Title: Extension of the Deadline for Certain Health Care Workers Required To Obtain Certificates | |
Abstract: This rule amends Department of Homeland Security regulations to extend the deadline by which certain health care workers from Canada and Mexico must obtain health care worker certifications. This rule applies only to affected health care workers, who, before September 23, 2003, were previously employed as TN nonimmigrant health care workers (Canadian or Mexican citizens), and held a valid license from a U.S. jurisdiction. This interim rule does not change the licensing requirements for employment purposes. Publication of this rule ensures that the U.S. health care system is not adversely affected by the expiration of the transition period for certain health care workers to present the required certification. | |
