If you do not hold a U.S. equivalent degree, your foreign work experience may be considered by USCIS under applicable guidelines. We prepare official, USCIS-prepared work experience evaluations that document your professional history in support of H-1B, EB-3, and other employment-based petitions.
A work experience evaluation is an official report that documents your foreign professional work history and assesses it against U.S. educational standards. USCIS recognizes, under applicable policy guidelines, that professional experience may be considered alongside or in place of formal education when evaluating certain visa petitions.
This evaluation is prepared by qualified specialists who document your employment history, analyze the depth and progression of your experience, and issue a formal report for use in your immigration petition.
Under USCIS policy, progressive work experience in a specialty occupation may be considered in lieu of formal education for certain petition types. A commonly referenced guideline is that three years of qualifying, progressive experience may be considered equivalent to one year of college-level education.
Every situation is different. Contact our team → and we will assess your specific background before you order.
When the beneficiary does not hold a qualifying degree, a work experience evaluation documents professional history that may be considered by USCIS under applicable specialty occupation guidelines.
EB-3 petitions for skilled workers may require documented work experience to support the educational requirements of the position being sponsored.
When a degree exists but is in a different field than the specialty occupation, progressive work experience in the relevant field may provide additional supporting documentation.
When USCIS issues an RFE questioning educational qualifications, a work experience evaluation can provide formal documentation of the petitioner's professional background.
PERM filings may require documentation of the sponsored worker's experience to demonstrate they meet the position's requirements.
Employers may require a formal assessment of a candidate's foreign professional experience to confirm it meets U.S. position requirements.
