Very few US states require CGFNS exam, most require a credentials assessment by CGFNS. All US states require passing of the NCLEX exam. No other country utilizes CGFNS for credentials assessment. Do you have a BSN? (BSN is minimum degree for most work visas in most countries)

What country do you currently live & work? I am guessing you do not have a work visa for the US, right?

With the current economic status of US and much of the world your barrier to getting a job will be the high unemployment rates and low number of positions. Your visual impairment will not be a significant barrier if you have already demonstrated clinical competency as evidenced by your 7 year work history.

What is an industrial nurse? Do you work in a hospital? Or do you work in a factory and provide services to staff there? (That would be an occupational health nurse). Occupational health nurse is not a high demand specialty in the US. The specialty positions most often seeking experienced nurses are OR, critical care (NICU, PICU, CCU, civic I, SICU, ICU, etc), emergency, LDRP/maternal-child.

Depending on your country of birth, the wait for an EB3 work visa (visa most BSN educated nurses fall under) can be 2-15 years. Those born in India & Philippines have the longest wait.

As far as immigration & customs, I don't think visual impairment would bar you from entering the country like a communicable disease or a criminal conviction would.
