There's some disagreement on this topic, but the consensus is: if the foreign school you graduated from is on the US Dept. of Education" list of eligible institutions, then you have completed 4 years of post secondary education and are not eligible for the AOC. Otherwise , you do qualify.
Enter your school at the link below, to see if it's on the dept. of education list.
