The Green Card Scheme Facts

There is a possibility that you can get Green Card during your work period or studies period but you have to qualify for it first. There is point based system for it. Let us get to the point system.

The Conditions For Every One

The Education Level 

1. You should keep in mind that every country has it's own academic level of degrees, even if your degree has same title for like MBA, ACCA etc.  It may not hold same value in Denmark. So it becomes important that your education level must be assessed by Danish Agency for International Education.

2. If the degree you hold is less then the standard of Denmark's Bachelor's Degree then you will have very less chance of getting a green card.

3. If you are coming from Pakistan and India and you hold a Masters Degree, Danish Agency for International Education will judge your degree as equivalent to 2 years bachelors degree. Sigh :(.

4. If you want to make your assessment good, a good luck chance, make colour copies of your documents and then send them. Some thing which I learnt on the way.

5. What Documents you will be needing when you want the Danish Agency to assess your level of education ? All relevant documents of your educational history and these all should be in English and if your documents are not in English then translate them by getting a certificate for it. It's a must you know.  For Pakistani individuals keep in mind that documents should be attested by HEC ( Higher Education Commission) Pakistan.
