1. Upload: Send a clear copy of your diploma and, if you have them, your transcripts or mark sheets. Our online ordering is available 24/7.
2. Review: Our evaluators check your file for completeness and tell you right away if a document is missing.
3. Comparison: Your diploma is compared to U.S. standards using the AACRAO EDGE database, including the institution's recognition and the length and level of the program.

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.
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. See when you need a course-by-course evaluation. 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. Some countries also need national exam certificates or a proof of completion letter from the school.
Our country guides list exactly what to upload, so your evaluation is not delayed by a missing document.

Your non-English diplomas, transcripts, or name change documents require certified English translations for evaluation and file inclusion. Read what USCIS expects from a certified translation. Don't have translations? MotaWord makes it easy. Upload your documents via our credential evaluation form. Our system detects non-English documents at the quote stage, adds certified translation to the same order, and adjusts the delivery time.

If you already have certified English translations of your documents, you're one step ahead. Upload these certified translations along with clear copies of the original documents. We add them to your evaluation file, 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.

Our evaluators know both the U.S. and international education systems, use the AACRAO EDGE database, and stay with you from upload to delivery.
Live Chat 24/7: It is important to have access to a human when you have questions. Our team answers on live chat 24/7, before, during, and after your evaluation.
Translation and Evaluation in One Order: Documents not in English need certified translations first. Our system detects non-English documents at the quote stage and adds certified translation to the same order, so you do not need a second provider.
Price and Delivery Up Front: A diploma evaluation costs $65 and is done within 72 hours, or the same day for $115. Your instant quote shows both before you pay.
