我刚从physical therapy program 毕业,是在美国拿的文凭。目前是H4签证,绿卡485 已递,正在pending。我好不容易要拿到一份心仪的工作offer了,Human Resource 的人说除了EAD 以外,护
士,理疗师什么的可能还需要USCIS 批准的health Care Worker Certification.
USCIS的官方网站上说:
Questions and Answers about Exemptions for Certain Health Care Workers
Q: Are foreign health care workers - trained in the United States or in
possession of a valid state license - subject to the health care
certification requirement?
A: Yes. While Congress provided certain nurses with a less rigorous,
alternative certification process, it did not provide a less rigorous
alternative certification option to state-licensed foreign health care
workers. Possession of a state license does not exempt a foreign health care
worker from compliance with the certification requirement. Similarly,
health care workers who have been trained in the United States are not
exempt from the certification requirement.

Q: Are dependents subject to the health care worker certification
requirement?
A: No. For example, if you are here as an L-2 nonimmigrant, your primary
purpose for entering the United States is to join your spouse. Since an L-2
nonimmigrant spouse is authorized employment, you may engage in employment
as a health care worker without obtaining the certification. This will also
apply to other dependents who are accompanying a principal alien and who are
employment authorized within their dependent status。

我的理解是我不需要他们sponsor 签证,应该不用申请这个,拿 EAD 工作就可以了。
我很迷惑到底我需不需要申请, 请各位大虾帮着分析分析!
