Default Foreign bachelor degree

Has anyone gone through the process of evaluating their foreign post secondary degree for US equivalency?

Will United ask for this after I have submitted my application or do they expect it to be uploaded in the EDUCATION section of the online application form?

I'm not sure how detailed the report has to be, whether just a verification of US equivalency, or with the GPA included, or with the grades of each course included too? The price depends on the type of service I require.

Will United delay my application process if I haven't done this? The process could take months because of mailing and processing times of documents from the university --> company that does the verification --> my home address. I should probably get started on this but seeking for some wisdom before potentially dropping a few hundred bucks.

Thanks for sharing your experience with this.

You run the risk of overthinking this.

1. Copy of Bachelor degree
2. Copy of Grade report
3. Submit via credentialing company (I used www.acei-global.org)

I just received the invite. I don't have a degree, but this is cut and pasted from the interview instructions. To be submitted prior to interview.
"Foreign Transcripts – All foreign transcripts need to be evaluated for United States equivalency and overall authenticity. If you possess foreign transcripts, please bring evaluated credentials to your interview.
No mention of GPA or course breakdown but for the sake of a couple extra Benjamin's might be worth it just in case.
So you won't need it before you do the Hogan and get the invite. If you get the invite I would just email them and explain you are waiting on your transcripts. Someone in the know might want to comment but I doubt they would delay your interview when they are interviewing
​​​​​​folks like me without a degree.

Thanks! This is what I need to hear. Are you military? How much total time, turbine, and TPIC do you have? Good luck with your interview.

Just an old timer going on 50 with 13k hours. No recommendations either, but coming from another Major which probably helps.
