Hi, has anyone successfully convalidated a degree from from an American university?  How did you do it?  I’m in the process of convalidating a degree from an American university.  I got got a letter from the ministry of education (MEC) saying I need the follwing:

-copia compulsada del t?tulo original cuya homologaci?n se solicita.  El original de este documento debe estar previamente legalizado.
-copia compulsada de la certificaci?n acad?mica de los estudios realizados poe el solicitante para la obtenci?n del t?tulo, en el que conste, entre otros extremos, la duraci?n oficial en a?os acad?micos, del plan de estudios seguidos, las asignaturas cursaadas y la carga horaria de cada una de ellas (el documento presentado carece del dato acerca de la duraci?n oficial).  El original de este documento debe estar previamente legalizado.

I understand ‘legalizado’ to mean an apostille.  Both documents were apostilled.  What more do they want? 
Transcripts don’t say what the official duration of a course of study is(at least mine doesn’t).  That’s information you can find in the catalog. 

If anyone has succeeded in convalidating a degree from an American university, please tell me exactly what you did.  Thank you thank you thankyou.
