Hi everyone!

Just got my EAD and so job hunting starts. Has any of you here had your or your wife/husband's PH university school credits evaluated to determine its US equivalent?

If so, where?

Thanks mucho!

My wife had her Bachelors in Nursing Science evaluated and per Texas Board Of Nursing website we had 3 companies to choose from .

Cost around $400 and had to do a Course By Course Evaluation, and also had to have PRC in Philippines send Verification of her Licenses in Philippines to same place, that was free except for shipping.

I have a Bachelors in Teaching and it was accredited by IERF (international education research foundation).

After the evaluation,the result says it is .."US equivalent to any teaching program offered in the US..".

I think it depends on the school u wen to. Some people who went to a small private colleges sometimes lack the credits to be equivalent.

usually, if its a state university of private university (the big schools) get a positive result.
