Obama may revoke TN nurses visas

[kheynurse]

There is a thread on the fromt page about some talk of Obama revoking the TN visas and those nurse being "kicked out" of the country. Strangely this has some strong support from american nurses who feel foreign nurses are taking jobs away from Americans....

I have been here with my family for 3 years via the I-140 route, so we all have green cards. Silly question really, but will this affect us and other nurses here with green cards?

(the immigration stuff was quite traumatic and a long time ago now, and although I can't believe it I have forgotten a lot of the details and rules etc, I guess I have blocked it out (lol!) ......hence the questions!)

Thanks!

You must pass the Visa Screen through the CGFNS prior to receiving a visa, this means that "no" she could not move here, without passing the NCLEX and receiving a state license to practice nursing.

the problem is not about foreign nurses getting the american jobs the real

problem is there's no job available.

the answer goverment should create jobs .

I have been following the politics of this TN visas. I don't think there is a chance of this being changed. If anything the trade between Canada and Mexico is going to increase.

The TN visas really have nothing to do with immigration of foreign nurses since many US nurses cross over to Canada - I live in a boarder state with Canada so I see this for my self. It turns into an equal swap.
