    How Functional Equivalency can Get Your Client’s Visa Approved
    But what is functional equivalency?

    To answer this question, let’s take a look at what an educational equivalency actually is. For your client’s education to meet visa requirements, you must show that they either have the advanced US degree required for their specialty occupation, or
    its foreign equivalent. Sometimes, equivalencies across borders, educational systems, and cultures are far from straightforward and cannot simply be evaluated by hours or years or study. In these cases, you need to prove functional equivalency.

    An equivalency means that the candidate has the educational experience that has resulted in the same knowledge base and skill set required to work their specialty occupation that a US degree would result in. Equivalency is not always interpreted in a
    literal sense. Looking up correspondence between degree majors and titles only goes so far when your client has a degree or major that exists in their home country, but not in the United States.

    It is possible to device an equivalency based on an understanding of the role of the credential concerned as it functions within its native system, independently of what the major, degree, or title is called.
