When I arrived in the US, over 30 years ago, with a PhD from an Eastern European country, I was advised to not mention it on my resume. Too much school without American experience was (still is?!?) frowned upon, by private businesses, as they were concerned about losing highly educated individuals, once they got "off the ground". Advice worked wonders, and the PhD was eventually used to just skip a few core requirements for a degree in a different field.
