How Do I Know if I Need a Credential Evaluation?

Credential Evaluation, immigration, Visa Approvals

  • Is my degree from a country other than the United States?
  • Is my degree in a field different from my job?
  • Is my degree generalized?
    • If you answered yes to any of the questions above, the answer is YES, you need a credential evaluation. Remember, these are people who will be evaluating your petition and deciding whether or not to grant you a visa. You want to make their decision easy by making their job easy. You can do this by clearly spelling out the value of what is in front of them. That means clearly showing the US academic equivalent of your foreign degree, proving that you do have the specialized knowledge of your field of employ even if you majored in something else, and that you do have specialized education and training in your field even if your degree is generalized on paper. Give them what they need when they need it and you will be pleased with the outcome. Call us at 1.800.771.4723 anytime or visit us at http://www.ccifree.com/?CodeBLG/ and we will take a look at your transcripts, resume, and work experience for free and discern what needs to overcome any obstacles standing in the way between you and your visa.]]>

    No Degree? No Problem!

    Credential Evaluation, Visa Approvals

    could just hope that the USCIS worker evaluating your degree draws this equivalence on his or her own, but this would be a pretty risky gamble.  The USCIS receives hundreds of thousands of petitions for just 65,000 H1B visa slots.  That means they are looking for an easy way out with each petition.  Don’t give them an easy way out on your petition.  Get your degree evaluated so they can clearly see the value of your skills in terms of US college education. An authorized credential evaluation agency has the authority to write a detailed evaluation of your skill, converting work experience into college credit hours to bridge any gaps that may be left open in your academic career.  Just because you don’t have a degree doesn’t mean you aren’t the most qualified for your job.  Get your credentials evaluated before you submit your petition, and land your H1B visa in 2016.]]>
