my wife is applying for a visa screen certificate. Can someone tell us what type of details are included on the actual certificate.
 
Visa Screen

All the certificate states is The International Commission on healthcare Professions, a division of CGFNS blah blah blah certifies that "your wife" born on such a date, has met all of the requirments of section.....for the Profession of "Registered Nurse".
It\'s dated with a seal.
As far as I\'m concerned, it\'s a money grabber especially for those nurses already licensed and working in the US.
 
No Title

thank you. I agree it is a real money grabber and there seem to be no way around it. she is licensed in two states and has worked in the US for a year. Another question- if the certificate only mentioned
" Registered Nurse", why do they want to know of all your studies since high school. In the case of my wife she did midwifery and OR training in a country different from where she did her basic nursing training. To include all that on the application form they sent will only result in delay getting those transcripts. we are tempted to only mention the RN training. Any advice on that?
 
Visa Screen

Yup, they want everything. I was licensed in 3 states and still had to provide the Visa Screen with my high school and university transcripts. However, I didn\'t provide my transcripts from the university where I studied biochemistry. Oops, I "forgot" to mention it on the application *hehehehe. I also had to get a letter from my nursing organization in my home province stating I was a nurse, and also a letter from my initial license in the US. Since I came from Canada and speak English, I didn\'t have to write the TOEFL, and since I already wrote the NCLEX, I didn\'t have to write the CGFNS. All of this is crazy if you ask me!
