International student taking up LPN


Hi, I am an international student here in the U.S. I am going to start LPN this Fall semester 2009.

I know that LPN are not qualified for working visa here. I am planning on doing the OPT after my course,work to gain experience and save up. then I want to go back to school and continue to ADN. what is the process in doing that? and if I go back and take ADN, take the boards after, am I qualified for a working visa?

hope you can help. thanks

You more than likely will be affected by retrogression. Retrogression has been ongoing since Oct 06 and many many people are waiting in the queue ahead of you. Things do vary a little depending on where you was born but generally you will be affected and may have to consider whether your ADN will be accepted in other countries or your home country
