Case Studies

RFEs. These clients have applied to us indicating that a foreign credentials evaluation of their 3-year degrees had resulted in RFEs and denials. Ms. Sheila Danzig, and academic expert, Professor John Kersey, have developed an approach for evaluating 3-year degrees that has been very successful withUSCIS authorities. Because of this effective method, many people who have experienced RFEs or denials of immigration visas because of their three-year degrees have been able to successfully appeal these decisions. Ms. Danzig and Professor Kersey have compiled more than 400 pages of evidence supporting the equality of the 3-year degree for employment-based and immigration visas for people holding foreign credentials.  If you’ve had enough difficulties with problematic foreign credentials evaluations from other agencies, get a low-cost pre-evaluation from the experts at TheDegreePeople today!]]>

Then, the employer must show, through a foreign credentials evaluations, that the candidate’s education is the U.S. equivalency of the desired credentials. What employment rules affect H1-B visa holders?  First, people with these work visas must be continually employed in the capacity for which they were hired. This does not include medical leave or maternity leave. In addition, people with these visas must obtain educational evaluations each time their visa is renewed. Finally, they must follow special procedures in order to change employers. If you are a person with a foreign degree who wishes to work in the U.S., the first step in the visa application is to obtain an evaluation report for your foreign degree or diploma.
