You need to provide more information before we can help you. What do you mean, "US immigrant" - are you already in the US? What status/type of visa do you have? What state are you planning to apply for nursing license? Where did you do your training? Have you applied for licensure and completed NCLEX yet?
Hi guys! I am a nurse in the Philippines who is seeking to obtain my permanent residence status based on my relationship (fiancee) to a U.S. citizen. I'm planning to take my NCLEX in Maryland. Do I still need to obtain a VisaScreen® certificate? and Is it necessary for me to take IELTS and CGFNS?
There is no such status as "US immigrant". Your status will be "conditional permanent resident" once you marry and adjust status.
You will need to do whatever requirements Maryland has for applicants who were trained overseas. If they need CES, you have to get it. If they need IELTs, you have to do it.
The only thing you do not need as a PR via marriage to USC is the Visa Screen Certificate (VSC) from CGFNS, which saves you several hundred dollars.
