I am a canadian and started to hunt for US jobs hoping to get TN visa.
The IT diploma I have is from UK, so I contacted a company for diploma equivalency with my diploma scans and transcripts. Got the following response
We can issue an equivalency of a BS in IT, but unfortunately I would expect that you will have trouble when going to your interview. The officer is unlikely to be familiar with this qualification, and will likely argue that it is not a “degree” from a “university”. The qualification is also not listed on EDGE, and I assume there are no detailed transcripts. We would issue the equivalency on the basis of this being considered at par with a British bachelor’s degree, but the TN officer may ultimately disagree.
The diploma I have is "PGD in IT from British Computer Society"
Wanted to know from people who have crossed borders with diploma in IT jobs. If the border agent will argue on the original then whats the point to make equivalency? Also we make equivalency when degree/diploma is not from North America and we dont expect them to know all diplomas from the world.
Thoughts ?
