English requirement waived for certain VisaScreen® renewal applicants
Beginning 1 March 2010, VisaScreen® renewal applicants who can demonstrate employment in the United States in the health care profession that is designated on their ICHP VisaScreen® certificate do not have to take another approved English exam for renewal of their VisaScreen® certificate if the following criteria are met.
The period of employment must be for at least 27–36 months — including nine months of the year before the date an applicant submits the renewal application. They will need to have their employer submit an employment summary on corporate letterhead with the appropriate signature for the English requirement to be waived.
CGFNS has made the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services aware of this policy change.
