H1b Visa for nurses under FY 2010

actually, it is possible. But it may be difficult.
you need to find an employer that will sponsor you on H1B.
and, since you have complete documents, it may be easier now.
but the biggest hurdle is if someone is willing to sponsor you with the little experience you have. And for H1B, you need to be a specialist or a job must be in an administrative position.

God Bless.

hi, im here in the USA NY, and i would like to change my status from tourist to working visa, im a registered nurse, and completed all the exam, have my NY license, visa screen certificate, but have only 6 months of experience as a staff nurse in er. im from philippines.

they say that there are many drawbacks for changing status while here in USA. Can someone here discuss the effects?

how about if i will apply in my home country? does my documents and experience enough? how about if i change my experience to 1 year by asking the chief nurse where i work before.

i'm confused right now, need your advise , thanks.

I'm confused right now, too. You stated you only have 6 months of experience...but then want to change it to a year "by asking the chief nurse where i work before." Ummm...isn't that lying?

If you have a tourist visa, you should enjoy your vacation and then then go back home. That's what the word "tourist" means. Trying to use a tourist visa to immigrate is wrong. There are many people waiting in line for their chance to immigrate--why do you think it is OK for you to push to the front of the line? That's just plain selfish!
