Hi, everyone! I am new here, although I have been lurking around the forums every once in a while, and this is the first time I am officially joining Visajourney. I have been in the US for almost 10 months now, and I currently work for a school district in California. In order for them to have me signed a contract, they are requiring me to have my transcripts evaluated. They need to know the US equivalent of my education. I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Mass Comm. from the University of the Philippines, and I have also obtained M.A. units/classes from the same university but never got to finish my thesis dissertation.

I am just curious about your experiences in having your transcripts evaluated for work/academic purposes. I heard about WES and IERF. I also heard that Cali. State University in Fresno is doing foreign transcripts evaluation, but I have no idea which agency is the most reliable and helpful. I need to have this done at least in the next two months...

Any suggestions and insights would be truly appreciated. God bless you all. :)

Hi, Sir! Would you know how long did it take with APIE to have your wife's transcripts evaluated? Thank you so much.

I used ECE.

www.ece.org

Will take a look at this site. Thank you. :)

My wife used... www.eres.com "The ERES office is in Sacramento, California"

But,

My wife was seeking a nursing license for the State of Texas and there was only two agencies the Texas Board of Nursing accepted.

So,

I would research a bit on possible uses of your evaluation. Check to see if the State Board of Education for California,,, only accepts

evaluations from certain,, evaluation companies...

Good Luck.

Regards,

dc
