International nursing students in the US

Dear Suzanne,

Truly you are a beacon on stormy seas for many of us. Thank God for people like you.

If the school cannot/will not help me file my I-539 from inside the US, do you know if it is wise for me to just go ahead send in a "Change of status" application? I mean, should I go ahead and apply on my own?

Hey Macarena

I recommend the hospital uses their own legal department to recommend an attorney for immigration.

My brother who lives in NY did a lot of research when i was seeking a position in the US and hospitals may sponsor you for a greencard however any management change in the hospitals (they are private and very large) or if there is a budget cut or financial difficulty, generally they cancel sponsorship for foreign nurses instead of making local nurses redundant.

Make sure hospital will hire you and there is an assurance or guarantee of continuing sponsorship no matter what

Hope this helps
