I would suggest that the forums are the only place that might advise to "try it yourself".
(My opinion, is to find the right lawyer ($8-10k?: we are talking about time & seniority, so it will pay back in time.)

Yes; Bachelors degree plus 5 years, considered equivalent (see link below).

Would appear to be mandatory for foreign degree to be formally evaluated (see link below).

Your lawyer should make sure that little is left to discretion.
Good luck everyone.
