TheDegreePeople.com, a leader in foreign credential evaluations, provides critical insights into selecting the appropriate evaluation type for immigration, employment, or academic purposes. Understanding the distinction between document-by-document and course-by-course evaluations ensures compliance with USCIS standards and maximizes success in visa applications or educational pursuits.
Document-by-Document Evaluations
This evaluation type verifies the authenticity of academic credentials and establishes U.S. equivalency for degrees or diplomas. Ideal for employment-based visas (e.g., H-1B) or immigration petitions (I-140), it confirms institutional accreditation, program duration, and degree equivalency without analyzing individual courses. For instance, a three-year bachelor’s degree from India can be validated as equivalent to a U.S. four-year degree through this method, addressing common USCIS concerns.
Course-by-Course Evaluations
Required for academic admissions or professional licensing, this detailed analysis breaks down coursework, grades, and credits into U.S. equivalents. It calculates GPA, designates course levels (upper/lower division), and aligns curricula with specific job roles or graduate programs. For example, engineers or healthcare professionals often need this evaluation to demonstrate specialized training meets U.S. standards.
Choosing the Right Evaluation
TheDegreePeople.com guides clients through this decision, leveraging decades of expertise in USCIS requirements and academic standards. For immigration cases, document-by-document evaluations often suffice, while course-by-course reports are essential for RFE responses involving specialty occupations or complex credential discrepancies.
