Hi guys,

I am planning to get my college transcripts evaluated. I am wondering if there is anyone here from PI who had his/her BS Accountancy degree evaluated? The university I attended does not use the common grading system in most Uni in the PI, 3.0 is equivalent to 80% which is 75% in most Uni or colleges in PI. So I would not be surprised if my grades would be lower when evaluated or translated :)Thanks!

All evaluation agencies will be able to do this. Do a search for evaluation agencies and contact a few. See who makes you feel comfortable before you pay them. If they are hard to reach before you give them your fee, imagine how hard it will be afterwards.

Im sure they will be able to do it. I read terrible reviews about WES and other evaluation agencies that is why I want to hear from others their personal experiences. :)

Here is an organization Patty used to get her equivalency report: http://ierf.org/index.php/individuals/

If you want your credentials evaluated because you will continue school in the US, they recommend getting a detailed evaluation

which includes a course-by-course report and GPA. For employment, they recommend equivalency report which is what Patty

needed. Patty has a degree in Biology from Adamson University and a Masters in Biology from UP. IERF determined that Patty

has an equivalent bachelors & masters degree from a regionally accredited school in the US.

Thanks for the reply. I read that they have bad reviews but I might consider, maybe its only case to case basis. The evaluation will be for employment purposes but still needs course-by-course evaluation and GPA. Did your wife have hard time getting the results?

Just bring your university's grading system chart. Our school card got reference at the back.

My wife is a teacher. She was required to get her transcripts evaluated by WES (World Education Services). Here is the link for immigrants or soon to be immigrants: http://www.wes.org/immigrants/index.asp.

That site has all the links for everything you need to know, what to do, what documents you need and how to get those documents. My wife's credits all transferred 100% from her Bachelor and Masters degrees.

I used WES to get into grad school, and I had my transcript from UP evaluated there with no problems. It was quick and easy!

I received my K1 VISA in 6 months (June-December 2010)

We were married 04/02/2011
I received my conditional 2-year greencard (AOS) in 2.5 months with no interview (April-June 2011)

Our son was born 02/03/2013

I received my masters degree in Speech-Language Pathology 04/17/2013

We checked a few organizations and picked the one with the least complaints which was IERF. I also used IERF before. Patty got her evaluation

documents within a week! We did not use WES because they want the schools to send the transcripts to them directly. We did not want to deal

with that inconvenience and possible long wait. Patty already had sealed transcripts from the schools she went to. IERF did not require transcripts

be sent directly to them and their rates are decent.
