Christ for the Nations Institute claimed exemption from the annual limitation on H-1B visas because it is an institution of higher education. However, because CFNI is not accredited, USCIS stated we do not qualify as an institute of higher education. We fulfill the requirements from The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board’s regarding religious studies programs (letter from the Texas Workforce Commission granting an exemption, if degrees will be offered, a letter from the Coordinating Board explaining that approval is not required since religious studies are outside the purview of the THEC Board) Texas recognizes CFNI as an institute of HE by the TWC and we have SEVIS registration as Higher Education. So we want to claim for exemption for Religious Higher Education Institutes.
