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).
