QVP With Two Degrees: Which Qualification Should You Submit?
QVP with two degrees requires a clear, case-specific plan. Start with the occupation and the exact awards you hold. Ask which qualification should support the application before paying for unnecessary checks; the highest qualification is not automatically the most relevant one.

QVP with two degrees: what to establish first
Professionals often have a bachelor’s degree in one field and a master’s degree in another. Some also hold a professional designation that looks similar to an academic qualification. The practical challenge is to describe these credentials accurately without implying that they are interchangeable. A short qualification map makes the question easier for the employer and verification service to answer. It also gives you a record of why a particular award was selected.
Qiwa’s guidance distinguishes source verification, qualification-level alignment and occupation alignment. Read the official guidance.
The preparation steps below are editorial recommendations. The live service checklist and case-specific instructions determine what must be submitted.
Your practical QVP action plan
1. List each award exactly
Copy the official title, awarding institution and completion date. Do not convert a diploma into a degree or shorten an unfamiliar title into a different award.
2. Map the study sequence
Show which award came first and whether one qualification was an entry requirement for another. Keep transcripts attached to the correct award.
3. Separate professional credentials
Record a chartered status or industry certificate in its own row, rather than presenting it as an academic degree.
4. Confirm the intended occupation
Ask the employer for the role details used in the application. A marketing title may not explain the underlying professional classification.
5. Ask a specific selection question
Present the qualification map and ask which award or combination is required. Keep the written answer with the case.
6. Submit a coherent file
Follow that instruction and the live checklist. If further records are requested, label them as additional evidence rather than silently replacing the original qualification.
Document-readiness checklist
Use this as a preparation inventory, not a universal list of mandatory uploads. Mark what you have, what must come from an issuer and what needs clarification before you spend money.
| No. | Record to organise | Your status |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Qualification comparison table with award dates | Available / requested / needs clarification |
| 2 | Separate transcript for each relevant award | Available / requested / needs clarification |
| 3 | Confirmed occupation or employer request | Available / requested / needs clarification |
| 4 | Written clarification about the selected qualification | Available / requested / needs clarification |
| 5 | Institutional contacts for each awarding body | Available / requested / needs clarification |
Mistakes and assumptions to avoid
Do not choose a credential simply because its university is better known. Do not claim that an MBA overrides a technical requirement or that a professional membership always substitutes for a degree. Where the relationship between an award and the job is uncertain, an honest explanation is stronger than changing the wording on a certificate or application.
An illustrative case: how the checklist helps
An illustrative US graduate has a mechanical engineering bachelor’s degree and an MBA. For a Saudi technical-management role, the employer asks for evidence of both engineering education and management experience. The applicant creates separate rows and requests a clear instruction about the qualification to verify. This avoids mixing the MBA transcript with the engineering award and makes any further request easier to answer.
This example explains a preparation method. It is not a customer testimonial, an official precedent or a promised outcome.
Prepare a useful enquiry and a clear quote
For a first enquiry, describe the awarding country, qualification or membership, intended use, current stage and the exact question blocking progress. If you already have a reference, retain it for the secure case discussion. Do not send passwords, authentication codes or a complete identity bundle in an initial public message.
Ask for a written scope separating document review, translation or institutional coordination from official fees and third-party charges. State your target date, but distinguish that preference from a confirmed processing commitment. Legal Visa Services can discuss a case-specific support plan; decisions remain with the relevant authority.

15 frequently asked questions
Should I always submit my highest degree for QVP?
No automatic rule should be assumed. Confirm the qualification needed for the intended occupation.
Can I list both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees?
Prepare both accurately, then follow the portal and case-specific instructions about submission.
Does an MBA replace an engineering degree?
Do not assume it does. Ask how the intended role’s qualification requirements apply.

No. Describe the awarding body and credential type accurately and seek the applicable route.
What if my degrees are from different countries?
Keep separate institution contacts, transcripts and country details for each award.
Should I combine all transcripts into one unlabelled file?
No. Use clear labels and the file format requested so records remain attributable to the correct award.

Use an accurate translation without changing the academic level or subject.
What if the portal has no exact subject option?
Ask support how to record the award rather than choosing a misleading subject.

No. More qualifications do not remove the need for accurate, relevant evidence.
Can an employer decide which award is relevant?
The employer can clarify the role, while the responsible service determines its verification requirements.

Confirm the required scope first and request an itemised explanation of any separate charges.
