in the future.

Spencer Chase is a scammer. I wish I had read the recent reviews before paying him…read more I hired Spencer for assistance for a Chinese Visa application. Similar to other reviewers here, he initially seemed very responsive and knowledgeable, but then the delays and excuses started. Since he has had legitimate experience in this field, his excuses seemed reasonable, so I gave him the benefit of the doubt. In the end, they were all lies. Here is an incomplete list of the excuses he used: "Waiting for the pickup notification" "Should be today or tomorrow" "It will definitely be next week" "They are a little backlogged at the Consulate" "Should be any day" "Will contact you soon, at the consulate now" "Should be getting the pickup ticket tomorrow" "They are prioritizing business first, ticket applicants second, and non-ticket applicants like yours third" "This delay is not typical" "Your application was batched with a tourism order last week" "I've been using all methods to try to get this done as soon as possible and it will be completed this week" "I got the pick up date and it's for next Thursday" "I just received one for another case that was submitted shortly before yours so it looks like we're almost there" All of these excuses sounded believable and made the process sound like it was always tantalizingly close to completion, but every one of these updates was a lie. Every. Single. One. I was a fool to have believed him. I hired Spencer in July when he promised it would be done in 2-3 weeks. I had to threaten him with legal action in order to recover my passport in November (4 months later, still with no visa in hand). After getting my passport back, I went to the consulate myself. The whole process took just 40 minutes (mostly waiting in line). It makes my blood boil just thinking about how Spencer strung me along for 4 agonizing months because he couldn't have bothered to go to the consulate for a mere 40 minutes. He exploited my inexperience and took advantage of my patience. My advice for anyone applying for a Chinese visa: do it yourself. The consulate updated their online application process in October 2025 so it's much smoother. If there is anything missing in your application, they'll tell you online exactly what you need. When it's time to submit your passport to the consulate in person, you just need to drop off the passport. The processing is super fast now because they've already reviewed everything online. And you don't have to pay a penny until your actually pick up your passport with the visa. Even worse than wasting your money and time, Spencer will ruin your travel plans and your mental health. He never planned on completing the work. Please don't make the same mistake I did.

However, with no work completed and no updates, Spencer ghosted me when I called, multiple times. Eventually, I submitted the application by myself in April 2024 and asked for the refund. Spencer agreed to the full amount of $5,025 in May 2024, and promised to pay me gradually, but I have only received 1 payment, in amount of $200 on 5/28/2024. Until today, Bow Joy Services still owes me $4,825. I filed complaint via BBB, the complaint was closed with no answer from the business.
