Schedule A :
The Schedule A category is for nurses and
physical therapists. Nurses and physical therapists are listed
as shortage occupations and therefore do not need to undergo

therapists can obtain their green cards very quickly.
For whom is Schedule A
appropriate?
Registered nurses and physical therapists with
a job offer from a US employer.
What are the requirements for
obtaining a Schedule A Visa?
For a nurse to obtain permanent
residency through the Schedule A category, the applicant must
meet the following requirements :
He or she must have a diploma from a
nursing school in his or her country;
Have a RN license in his or her country; and
Have a full and unrestricted license to practice
professional nursing in the state of intended
employment, or a certification that she has passed the
examination given by the Commission on Graduates of
Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS), or evidence that she
has passed the NCLEX-RN licensing examination but cannot
obtain a license because she lacks a social security
number.
For a physical therapist to
obtain permanent residency through the Schedule A
category, the applicant must meet the following
requirements :
He or she must have a bachelor’s degree in physical
therapy or the equivalent; and
Have a license to practice in his or her state of
