times in the last 20 years. The H-1A Visa classification was enabled
through the Nursing Relief Act of 1989 but was later terminated on
September 1, 1995. Then in 1999, the United States experienced a
shortage of nurses and created the H-1C Nurse Visa Classification.
The H-1C Nurse Work Visa program was authorized by the United States
Congress through the Nursing Relief for Disadvantaged Area Act of
1999. However, the H-1C Visa classification expired on June 13, 2005.
There is currently no specific nurse visa available in the United
States. However, there are two ways that foreign individuals wishing
to work as registered nurses in the United States can apply:
* H-1B Work Visa for Skilled Workers
* TN NAFTA Work Visa (only available to Canadian and Mexican citizens)
