What This Service Is

What Is an Academic Credential Evaluation?

An academic credential evaluation is an official report that converts your foreign degree into its U.S. equivalent. It documents what level of U.S. education your foreign qualification corresponds to — a bachelor's, master's, or doctorate — so that USCIS officers, employers, licensing boards, and other U.S. authorities can properly assess your qualifications.

Foreign degrees are not automatically recognized in the United States. A credential evaluation bridges that gap with an official, formatted report prepared by qualified specialists.

Where It Can Be Used

Where Your Evaluation Will Be Accepted

U.S. Immigration

Required for H-1B, EB-2, EB-3, F-1, O-1, L-1, and most employment-based visa petitions filed with USCIS.

Employment Verification

U.S. employers use credential evaluations to verify international hires meet job qualification requirements.

Professional Licensing

State licensing boards for medicine, engineering, pharmacy, and accounting require foreign credential evaluations.

Teaching Certification

State education departments require evaluations for internationally educated teachers seeking U.S. certification.

Government & Federal Jobs

Federal agencies and government positions often require official foreign degree equivalency as part of the application process.

RFE Response

When USCIS issues a Request for Evidence on educational qualifications, a credential evaluation is the standard required response.
