Usually registrar fees for certified copies, courier or verification charges, and possibly a certified translation. A credential evaluation is a separate expense that may not be needed at all, so confirm with counsel before ordering one. Amounts vary by institution and provider and should be confirmed directly.
Confirm the need before paying for an evaluation
A missing transcript and an evaluation requirement are separate problems. An evaluator cannot invent evidence the institution has not issued. Conversely, a registrar’s confirmation does not waive the required reliable evaluation for a degree from an institution outside Canada, Mexico and the United States. Identify both the available proof and the applicable evaluation rule before ordering.
Government charges depend on the route chosen: a port-of-entry application carries the applicable border processing charge, while an employer-filed Form I-129 carries the petition fee in the USCIS fee schedule. Create two cost columns: official immigration charges supported by the current government fee schedule, and private amounts arising from the employment contract. The larger cost of the petition route is preparation: assembling the support letter, degree evaluation, organizational documents and any explanation of a staffing structure takes professional hours that the border route mostly avoids.
Paying more cannot turn an unlisted occupation into a listed one, cure a missing degree, or make the applicant independent of a U.S. business they control.
