An academic evaluation states the U.S. equivalent of a degree earned abroad. USCIS does not require one for every case, but filings that depend on a foreign degree, such as H-1B and employment-based green card petitions, commonly include one because officers may favorably consider a well-documented evaluation from an independent evaluator. See how to interpret an academic evaluation report.
Yes, same thing. Credential evaluation, diploma evaluation, foreign degree evaluation, and academic evaluation all name a report that states what your foreign education equals in the US system. Read our step-by-step guide to understanding diploma evaluation.
A standard evaluation is $65 and is delivered in 72 hours. If you order on a weekday before 3 PM ET, same-day delivery is $115. Military recruitment evaluations can be delivered in as little as 24 hours. If your documents need certified translation, that time is added to your delivery estimate. Upload your documents to see your exact price.
A general evaluation states the U.S. equivalency of each credential. A course-by-course evaluation lists every class, grade, and credit hour and calculates your GPA. Universities, licensing boards, and some employers ask for the course-by-course version. Read the full comparison.
Yes. Documents that are not in English need certified English translations before evaluation. MotaWord can translate them for you, or you can upload certified translations you already have together with clear copies of the originals. See our certified translation services for USCIS.
No evaluator controls the officer's decision. USCIS policy allows officers to favorably consider a credible, logical, and well-documented evaluation, and we write every report to that standard. Review the most common RFEs on foreign academic credentials before you file.
Often yes. Evaluators can prepare an evaluation before graduation using your transcripts to date, enrollment verification, and provisional documents. Learn what to submit.
Start by asking the school, employer or board reviewing your file which reports it accepts. Then compare price, delivery time and how clearly each credential evaluation agency explains its reasoning. Compare the top five credential evaluation companies.
A closed or conflict-damaged school does not have to end your evaluation. Evaluators can work from partial evidence. Read how to prove your degree when your school is closed or destroyed and how evaluators handle disrupted education systems.
Most recruiters require a U.S. high school equivalency determination before they can process an enlistment file. MotaWord evaluates your foreign high-school diploma to ensure it is equivalent to a US high-school. Ask your recruiter which evaluation they need, then order a military recruitment evaluation. Our military academic evaluations guide explains the latest policy changes.
Many applicants use MotaWord as a faster alternative to WES: evaluations from $65 in 72 hours, with certified translations ordered in the same place. See how to choose a fast WES alternative and why evaluators can give different equivalencies. Unlike World Education Services, MotaWord is not a NACES member, so you should check whether the college you submit your evaluation to requires a NACES member or not.
No, MotaWord is not a member of NACES (National Association of Credential Evaluation Services) or AICE (Association of International Credential Evaluators). Many US colleges and universities prefer credential evaluations from agencies accredited by NACES or AICE, so we strongly recommend verifying with your prospective schools whether this membership is a requirement before ordering an evaluation from us.
Yes. MotaWord integrates with Docketwise, Clio, Visalaw.ai, and MyCase, so attorneys can order evaluations and certified translations without leaving their case management tools.
An academic evaluation compares your credentials with U.S. standards and states the equivalency. An expert opinion letter gives a professional opinion on the role, the field, or the beneficiary's qualifications. Some petitions use both. Start with Expert Opinion Letters: Everything You Need to Know.
