I would appreciate any and all help regarding this matter.
I am currently in the process of acquiring permanent residency in the US through my employer. However the INS has decided to throw a hurdle in my way by questioning my credentials, which myemployer finds more than acceptable.
The text of the INS letter to me is as follows:
As evidence that the alien has obtained the equivalent of a bachelor’s degree in Information Technology or a related discipline, you may submit an advisory evaluation of the beneficiary’s education. The Immigration and Naturalization Service does not endorse or recommend evaluators. Many private individuals, organizations and educational institutions provide this service. An acceptable evaluation should:
1.Consider formal education only, not practical experience;
2. State if the collegiate training was post-secondary education, i.e. whether the applicant completed the US equivalent of high school before entering college;
3. Provide a detailed explanation of the material evaluated;
4. Briefly state the qualifications and experience of the evaluator providing the opinion.
Who do I contact regarding such an evaluation? Apparently our Chief Information Officer’s opinion is insufficient. I would be more than happy to pay consulting fees to anyone sufficiently certified to provide such an evaluation.
Does anyone have any ideas?
