Trina,
We haven't had my husband's degree evaluated yet but he did go to his university get his certificate of law and had it translated. It had all of the classes that he took and how he passed whether it said passed or very good. It had a percentage on it that stated he passed with xxx%. Tell Mohamed this information and see if it helps him to understand what you need him to bring. I did read that a lot of the companies that evaluate the degree ask for an original to be sent directly from the university.

Yes it's a really good idea to get these translations before he goes because it's difficult otherwise. And yes if he continues higher education in the US they will want translations of these documents.

Hi Tasha all what i have now is just my degree (Arabic and English version) originals . so i don't think that i have to translate it once its already in English .
but it does not say anything about what i took or about how i passed it .
i graduated from faculty of commerce (Alexandria university ) i don't know if they can give transcripts and scores or not .
i think i have to go to them .
Thank you so much . i really appreciate it .
