I am applying for my TN Visa as a Registered Nurse. For the Visa Screen requirement, do I need to take all my credentials or just my CGFNS certificate?
Answer:
As a Registered Nurse applying for a TN Visa, you may be wondering if you need to provide all of your nursing credentials or just your CGFNS (Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools) certificate for the VisaScreen requirement.
The good news is that you only need to provide your VisaScreen certificate. This certificate confirms that your nursing credentials and qualifications have been evaluated by an authorized organization like CGFNS, and that you meet the educational and professional requirements for your intended employment as a Registered Nurse in the United States.
As explained in the TN Visa Expert Kit, it is a good practice to bring along all of your relevant nursing credentials to your visa interview. This is not strictly required, but it can provide additional proof of your qualifications and give you peace of mind. Relevant credentials may include your diplomas, transcripts, and any additional certificates.
In addition to the VisaScreen certificate and your nursing credentials, you will also need to provide supporting documentation to show that you meet the specific requirements outlined in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) for the TN Visa. This typically includes evidence of your job offer as a Registered Nurse in the United States and proof of your Canadian or Mexican citizenship. These supporting documents are essential to demonstrate your eligibility for the TN Visa beyond the VisaScreen certificate.
Summary:
- For the VisaScreen requirement, you only need to provide your VisaScreen certificate.
- It is a good practice to have all of your nursing credentials on hand during the visa interview.
- You will also need to provide supporting documentation to show that you meet the specific requirements outlined in NAFTA for the TN Visa.
