How To Prevent Your English Exam From Expiring

Tanya Freedman, CEO Connetics USA International Nurse Recruitment Agency: I'm at the NVC level waiting for a visa date with my English exam will be expiring in June. Will this affect me in any way since we are in a retrogression?

Michael Hammond, Immigration Lawyer: If you already have your visa screen issued, then the fact that your English exam has already expired is irrelevant. The visa screen will be good for five years so you'll be fine. If you haven't gotten your visa screen issued yet, and then your English exam expiration could potentially impact that process. But if your visa screen issued the English exam does not have to be valid as of the date of your interview. The consulate is looking at the visa screen, there not looking at all the things that you did to get that visa screen.
