FCSA created the Electronic Database for Global Education (EDGE) in 2004; the only juried resource on foreign education systems in the U.S. We provided it to the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admission Officers (AACRAO) and we continue to participate in the updating of and providing additional information to EDGE on a bi-weekly basis. Learn more about EDGE here.
USCIS follows the placement recommendations found in EDGE in determining sufficient qualifications to grant work (H1B) visas. FCSA trained the Adjudication Staff of USCIS.
FCSA evaluators have more than 200 years of experience in evaluating foreign educational and professional qualifications. All of the FCSA evaluators have worked at U.S. colleges and universities in evaluating foreign credentials.
Moreover, our team has provided comprehensive training and support to USCIS staff, as well as foreign credential evaluators at higher education institutions and professional licensing boards.
Our mission is to ensure the veracity, consistency, and integrity of international credential evaluations. And we are here to support you and your clients every step of the way.
