Need Advice on a USCIS Credential Evaluation

[patrick_millan]

I'm preparing documents for a USCIS petition and have questions about credential evaluations. Which type is usually accepted, and what mistakes should applicants avoid?

For most USCIS petitions, a standard document-by-document evaluation is sufficient, though specialized visas like H-1B often require a detailed course-by-course breakdown.

Always choose an agency that is an official member of NACES or AICE (such as WES or ECE) to guarantee USCIS acceptance. The most common mistake is submitting foreign-language credentials without certified word-for-word English translations attached.

Which specific visa or petition category are you preparing to file for?

I’m looking at an employment-based petition, so I’ll need to check the specific requirements for that category. Thanks for pointing out the translation issue that’s definitely something I’ll make sure is handled properly.
