Westwood Evaluations offers five types of evaluations:
1. Academic Evaluation

3. Combined academic and work-experience Evaluation
4. Evaluation of a Professional position
5. Expert Opinion Letter

Academic Evaluation
Academic Evaluations include the institutional experience of the candidate, as well as transcripts with courses completed, diplomas or certificates, and the degree equivalency received in the United States.

Work-experience Evaluation
Work-experience Evaluations include the candidate's professional experience, and the degree equivalency received in the United States in accordance with the INS regulation 8CFR214.2(h)(4)(iii)(DX)(5).

Positional Evaluations
Positional Evaluations analyze the job duties of a particular position and determine it to be a “specialty occupation”. An expert evaluator will determine whether or not the job duties of the position are so complex that only an individual with a Bachelor’s Degree or higher could fill that position. In order to perform such an evaluation, the employer must normally require a degree to work in that position and the employee must have a Bachelor’s Degree in that specific field.

Expert Opinion Letters
Expert Opinion Letters assess the accomplishments of an individual in relation to those of his peers, and others in the field. These letters are used to support cases for extraordinary ability aliens, national interest waivers, outstanding researchers, labor certifications, and O-1 classifications. Each letter is written by an expert or professional in a given field, and is written to the specifications of the client.

-Our company uses university professors to evaluate and review the candidate's credentials, be it academic, work-experience, or both, and determines the degree and acceptance of the candidate to the United States.

-The standard completion time of an evaluation is three days. At that time, the evaluation will be faxed and mailed back to the attorney. Additionally, express mail service is available upon request only.
