Most people think their degree is enough.

But in U.S. immigration, it’s not always that simple.

An expert opinion letter helps explain your education or work experience in a way that U.S. reviewers can understand.

It’s often used when:
-> Your degree is from another country
-> Your experience matters as much as your education
-> Or your case gets questioned

Reviewed by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, this document focuses on clarity, not promotion.

Simple truth:
It’s not about what you have.
It’s about how clearly it’s explained

If you've received a Request for Evidence (RFE) from USCIS, here's something important to know: you don't always need a lawyer to respond but you do need to respond carefully.

𝙔𝙊𝙐 𝙈𝘼𝙔 𝘽𝙀 𝘼𝘽𝙇𝙀 𝙏𝙊 𝙃𝘼𝙉𝘿𝙇𝙀 𝙄𝙏 𝙔𝙊𝙐𝙍𝙎𝙀𝙇𝙁 𝙄𝙁 𝙐𝙎𝘾𝙄𝙎 𝙄𝙎 𝘼𝙎𝙆𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝙁𝙊𝙍:
-> A missing birth certificate or marriage certificate
-> Updated bank statements or tax returns
-> A completed medical examination form
-> Photos or identity documents
These are administrative requests. With careful preparation and a clear cover letter, many applicants handle them on their own.

𝙔𝙊𝙐 𝙎𝙃𝙊𝙐𝙇𝘿 𝘾𝙊𝙉𝙎𝙄𝘿𝙀𝙍 𝙋𝙍𝙊𝙁𝙀𝙎𝙎𝙄𝙊𝙉𝘼𝙇 𝙃𝙀𝙇𝙋 𝙄𝙁 𝙔𝙊𝙐𝙍 𝙍𝙁𝙀 𝙄𝙉𝙑𝙊𝙇𝙑𝙀𝙎:
-> Questions about your immigration status
-> Whether your job qualifies for your visa category
-> Inconsistencies between your filings
-> A request for an expert opinion letter
-> Educational credential questions

𝘾𝙊𝙈𝙈𝙊𝙉 𝙈𝙄𝙎𝙏𝘼𝙆𝙀𝙎 𝙏𝙊 𝘼𝙑𝙊𝙄𝘿:
-> Leaving any RFE point unanswered
-> Submitting documents without explaining what they show
-> Missing the response deadline. No extensions in most cases
-> Forgetting certified translations for foreign-language documents
If your RFE involves education or credentials, a credential evaluation report or expert opinion letter can be an important part of your response. At The Degree People, we prepare these documents to meet USCIS documentation standards.
