Applying for the NURSE GREEN CARD with the USCIS.
What is it:
The Department of Labor (DOL) maintains a schedule
of occupations in its regulations for which the individual
permanent labor certification procedure is not required.
The schedule of precertified occupations is referred
to as Schedule A, and is included in DOL regulations
at 20 CFR 656.10.
Based on an occupation's inclusion on Schedule A, an
employer may file an immigrant visa petition (I-140)
directly with the Immigration & Naturalization Service
(USCIS) without first going to DOL for a labor certification.
The position of Professional Nurses is included on
Schedule A.
Who Qualifies:
For Professional Nurses, the Professional Nurse must
have passed the examination given by the Commission
on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS) or must
have a full, unrestricted license to practice nursing
in the state of intended employment.
This category consists of professional or registered
nurses only.
A licensed practical nurse is not considered a Professional
Nurse under this category.
The Nurse must possess:
1) A diploma from a nursing school in her country;
2) An RN license in her country; and
3) A full and unrestricted license to practice professional
nursing in the state of intended employment, or a certification
that she has passed the examination given by the Commission
on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS).

The Application Process if the Nurse
is Outside the U.S.:
The Employer files the Form I-140 and Form ETA 750
Parts A and B with the USCIS.
Once the USCIS approves the I-140 Petition (3-6 months),
the USCIS first sends the I-140 Petition to the National
Visa Center (NVC) in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
If there is no backlog for immigrant visas from the
RN's native country (her "priority date" is
"current"), the NVC forwards a packet to the
nurse or her attorney containing biographical information
forms to be completed by her and her family members,
and a list of documents which must be presented at her
interview for permanent residence.
The RN sends the signed and completed forms to the
U.S. consulate where the nurse will have her interview
for permanent residence.
At this interview, the nurse must present various documents
including the following:
a. Application for Immigrant Visa
b. Police Clearance
c. Birth Certificate
d. Marriage Certificate, if any
e. Divorce or Death Certificate of Spouse, if any
f. Valid Passport
g. Medical Examination
h. USCIS Photographs
i. Recent job offer letter (or employment contract)

k. Government filing fee
l. VisaScreen Certificate
