Thai Nurse coming to CA on a K-1 Fiancee Visa

I would begin by getting an official transcript and copy of her nurses license.
Click "Request for Transcript "

There are many details needed so the next few months can be used. The Board of Registered Nursing (BRN) is easier to deal with by mail than by telephone.

Also nurses at my hospital have had success by going to Sacramento and personally talking with someone.

Fingerprints and so on, including the English test may possibly be accomplished in Thailand.

Tell your fiance WELCOME!

I forgot the information I meant to post! Our nurse recruiter and my fellow nurses have found it almost impossible to get anything accomplished by phone. E-mail is slow. Perhaps they only look at it once a week and forward it to someone else. Snailmail or a personal visit work best. recently renewed my license on line and it was quick and easy.

OK, the link:
