Hello guys,
I am applying for the visa certificate now but I'm a bit lost. I have done my NCLEX and passed, sent all documentation to CGFNS and will take my TOEFL exam next 8th of October. My question now is:
- What will be the next step after having the visa screen certificate?
-Will the visa screen work as a green card?
-Should I find a job first to get a petition?
Thank you all

> Visa screen certificate is valid for 5 years, the US consular officer will look for it during your embassy interview
> It's one of the requirement in order to have an immigrant visa/ green card in the case of adjustment of status.
> Yes, you need to find an employer who file a petition in your behalf. Waiting time depends on your country of birth.

Visa screen certificate will not work as a green card. It is a federal requirement as part of the immigrant/work visa process. As mentioned it is valid for 5 years and you will need a employer to start process
