SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
《移民与国籍法》(简称“该法”)第212(a)(5)(C)条和第212(r)条,即8 U.S.C. 1182(a)(5)(C)及(r),以及美国国土安全部法规8 CFR 214.1(i)及(j)和212.15(a)及(n)(3)规定,凡以非移民或移民身份寻求进入美国者,或作为身份变更申请受益人者,或申请调整身份者,如其目的是在某些医疗保健职业中从事劳务,除非其出示经授权的资质认证机构出具的证书,否则将被视为不可入境。美国国土安全部法规8 CFR 212.15(e)(1)至(3)明确授权外国护理学校毕业生委员会(CGFNS)[1]、国家职业治疗认证委员会(NBCOT)以及外国物理治疗资质认证委员会(FCCPT)出具此类证书。此外,美国国土安全部法规还列明,根据《移民与国籍法》第212(r)条,即8 U.S.C. 1182(r),CGFNS被授权出具替代性认证声明。参见8 CFR 212.15(h)。
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 alien who seeks admission to the United States as a nonimmigrant or immigrant, or who is the beneficiary of a change of status request, or who is applying for adjustment of status, 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),[1] the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT), and the Foreign Credentialing Commission on Physical Therapy (FCCPT) to issue such certificates. In addition, DHS regulations list CGFNS as authorized to issue alternative certified statements under INA section 212(r), 8 U.S.C. 1182(r). See8 CFR 212.15(h).
美国国土安全部法规还就新增资质认证机构的批准制定了详细标准,须经与卫生与公众服务部部长协商后方可批准,且美国公民及移民服务局已建立相应的裁定框架,用以受理和裁定此类申请,申请须使用I-905表格《授权出具医疗保健从业人员认证申请表》。参见8 CFR 212.15(j)及(k)。该法规还规定了对资质认证机构的定期审查,以及在必要时予以终止的程序。参见8 CFR 212.15(l)及(m)。最后,该法规要求美国国土安全部通过在《联邦公报》上刊登通知的方式,将新增资质认证机构的批准情况告知公众。参见8 CFR 212.15(e)及(h)。
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).
