I'm a registered nurse in the Philippines and also have a license to practice nursing in the US as an RN as well. 

 

I will be moving to the US using a Fiancée visa. Does my document (transcript of record, employment certificate etc..) need to be authenticated by the Department of Foreign affairs (Redribbon) when I apply for a job in the US when I get there? Do they honor it or it is not necessary?

 

Thank you  😀

No po as long as you pass the nurses exams that are required for the US then you don't need to have anything red ribboned. As long as you pass the exams then your fine. Where in pinas are your from?

Thank you for the information. My nursing license in the US was just renewed last month, so I guess everything will be okay. I am relieved, knowing I do not need to go through a long process of authenticating my documents from the DFA. I'm from Bulacan.
