Need Help! Fiancee Visa Question(California)

The end decision is with the BON and we have had many members state they have had problems with Ca because they did not have a local license. Personally I think they should pass NLE if they can sit it and be qualified in the country they did their nurse training and it does take time for the paperwork to be completed for a visa to the US

Sorry Gonna have to disagree:

There is not "Many", it was an isolated few many months ago. If you read other boards that deal with Philippines and nursing you will find that written explantion is all you need.

Passing NLE if they plan on living and working in USA is waste of time and money, if they are not required by their states BON.

Bottom line their is always mis infromation floating around regarding Nursing requirments from Nursing students from PI and working in USA.

They real solution is to contact your local states BON directly and find out correct answer.

Not sure why you think it is OK to train as a nurse but not sit the local exam (if you can)

So if it is going to take the person over 5 years to get to the US how are they going to maintain adequate nursing experience? Employers will expect to see something and 5 years is a long time not to be working as a nurse and gaining experience

Sitting for Local Exam should be decided between the couple, who is coming to USA. I really see no need sit for local when they need to concentrate on getting Visa to USA.

Sorry, I don't know where you come up with 5 years, The Poster just graduated last month and plans on doing a marriage Visa to USA, that only takes a few months.

I'm arranging my fiancee's papers through fiancee visa.. Any ideas if she needs to take her NLE to work here in California?
