What is an Academic Evaluation?
In a globalized world, academic credentials often cross borders. However, the challenge arises when these credentials need to align with the U.S. educational system. This alignment is not just a bureaucratic requirement; it's a cornerstone for your successful immigration application, be it for employment, education, or residency purposes. Our services offer an evaluation of your academic documents, using resources like AACRAO EDGE to convert your qualifications into their U.S. equivalents, for the USCIS officers to greenlight your applications faster.

Speed up Your USCIS Application: MotaWord's Expert Education Credential Evaluations for Clear Equivalency
USCIS policy manual on the Evaluation of Education Credentials clearly says that for the Evaluation of Education Credentials; “officers may favorably consider a credentials evaluation performed by an independent credentials evaluator who has provided a credible, logical, and well-documented case for such an equivalency determination that is based solely on the noncitizen’s foreign degree(s).”
It is our duty at MotaWord to make sure that our evaluation of your education aids in the USCIS officers to easily understand and determine your educational fit within the US system and to ensure your application proceeds with the officer not having any doubts about your educational equivalency.
Evaluation Process Overview
Our evaluation process is meticulous and thorough.
STEP 1
It begins with the submission of your academic records, including transcripts, diplomas, and certificates. We verify these documents for authenticity and then proceed to a detailed analysis.
STEP 2
Our experienced evaluators consider various factors, such as the educational curriculum, institution accreditation, study duration, and the AACRAO EDGE database to provide a fair comparison with U.S. educational standards. This process is vital for ensuring that your credentials are accurately represented in your immigration applications. For a more detailed guide on the submission process, visit our Transcript and Diploma Evaluation page.

Already Have Certified Translations?
If you already possess certified English translations of your foreign language documents, you're one step ahead. Please upload these certified translations along with clear copies of the original documents. This ensures an integration into your evaluation file and aids in expediting your USCIS application process. With MotaWord, you can easily attach your existing translations to your case documents, saving valuable time and maintaining the integrity of your application.
Get Your Credential Evaluation to Serve in the Military
Military candidates with foreign education credentials need academic evaluations to verify their qualifications and establish U.S. equivalency. Most recruiters require a U.S. high school equivalency determination before they can process an enlistment file, and a professional credential evaluation is what makes that determination official for civilian, international, or service-related purposes.
MotaWord delivers military-ready evaluations in as little as 24 hours, at a fraction of traditional evaluation costs, with standard delivery starting at $65 within 72 hours.

Get Your Foreign Credentials Evaluated for US College Admissions
University and graduate admissions offices only accept foreign transcripts and diplomas alongside a course-by-course credential evaluation that translates your GPA and coursework into U.S. equivalents. MotaWord's evaluators format every report to the exact standard admissions committees expect, so a missing detail never costs you a seat.
Order before 3 PM ET on a weekday and your evaluation ships the same day for $115; the standard 72-hour turnaround runs $65. Either way, the report is ready to submit directly with your university application or credit transfer request.

Get a Credential Evaluation Employers Trust
Employers and licensing boards will not recognize a foreign degree without a verified credential evaluation that shows exactly how it compares to a U.S. degree. MotaWord's evaluators, familiar with PERM and other employment-based filings, issue reports hiring managers and licensing boards accept on the first review.
Standard delivery takes 72 hours at $65, or choose the $115 same-day option (weekdays, before 3 PM ET) when an employer needs your paperwork fast. Submit the finished report straight to HR or your licensing board.

Indian Degree Evaluation, Done Right
Indian three-year and four-year degrees are evaluated differently by U.S. institutions, and a general evaluator who misses that distinction can cost you an admission or a job offer. MotaWord's evaluators know India's grading scales and university systems, and assess your degree accordingly.
Reports start at $65 and are ready within 72 hours, faster if you need it. What matters more than the clock is accuracy: our evaluators know exactly how a three-year Bachelor's from an Indian university maps to U.S. standards, a distinction general evaluators often get wrong.

Credential Evaluation for H-1B Sponsorship
USCIS will not approve an H-1B petition without proof that your foreign degree meets the specialty occupation requirement. MotaWord's credential evaluation reports document how your education, and where relevant your work experience, translate into an equivalent U.S. degree that satisfies the position.
At $65 and a 72-hour turnaround, MotaWord's H-1B evaluation report gives your petition the documentation USCIS expects, without slowing down the rest of your filing.

Course-by-Course Credential Evaluation
A general equivalency statement is not enough for graduate schools, licensing boards, and employers who need to verify every class, grade, and credit hour on your transcript. MotaWord's course-by-course evaluation breaks your record down to that level of detail for exactly that kind of review.
A Course-by-Course Evaluation runs $65 with delivery in 72 hours. Every class, grade, and credit hour is itemized, so graduate schools and licensing boards get the granular comparison a general equivalency statement can't provide.
