Notice of Approval of New 

Credentialing Organization for 

Healthcare Workers for Certain 

Immigration Purposes 

AGENCY: Department of Homeland 

Security, U.S. Citizenship and 

Immigration Services. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Homeland 

Security (‘‘DHS’’ or ‘‘the Department’’), 

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration 

Services (USCIS), is issuing this 

document to inform the public of the 

approval of a new credentialing 

organization for certain health care 

workers for certain immigration 

purposes. 

DATES: USCIS approved the application 

from Josef Silny Associates, Inc. on July 

22, 2021. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Foreign Workers Division, Office of 

Policy and Strategy, U.S. Citizenship 

and Immigration Services, Department 

of Homeland Security, 5900 Capital 

Gateway Drive, Camp Springs, MD

impairments may access the telephone

Service at 1–877–889–5627 (TTY/TDD). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Sections 

212(a)(5)(C) and 212(r) of the 

Immigration and Nationality Act (the 

Act), 8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(5)(C) and (r), as 

well as the DHS regulations at 8 CFR 

214.1(i) and (j) and 212.15(a) and (n)(3) 

require that an individual who seeks 

admission to the United States as a 

nonimmigrant or immigrant, or who is 

the beneficiary of a change of status 

petition, or who is applying for 

adjustment of status, in the United 

States for the purpose of performing 

labor in certain health care occupations 

is inadmissible unless he or she 

presents a certificate from an authorized 

credentialing organization. DHS 

regulations at 8 CFR 212.15(e)(1) 

through (3) expressly authorize the 

Commission on Graduates of Foreign 

Nursing Schools (CGFNS), the National 

Board for Certification in Occupational 

Therapy (NBCOT), and the Foreign 

Credentialing Commission on Physical 

Therapy (FCCPT) to issue such 

certificates. DHS regulations also 

establish detailed standards for the 

approval of additional credentialing 

organizations after consultation with the 

Secretary of Health and Human 

Services, and USCIS has created an 

adjudicatory framework for the filing 

and adjudication of those applications, 

using Form I–905, Application for 

Authorization to Issue Certification for 

Health Care Workers. 8 CFR 212.15(j) 

and (k). The regulations also provide for 

periodic review and, if necessary, 

termination of credentialing 

organizations. 8 CFR 212.15(l) and (m). 

Finally, the regulations direct DHS to 

notify the public of the approval of 

additional credentialing organizations 

by publishing notices in the Federal 

Register. 8 CFR 212.15(e) and (h). 

On July 22, 2021, USCIS, following 

consultation with the Secretary of 

Health and Human Services, approved 

the application from Josef Silny 

Associates, Inc., as an organization 

authorized to issue certificates and 

certified statements under sections 

212(a)(5)(C) and 212(r) of the Act, 8 

U.S.C. 1182(a)(5)(C) and (r), for 

individuals seeking to enter the United 

States for the primary purpose of 

working as a nurse. This notice is being 

provided in accordance with 8 CFR 

212.15(e) and (h). Further guidance on 

certificates for health care workers is 

available at https://www.uscis.gov/ 

working-in-the-united-states/temporaryworkers/health-care-workercertification.
