MENUMENU

Expert Opinions

An expert opinion expands upon your Document-to-Document evaluation. It provides you with the written opinion from a university professor in the appropriate field. An expert opinion letter specifically addresses an individual’s academic and employment experience qualifications to satisfy U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) H-1B regulations for a determination of a minimum of a bachelor’s degree equivalent degree.

We work with a large network of university professors in a wide range of disciplines to ensure we satisfy your needs. Typically, professors will require information beyond the requirements of a standard Document-to-Document evaluation. This could include academic transcripts, employment verification letters, and detailed job descriptions. If you need a translation, we’d be happy to help.
