Given the retrogression of 2 years in visa availability, when should a nurse take the English proficiency test?
A. A visa screen is valid for five (5) years. Ideally, take it a year before the priority date becomes current. As noted in a prior column, you will need the visa screen at the time of interview before the American Consul. However, any nurse intending to settle and work in the United States should be ready to accept the possibility of any additional expenses because the visa is not yet forthcoming. It is not really possible to accurately predict when the visa will be available.
