We are seeking Kirundi Over-the-Phone Interpreters (OPI) to support our USCIS contract. Kirundi, a Bantu language spoken in Burundi and neighboring countries (Tanzania, DR Congo, Rwanda), is a rare but important East African language often needed for asylum and immigration cases.

Interpret with accuracy, neutrality, and professionalism in sensitive immigration and legal contexts.
Maintain confidentiality and comply with USCIS/DHS interpreter ethics standards.
Handle both scheduled assignments and urgent/surge interpretation requests.
Participate in compliance training, QA audits, and professional development.

Qualifications

Native or near-native fluency in Kirundi and English (knowledge of Kinyarwanda is a plus, as they are closely related).
2+ years of professional interpreting experience (immigration, asylum, legal, NGO, medical, or community preferred).
Strong understanding of interpreter ethics, confidentiality, and impartiality.
Cultural familiarity with Burundian and East African contexts.
Must be a U.S. Citizen or permanent resident eligible for Tier 3/Tier 5 federal clearance.

Compensation & Benefits

Competitive pay: $28–35/hour (rare-language premium).
Remote work through secure USCIS-approved platforms.
Paid training and professional development.
Consistent workload under a federal contract.
Advancement opportunities in quality assurance or linguist leadership.
