Hi guys I am new here, and I come from Poland.

Notwithstanding I can earn well as a translator and a writer as my avocation here for the conveniences of achieving the visa for LL in the U.S I wanna just work in the U.S and by this way do the LL.

I am learning English well and also learning French at the same time. So how about the wages of becoming a translator like I say in the title in the U.S? And must I go to the language schools to get the certificates and then I can only become one?

Any answer will be appreciated! What about becoming a translator that translates English and French in the U.S?

There aren't really that many translator jobs unless you are planning to work for the US government ( but this position usually requires lot of experience and a security clearance ) + even if there are civilian translator position available they are really competitive ( the high paying ones ).

99% of translators are probably self-employeed and do freelancing in sites like Fiverr or upwork. One of my friends do English/Korean/Japanese translations and he makes around 2k-3k doing part time.

2k-3k per month? Sounds great to me already

lol maybe because you are originally from Poland. I don't know how much demand Polish/French ( right now Korean/Japanese is definitely in demand - especially for business/cultural stuff ) is right now but definitely give Fiverr/upwork a shot.

But thanks for your reply!
