Who needs a VisaScreen and when?
At present only applicants for immigrant visa or those applying for adjustment of status to permanent resident are required to obtain VisaScreen certificate. It will be required for H-1B applicants beginning July 27, 2004. The applicant needs to present a VisaScreen certificate to a consular office or, in the case of adjustment of status, the Attorney General as part of a visa application. VisaScreen is needed when appearing at the Consular interview -or the AOS if in the US. (The RN should proceed with the VisaScreen Application as soon as the I-140 application is filed.)
