Foreign Credential Evaluation Service USA
Career Consulting International provides professional Foreign Credential Evaluation services for individuals and employers across the United States. When education or professional experience earned outside the U.S. is not automatically recognized by federal agencies, employers, or academic institutions, a properly prepared credential evaluation determines how those qualifications compare to U.S. standards.
Many applicants discover this requirement late, after a visa petition has already been filed or a job offer has been made. A credential evaluation that lacks proper analysis or alignment with USCIS expectations can lead to delays, Requests for Evidence, or outright denials. Our evaluations are prepared individually, with attention to the specific purpose, whether for an H-1B petition, I-140 filing, employment verification, or academic admission.
Each report is handled personally, not generated by automated tools or generic templates. Our approach reflects how U.S. immigration officers, employers, and institutions actually review credential evaluations.
What Is a Foreign Credential Evaluation
and Why Does It Matters in the USA?
A Foreign Credential Evaluation is a professional assessment that explains how education or experience earned outside the United States compares to U.S. academic or professional standards. Even when a degree or qualification is valid in its home country, it does not automatically translate to U.S. equivalency.
Credential evaluations are commonly required for:
Credential evaluation for USCIS filings
When a foreign degree must be submitted with an H-1B or I-140 petition, USCIS expects a clearly prepared evaluation that confirms degree equivalency and field of study relevance.
Credential evaluation for immigration petitions
Immigration attorneys and petitioners use credential evaluations to support visa filings where educational background is a qualifying factor under USCIS specialty occupation standards.
Credential evaluation for employment verification
U.S. employers in regulated industries often require a formal evaluation before extending an offer or confirming that a candidate's foreign degree meets the position's educational requirements.
Education credential evaluation for U.S. colleges and universities
Academic institutions use credential evaluations to determine admissions eligibility, transfer credit, and whether a foreign degree meets the entry requirements for graduate or professional programs.
U.S. agencies, employers, and institutions rely on these reports when making decisions that carry legal and administrative consequences. An evaluation that lacks clarity, proper analysis, or alignment with U.S. standards can lead to delays, Requests for Evidence, denials, or rejections.
Our foreign credential evaluation USA service is designed to meet these expectations. Every evaluation of a foreign degree or professional background is prepared with attention to detail, consistency, and compliance with accepted U.S. evaluation practices.

Each report is reviewed individually and aligned with the standards USCIS, employers, and institutions actually apply when assessing foreign credentials.
Whether the need involves degree equivalency evaluation, degree equivalency for H-1B, or evaluation of international degree credentials, our reports are structured around nationwide U.S. standards rather than local or informal interpretations.

Expert Evaluation
Qualified evaluators assess U.S. equivalency using recognized academic frameworks and precedents relevant to the specific use of the report.
Quality & Compliance Review
Each USCIS degree evaluation is reviewed internally to ensure clarity, consistency, and alignment with U.S. expectations.
