Re: Radiology school question (Ca, Illinois, Washington, Pennsylvania
The three year degree from your country is not the same as the four year Bachelor's degree that we have in the US and will not meet the requirements for entry into a Master's program here.
In order to get a student visa to attend school here, you must prove that you have the funds to cover international student tuition as well as living expenses. You are unable to work full-time on the student visa here, and actually no more than 20 hours per week with special permission of the US State Dept.
In order to have a chance of getting a visa to work here, you will have to meet the requirements for licensure and hold a license for the US, as well as pass the English exams and get a Visa Screen Certificate thru CGFNS.org as you would be applying for a visa in the health care field where you have direct patient contact.
This Bulletin Board is for nurses, you have other requirements that you must meet to be able to work in the US, suggest that you contact the licensing board for the state where you think that you want to work in.
Be aware that licensure and immigration are two different things and you must have a visa that will permit you to work here, a license alone will not permit that.
Best of luck to you.
