NZ and AUS then to US?


Over the past days, I've been thinking about my plight... I've accomplished a few things on my way to the US but as everyone knows, they're not opening their doors to foreign nurses any sooner.

I've decided to start in NZ then perhaps go to Australia and then to the US. Is that quite possible? I plan to wait for the US retrogression to ease up in these countries and then work my way to the US or if I find AUS and NZ fulfilling then I'd stay in either country..

Is that a good decision?

The visa issuance in the US is based on where you were born, has nothing to do with where you are a resident of or which passport that you hold.
It is a decision that you will need to make as to what to do.

Best of luck to you.

hello Suzanne,
How difficult/easy it is to transfer a case from one US consulate to another if my case is still at NVC. I m thinking if I move to a different country on a work visa can I be interviewed at a US consulate there? or I need to go back to my home country for an interview.

Always appreciate your help.

I don't think you will have any problems. We had someone post I think it was last year that they did that and transferred their file to the UK embassy with no problems

Hello SilverDragon,
I couldn't find the thread from last year that talks about transferring a case to a different consulate while your case is at NVC (or from one consulat to another). I just would like to know what the law says about consulate jurisdiction and if a consulate in a third country will accept my case or not. Your help will be highly appriciated.

Thanks
