You just need to apply to facilities once you have your SSN# and documents that you can work. And you are able to do so because of the K-1 visa and that alone. Others that have gone thru the LPN program in your country do not qualify for a legal visa to work in the US.

Moved your thread to the International Forum since it is specific to working in the US.

Best of luck to you.

In most cases, facilities will accept your training in the practical nursing program as proof that you have had sufficient training. But they are the ones that make the final determination.

Best of luck to you.
