It's not just Validential, other non-NACES or non-AICE members are acceptable, it depends... Here's a thread in regards to Validential and the last few posts are very informative, even Validential's CEO had responded to a couple or triple of our questions and concerns.

Again, there are a few states that will accept Validential for evaluations of foreign credits, it's not just Virginia that has this offering, but other states as well (noted in the last few posts on that link above). If you want to search the ENEB thread I mentioned in that post, you'll see links to other states and their education department listing non NACES and non AICE members authorized to evaluate international transcripts and other foreign credentials. Clear as mud, I know...
Do you know of any other universities or colleges in the State of Virginia that accept Validential evaluations? The Commonwealth of Virginia Education Board has its own set of high standards that may vary from boards of education in other states. Take the 90 graduate credit requirements for a doctoral degree in Virginia for instance. It would be reassuring to see other Virginia state-recognized schools accepting Validential or other non-NACES evaluators.
