12/06/2002 HEALTHCARE IMMIGRATION ALERT:
MELAB NO LONGER ACCEPTED IN LIEU OF TOEFL
The Michigan English Language Assessment Battery (MELAB) recently posted
on its website that it is no longer a valid alternative to the TOEFL exam
for foreign nationals seeking certification as a foreign health care worker.
The MELAB program has officially requested that the MELAB no longer be
recognized for the purpose of certifying healthcare workers. Those
considering registering for the test after November 27, 2002 should be aware
that the ELI will not send their scores to agencies involved with visa
screening for health care professionals.
Healthcare workers who have already taken the MELAB or who have already
scheduled a particular test date will not be affected by this policy change.
Healthcare workers who have registered but not yet scheduled a test date may
contact ELI by email or mail to request a full refund of test fees. For
these people, the ELI will not send MELAB score reports to agencies involved
with visa screening. The email for questions:
