VSC in Ca

If the nurse has a valid visa (on which nurse is allowed to work in USA), then there is no point in applying for a VisaScreen. Please note that there are many visas on which the visa holder is not allowed to work.

There are some talks about making the Visascreen mandatory for any foreign nurse from non-english speaking countries, irrespective whether the nurse has valid work permit in U.S or not. But it is not implemented yet. There were some cases, where the husband and wife were nurses and the one who is more good in English complete VS and apply as the 'Primary' applicant so the spouse can 'sneak in' with valid GC, even if the spouse has very minimal English skills. It seems, NCSBN want to avoid that.

hi guys. this is my first posting and i'm actually asking this for a friend of

mine cause i don't know the answer.

what's the point of getting a VSC when she's got a visa to the US? if

california does not need CGFNS she doesn't see the point of applying

for the VSC. i thought she made sense. She already passed her nclex.

care to put in your thoughts?

this is a great site, i've recommended the site to all the nurses back in the

phils.

thanks. i'm emailing her your reply. she's still back home and i guess she

wouldn't reallly be happy about having to wait for months again to do the

VSC.

and thanks too suzanne for your help ( re: previous pm)

Visa Screen Certificate is requirement to have a green card. If you're friend is a greencard holder or U.S. Citizen already she doesn't need a VSC. Simple as that!
