The shortage of registered nurses in the U.S., which has reached alarming levels in recent years,
prompting the government to decide to reactivate a special visa for these professionals graduated
abroad, the H1-C, which allows them to work temporarily in U.S. medical centers for a maximum
period of three years.

The Federal Department of Health and Human Services (Department of Health and Human
Services) estimates that 1.4 million nurses will be needed nationwide by 2010, but only 656,000 will
be working. The main concern is that the population of nurses is aging and young people entering
the profession has been declining.

For the H1-C visa is required for a hospital, clinic or equivalent and enter sponsor serve as a
petition (I-129) by the foreign nurse to the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
Under this visa, a nurse may only work for those who asked for it, but if you have more of a
potential employer must enter each separate request for a nurse to labor for both simultaneously.
This visa is not transferable between employers and grants to spouses and children under 21 years
of his carrier, H-4 visas do not allow escort work.

There is the possibility of applying for permanent residence (green card) under the preference
employment-based immigration three, for professional or skilled workers (EB3). It also needs a
sponsor to get a green card and meet the same precautions as for H1-C visa, but with the
advantage of labor certification is not required, because it is a profession in demand in the market
and therefore the procedure is more expedient. The spouse and children under 21 years of foreign
nurse also obtained permanent residence.

Those who get the H1-C visa, as a first step, can then begin the process of obtaining residency
based on employment and change of status while in the U.S. working. The request for residence
may be from the beginning also, if the employer is played by the nurse and she can be outside or
inside the United States (must have legal status). But the steps to be followed will depend on where
the applicant for an immigrant visa or green card. An additional requirement to get residency
required is to have a VisaScreen certificate issued by the Commission on Graduates of Foreign
Nursing Schools (Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools - CGFNS). In this confirms
that the education, licensing and training obtained in their country are equivalent to those prevailing
in the U.S. and that the level and proficiency in spoken and written English are appropriate to
practice professional nursing in this country.

The key to the H1-C visa is to leave the country where they studied nursing and have passed the
NCLEX examination may be done by CGFNS to certify its program for foreign nurses or directly
with the Board of Nursing in each state, according to the instructions provided by that entity. You
also get the H1-C visa if you have obtained a permanent license without restrictions to practice in
the state where it intends to work or have studied in that race in America. By obtaining the visa, the
bearer of the H1-C must obtain the license granted by the state Board of Nursing where she
worked.

Having thorough knowledge of English is a requirement of gold in order to address the path of
certification and licensing. Each state has its regulations on English proficiency test. For example, in
Florida must demonstrate English proficiency by one of the following documents: 1-A minimum
score of 540 (207 in computerized form) in the Test of English examination as a Foreign Language
(TOEFL). 2 - A minimum score of 79% in the Michigan English Language Assessment Battery
(MELAB). 3 - A minimum score of MELAB converted 79% on the Michigan Examination for the
Certificate of Proficiency in English (ECPE). A minimum score of 725 on the Test of English for
International Communication (TOEIC). 4-A score of at least 6.5 overall with a 7.0 on the spoken
portion of the academic version of International English Language Testing System (IELTS). 5 -
Proof of completion of a nursing program in English in another country. 6 - A passing score on an
examination for licensing of nursing that has been given in English (in another country). 7 - Provide
a certificate from the certificate of the Commission on Graduates from Foreign Nursing Schools or
other agency which indicates successful passage of the TOEFL, TOEIC or IELTS. 8 - Have
completed a course in academic English at college level (college) in a U.S. institution (original
certificate). 9 - Have completed a course in English as a Second Language (ESOL) to level IV
(original certificate).

The CGFNS certification is responsible for these health professionals so they can then present the
NCLEX-RN (state), whose approval results in the granting of a license to practice in the U.S., but
each state has its regulations with relation to this. For example, in Florida and do not require
certification in order to have that license, they can do the paperwork directly and with the Board of
Nursing (Board of Nursing of Florida). Indicates that the CGFNS certification program that relates to
them consists of three stages: the TOEFL, pass a review of educational credentials (which makes
this organization) and take and pass the CGFNS Qualifying Exam (qualifying examination) having a
day. If foreign nurses successfully complete these steps, you are awarded a certificate from the
CGFNS, absolute requirement for H1-C visa or permanent residence based on employment (in this
case also need the VisaScreen certificate from CGFNS), and then to register and submit the final
exam that will allow them to obtain the compulsory license to practice (the NCLEX-RN) in Florida.
