Admission of Certain Nurses Seeking Nonimmigrant Classification Under the H-1A Category

This rule amends the Immigration and Naturalization Service (Service) regulations with regards to the admission of certain nurses seeking nonimmigrant classification under the H-1A classification. This rule is necessary because of a change in the method that the National Council of State Boards of Nursing employs in administering the permanent state licensure examination (NCLEX). In response to this change in testing procedures, this rule provides that nurses entering the United States on the basis of a temporary license issued by the state of intended employment must pass the NCLEX within six months after the date of their initial admission to the United States. The rule also clarifies for businesses and the general public the requirements for the admission of foreign nurses into the United States.
