Who we are

Languamatch was founded by Shafi Chowdhury, a New York City-based immigration attorney with extensive experience in USCIS interviews, Immigration Court hearings, family court proceedings, and landlord-tenant cases. Having personally witnessed the critical impact of accurate interpretation on case outcomes, he established Languamatch to connect law firms with highly qualified, ethically trained interpreters—ensuring that each client is fully understood and precisely heard in the front of USCIS officers and adjudicators.

We provide professional interpretation services exclusively to licensed attorneys and immigration clients in a wide range of languages. Whether you require on-site support at USCIS Field Offices, remote interpretation via phone or secure video, or in-person assistance at your office or court, our certified interpreters deliver precise, impartial, and culturally sensitive communication—without ever engaging in legal advice or the unauthorized practice of law (UPL) as we are not a law firm.

Our mission is simple: bridge language barriers so justice is never lost in translation.
