Visa Screen Certificate required for filing I140

I received this e-mail saying:

Hello,

This is to update you that the UCSIS currently requires nurses to have

a Visa Screen certificate prior to filing for the I140 petition. The

certificate is acquired when passing the English and CGFNS exam and/or

the Nclex RN Board exam. You may apply for the Visa Screen certificate

online at http://www.cgfns.org or please contact me for an application; I will gladly forward it to you. It's my pleasure to assist and guide you in every

aspect.

I'm here to provide you with support towards every step of your

process.

Best Regards,

(name withheld)

IS THIS TRUE?

I somehow doubt this.

the visa screen certificate is needed when filing the I-485 during an Adjustment of Status for foreign nurses in the US BUT is NOT necessary for I-140 filing for consular processing (those nurses outside the US) but will be required during interview at the US embassy in Manila.

Thanks, Jon..that's what I know too. I think this agency is fooling me to make certain that I have Visa Screen before they petition me. Thanks God, I didn't sign the contract yet.
