11. USCIS & Legal Compliance
International Evaluations prepares documentation and evaluation services solely for the purpose of supporting U.S. immigration petitions. All documents we prepare — including expert opinion letters, credential evaluations, wage level letters, and certified translations — are intended to be used as supporting evidence in petitions filed with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) or other relevant authorities.
We do not provide immigration legal advice, legal representation, or petition strategy. Eligibility for any U.S. immigration benefit is determined solely by USCIS based on the full petition record and applicable law. We make no representations or guarantees regarding the outcome of any petition, application, or USCIS adjudication. Our documentation is prepared to support — not substitute for — the advice and strategy of a qualified, licensed immigration attorney.
All expert opinion letters are prepared with the involvement of independent experts. The views and assessments expressed in those letters represent the independent professional opinion of the named expert and do not constitute legal advice. Clients and their attorneys are responsible for verifying that all documentation submitted to USCIS is accurate, complete, and appropriate for their specific case.
All evaluations and documentation prepared by International Evaluations are based solely on scanned copies or digital versions of documents provided by the applicant. We do not independently verify the authenticity, accuracy, or completeness of the documents submitted to us. Neither International Evaluations nor its independent experts make any representation or warranty as to the genuineness of the underlying documents. It is the sole responsibility of the receiving party — including USCIS, employers, academic institutions, and immigration attorneys — to verify the authenticity of any documents submitted as part of a petition or application.
If you have questions about whether our services are appropriate for your petition, we recommend consulting a qualified immigration attorney before placing an order.
