Working at usa with a foreign diploma

[dandanos 54]

Im applying for my wife to come to live with me and im thinking how she can use her degree from her country ( morocco ) , she has an Engineering degree in agricultural and food industries from known university ( 5 years ) . So here is what im thing

1) since she is so good at math , im thinking to ask her to do her Phd on applied math or anything related to that but that would be another 4 or 5 years .

2) second thought is to make an equivalent degree without going to school and start looking for a job on her field but that it ll hard for her to find a job since she has a foreign degree ?? .

3) to do an extra year and get her master degree .

any help would be much appreciated

No she does not

Suggest she works on that, often it is as much who you know as what you know.

A lot of these things are now on line so location is not that important.

If she decides to go back to school she would need to get her degree evaluated. I used World Education Services.

Plus with engineering, there is often professional exams that would need to be written in order to practice in the United States, has she looked into those exams?

Regardless, evaluating her degree will be beneficial when she is in the U.S. so she can work on that now. Then she probably needs to figure out if she wants to go back to school.

good luck

There are quite a few evaluation services, the general view is to talk to who ever it is you are dealing with as different entities use different evaluators.

i already did for her , i have looked into some of exams she has to take , and i know for sure that she is going to have to evaluate her degree

i personally used ECE but since im int IT , i had to do course by course in order to get my BS and that was a whiiiile a go

she wants to go back as long as it wont take many years , but im trying to convince her to continue her study

Thanks Canadian wife

Most of school/universities are dealing with ECE or WES but i heard terrible reviews about them

So have I but what can you do?

Nothing much really . her school back home is dealing a lot with many schools here in america however im afraid they wont evaluate her degree correctly as they look down on some of African countries

You might talk with some professional recruiters who specialize in engineering, to see what they make of her qualifications.

If you search for some corporations in your area that deal in her area(s) of qualification, you might ask the head of an appropriate department to give a quick-and-dirty analysis of her education and accomplishments. Emphasize strongly that you're NOT asking for a job, but rather for the benefit of the department head's expertise and suggestions (go back to school, focus on employment in a certain specialty, etc.).
