Foreign Credentials Evaluated to U.S. Academic Standards

A credential evaluation is a formal written report confirming the U.S. equivalency of a foreign academic degree, transcript, or professional experience. Every evaluation is  Given by a qualified evaluator matched to your country of education and field of study, written specifically for your documents, not generated automatically.

What This Service Is

What Is an Academic Credential Evaluation?

An academic credential evaluation is an official report that converts your foreign degree into its U.S. equivalent. It documents what level of U.S. education your foreign qualification corresponds to — a bachelor’s, master’s, or doctorate — so that USCIS officers, employers, licensing boards, and other U.S. authorities can properly assess your qualifications.
Foreign degrees are not automatically recognized in the United States. A credential evaluation bridges that gap with an official, formatted report prepared by qualified specialists.

Where It Can Be Used

Work Experience Evaluation

When a petitioner does not hold a formal qualifying degree, years of professional experience in a relevant field may be accepted in its place, under specific equivalency formulas recognized in U.S. immigration and employment practice. This evaluation formally converts that work experience into its educational equivalency, documented with the precision USCIS and employers expect. Common for H-1B three-for-one experience cases and EB-3 unskilled worker petitions.
