Make sure your VisaScreen®: Visa Credentials Assessment certificate is current

CGFNS International has received a number of urgent VisaScreen® renewal requests from applicants in the visa queue whose priority dates are becoming current.

A VisaScreen Certificate is valid for five years from the date that it is issued. After five years the certificate will expire and you may need to be recertified if you have not obtained U.S. citizenship, a permanent visa (Green Card), or wish to renew a temporary occupational visa, including Trade NAFTA status to continue working in the United States. The primary method of updating your VisaScreen certification is by placing a VisaScreen Renewal order.

Save the cost associated with Expedited Review and renew early.

The renewal order can be placed in the year prior to your certificate’s expiration date or within six months after the expiration date. We recommend allowing six months for a renewal order to be completed. Upon payment of a renewal order, you will have one year to submit the necessary requirements. Requirements for renewal include:

• An updated passport photograph
• Updated validations of every license you have held including both expired licenses and licenses validated for a previous order if the validation on file is more than three years
• Updated proof of English proficiency (if applicable, some applicants may be exempt from this requirement)
