TheDegreePeople received a request for a foreign credentials evaluation from a man who had received a request for evidence (RFE) from the USCIS. His degree was in engineering, and his labor certificate demanded a degree in the computer industry.

An attorney told this client that they would need to get an education evaluation from a foreign academic credentials evaluation agency. Neither the attorney nor the client were certain what company they would use. After searching through immigration forums, the client decided to opt for Career Consulting International.

Professor John Kersey and education evaluation expert Sheila Danzig explained to him that his degree in engineering actually met the requirement for a degree in the computer industry. He submitted his evaluation, and we at TDP were very pleased to hear from the client that his I-140 visa had been approved. ]]> http://thedegreepeople.com/case-study/case-study/another-successful-response-to-an-rfe/feed/ 0 http://thedegreepeople.com/case-study/case-study/case-study-chartered-accountancy-certificates-a-u-s-master-degree/ http://thedegreepeople.com/case-study/case-study/case-study-chartered-accountancy-certificates-a-u-s-master-degree/#comments Sat, 01 Nov 2008 13:51:24 +0000 admin http://thedegreepeople.com/case-study/?p=20 A client approached us for assistance with an RFE from the USCIS regarding his Chartered Accountancy (CA) Certificate from India. The RFE stated that the USCIS did not believe that his CA was the U.S. equivalency of a Master Degree, which was the requirement for his employment visa.

Career Consulting International was asked to deliver a foreign credentials evaluation of the client’s Indian Bachelor Degree and CA certificate. In our educational evaluation, we were able to demonstrate that his foreign degree and certification was indeed the U.S. equivalency demanded by the labor certificate.

The USCIS reviewed our evaluation report and determined that we correctly evaluated the client’s education. As a consequence, his visa was approved.
