03/31/2004 HEALTHCARE IMMIGRATION ALERT:
SENATE URGES DELAY OF VISA SCREEN REGULATIONS
Leading members of Senate Judiciary Committee have drafted and sent a letter
to Tom Ridge, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) urging
him to delay the implementation of the forthcoming additional Visa Screen
regulations until October 1, 2005. A copy of this letter is attached to this
Immigration Alert.
The Committee terms the Visa Screen regulations as "redundant" and that the
implementation of the regulations will "have an adverse impact on a number
of states throughout the country that rely on foreign nurses."
The letter also hints that the Senate seeks to work with DHS and CGFNS to
ensure streamlined and efficient certification processes.
