When it comes to U.S. immigration, validating your foreign education isn’t just a formality it’s a critical step that can determine whether your visa, green card, or employment petition gets approved. USCIS reviews educational credentials closely for eligibility, specialty occupation requirements, and degree equivalency.
For thousands of applicants each year, delays happen not because they don’t qualify but because their educational documents are evaluated incorrectly, inconsistently, or too slowly.
At International Evaluations, we help attorneys and applicants validate foreign degrees accurately and quickly so immigration filings stay on schedule and compliant with USCIS standards.
Whether you are filing for H-1B, EB-2 NIW, EB-3, O-1, PERM, or I-140, a properly prepared education evaluation can make or break your case.
Why Education Validation Is So Important for Immigration
USCIS relies on credential evaluations to determine if a foreign degree is equal to a U.S. bachelor’s, master’s, or doctorate. When documentation is incomplete or unclear, USCIS can issue delays or Requests for Evidence (RFEs).
Common issues include:
Missing transcripts or mark sheets
Incorrect degree equivalency
Unrecognized institutions
Inconsistent major or specialization
Confusion between 3-year degrees vs. U.S. 4-year degrees
Lack of professor or expert analysis for specialized fields
No experience-based equivalency where required
Even a small inconsistency can disrupt processing timelines.
Our team ensures your education evaluation meets USCIS expectations — the first time.
