Digital VisaScreen® Certificate

To improve services to our applicants, CGFNS International has developed a digital VisaScreen® certificate, which has been approved by the United States Citizen and Immigration Services (USCIS). Providing online access to your VisaScreen® certificate will enable efficiencies and convenience in the use of this service. For example, rather than having to wait for a mail courier to deliver your printed VisaScreen® certificate, the digital version will be available to use immediately upon approval. And if your certificate needs to be changed, the updated version will be available almost immediately, as well.

Once you are approved to receive a VisaScreen® certificate, a PDF version will appear in your CGFNS Online account. You will be asked to download and print this version, which will include a QR Code, photo and other important information about you, and take it with you to your embassy or consular interview and when you enter the United States. When you present this printout to the embassy or immigration official, they will scan the QR code and be able to view a secure online version of your VisaScreen® certificate, which they will use to validate your eligibility entry.

There is no additional charge for using the digital VisaScreen® certificate.

For the time being, we ask that you print out the PDF version from your CGFNS Online account and present that printout at the embassy/consulate and at the border. Please do not attempt to present it via your mobile device.
