Title: Certification of Certain Health Care Workers 
Abstract: On September 30, 1996, the President signed the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996. The statute, among other things, requires that certain foreign health care workers present a certificate from CGFNS or another agency to be determined by the Department of State, or, in the case of adjustment of status, to the Attorney General, in order to enter the United States. The certificate must address such issues as licensure, training, language skills, and education. The Service will be required to amend its regulations in order to provide information to the public concerning this issue.
