🇱🇰 Sri Lanka → United States

Build a United States-Ready CV from Sri Lanka

From Sri Lanka, a the US CV is usually for a scholarship, a skilled role, or nursing migration. This guide leads with that — and keeps one detail accurate: your degree is UGC-recognised (Sri Lanka's University Grants Commission), not Pakistan's HEC.

Right now, a robot (an ATS) is deleting your CV before a human in United States ever reads it — not because you're not good enough, but because your CV doesn't speak its language. AlmiCV fixes that.

The price trap of traditional builders

Resume.io charges around $30 every 4 weeks — roughly $389 a year. Zety bills you weekly and traps your finished document behind an unannounced download paywall.

AlmiCV charges $7 flat per month. No download walls. No tricks. We want you to stay because we're good — not because you're trapped.

The invisible gate

Around 75% of resumes are filtered out by ATS software before a human ever sees them. Every silent rejection means a machine threw your document out in seconds — over formatting or missing keywords.

AlmiCV ends the guessing. Our resume checker reviews your document the way company software does, flagging problems instantly so you fix them live — before you hit apply.

Coming from Sri Lanka: scholarship, skilled and nursing CVs for the US

Whether it's a funded place, a skilled role or a nursing post in the US, the CV has to present a UGC-recognised record clearly and, for healthcare, foreground the registration path.

Academic / scholarship CV: lead with your UGC-recognised degree, grade, research and publications — verifiable throughout.
Nursing CV: put your SLMC registration, clinical hours and specialties up front, with the the US registration path (CGFNS and the NCLEX-RN).
Skilled resume: ATS-friendly layout, quantified outcomes, and the job description's keywords.
List your UGC-recognised degree (Sri Lanka's University Grants Commission — not Pakistan's HEC) with institution and dates; for nursing, state your SLMC registration.
Leave the photo, date of birth and marital status off — screens in the US judge on experience, and these details can work against you. The conventions panel below has the specifics.

Honesty check: No CV can guarantee an interview, and no honest service will promise one — what a strong, ATS-friendly CV does is make sure a real human (and the software in front of them) can actually read your experience. AI suggestions here are a draft to review and verify, never something to send unread. Registration (CGFNS and the NCLEX-RN) and scholarships are separate from the CV — confirm requirements on the official source and avoid any fee-charging "guarantee".
