Form I-905 | Application for Authorization to Issue Certification for Health Care Workers

Form I-905 | Application for Authorization to Issue Certification for Health Care Workers

Purpose of Form

All health workers in the US have to meet some requirements in order to ensure that they have the appropriate qualification and meet the state standards in healthcare. The US sets these requirements in order to make sure that people get a high-quality and professional care. These measures also minimize any risks of medical errors. So, non-US health care employees also have to prove that their skills and qualification are enough to practice in the US. 

Special Instructions

There are a lot of organizations which give you a possibility to prove eligibility of your certification in the US. However, these organizations also have to verify their qualification to work in this field and issue medical certification, that’s why they have to fill USCIS Form I-905 (Application for Authorization to Issue Certification for Health Care Workers).

Common filing mistakes

  • Using an outdated USCIS edition of the form.
  • Leaving required fields blank or mixing typed and handwritten answers inconsistently.
  • Forgetting the signature, supporting evidence, or the correct filing fee.
