That's a bit of a doozy, for sure. CHEA is not actually an accreditor, but an association of accreditors. An accrediting agency having full membership in CHEA is a good start, for potential recognition in the US. AFAIK there are not non-US accreditors that enjoy automatic and full acceptance in the US, rather "foreign credentials" are evaluated by independent organizations, on a credential-by-credential basis for equivalency and usage in academia and employment. For the most part though, unless you're in a skilled (note: licensed) profession, most employers wont blink twice (unless you're claiming a very advanced degree -- or several -- from obviously dubious institutions).
