Immigration regulations require
that when filing a nonimmigrant or immigrant petition for certain health care occupations,
including Registered Nurses, the Petitioner must include a healthcare worker’s certificate
(sometimes called a VisaScreen) from an authorized credentialing organization
for the Beneficiary listed in the petition.
The Commission on Graduates of
Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS), the National Board for Certification in
Occupational Therapy (NBCOT), and the Foreign Credentialing Commission on
Physical Therapy (FCCPT), were previously the only authorized credentialing
organizations listed in the immigration regulations.
On July 22, 2021, USCIS approved the application for Josef Silny
Associates, Inc., to be added to the list of organizations authorized to issue
certificates and certified statements for Registered Nurses.
