Are there any educational requirements imposed by the INS as a prerequisite for the issuance of H-1B work visas and Green Cards?
Yes. The applicant must have obtained at least a bachelor’s degree in his/her specialty from a recognized university or medical school. The university/medical schools required curriculum, for the diploma awarded, is then evaluated by an accredited education evaluation entity in the United States. The final evaluation must rate the education received to be comparable to United States educational standards. Without such positive determination, the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service will not issue a work visa. Essentially the same process applies to evaluating the education of registered nurses applying for Green Cards.
