We have provided Credential Evaluation Services in USA since 1997.
Pursuing further education, immigration or looking for a job in the United States of America, you may need an evaluation of your foreign credentials. Credential evaluation services in USA are independent companies that evaluate your foreign education in terms of a US associate, bachelor’s, master’s or doctorate degree.
After the evaluation, a range of reports are provided as there are several reasons for credential evaluation, so, you get a report specific to your needs. Prospective international students from foreign nations applying for admission to universities or colleges in the United States or any international schools need their transcripts evaluated. Individuals looking to immigrate to the US or any other nation will only need a document evaluation or an education and work experience evaluation report.
International students looking to get admitted to colleges or universities are going to be better served by getting a course by course evaluation report. These are very detailed reports that lists out subjects, US credit hours as well as US grades. Grade point averages (GPA) are also calculated off the options listed above.
The detailed evaluation between the education systems of two countries help colleges & universities decide on the eligibility of a student for admission into any of the degree programs they offer. On the flip side, it also helps in facilitating transfer credits if there are courses already completed by the student. So, repetition of courses will not occur unnecessarily.
When settling down in the United States, the rules are different. Immigrating would require a visa allotted by the United States Citizenship Services (USCIS). For all visa applicants, a credential evaluation report is crucial. Although the reports are not going to be as detailed as the transcript evaluation, they still require some vital pieces of information. Two reports are generally required to serve this purpose, the document Evaluation Report and the Education and Work Experience Report.
All that is required here is a simple but comprehensive document affirming the US equivalence of one’s diploma or degree, useful and accurate information of the degree granting school including its accreditation status and the interval of studies. For employment and immigration reasons, a document evaluation is going to be sufficient as the USCIS doesn’t concern themselves with grade point averages or hours completed.
This should be self-explanatory but this report primarily combines the education and work experience of an individual. This is how it work experience needs to be relevant to the field of education. For example, a Computer Science degree followed by work experience in an Insurance company is not very feasible. However, a Bachelor’s in Computer Science followed by five years of work experience in the same field could be worked into a Master’s in Computer Science.
