A diploma evaluation states what your foreign credential equals in the U.S. education system, for example a U.S. high school diploma, a four-year bachelor's degree or a master's degree. The report names your institution and the credential you earned, so a USCIS officer, an employer or an admissions office can read it at a glance.
Military recruiters, community colleges and employers often ask for the U.S. high school equivalency of a diploma earned abroad. We evaluate high school diplomas as well as degrees, for school admissions, employment, military enlistment and immigration.
Advanced degree filings, graduate admissions and senior roles depend on whether your master's or doctorate equals its U.S. counterpart. Our evaluators look at the level, length and admission requirements of your program before they state its U.S. equivalent.
A diploma evaluation ($65) covers the U.S. equivalent of your credential, which is what most USCIS filings and employers need. Universities and licensing boards often ask for a course-by-course evaluation ($120) instead, which also lists every course with its U.S. grade, credits and GPA. If you are not sure which one to order, ask the office that will receive your report, or ask us on live chat 24/7.
Requirements depend on the country that issued your diploma. Most evaluations need a copy of the diploma and the transcript or mark sheets that go with it, and some countries also need national exam certificates or a proof of completion letter from the school. Our country guides list exactly what to upload.
Your non-English diplomas, transcripts or name change documents require certified English translations for evaluation. Upload them with your evaluation order and our system adds certified translation and adjusts the delivery time. If you already have certified translations, upload them along with clear copies of the originals, so you do not pay for the same translation twice.
USCIS uses an evaluation to confirm that your education meets the requirement of your petition, and our evaluations follow the USCIS Policy Manual. Read these requirements in the official USCIS Policy Manual. For an H-1B petition, the beneficiary needs a U.S. bachelor's degree or its foreign equivalent in a related field. See our H-1B education evaluation. For an EB-2 advanced degree petition, USCIS looks for a U.S. master's degree or a bachelor's degree followed by five years of progressive experience.
When education alone does not meet the requirement, an expert opinion letter can explain how your degree and work experience combine. Learn how our expert opinion letters support USCIS petitions. Not sure which one your petition needs? Ask us on live chat 24/7.
