Skill Verification Letter

For alumni who are beginning the process to apply for Permanent Residency (or H1B Visa) with an Employer, the legal team may request you to obtain a verification of skills obtained during your degree. If you are in this process, follow the steps in the link above to request a Skill Verification Letter (SVL).

Processing time is approximately 4 weeks.

Through skill verification, we can only verify TPS courses with these prefixes: AMT, ALT, EGR, ERM, GIT, HSE, IFT, TEM. If you completed coursework through another school and need to request skill verification for that course, you will need to reach out to the school who owns that prefix.
