UK nursing agency advertising H1B visa for Fl and TX?

H1b is a specialised visa and you have to meet requirements and as I have posted in another thread with link there are fraudulent claims with using H1b and not meeting requirements expect things to get stiffer regarding issuing said visa

A Clinical Specialist is a nurse with a Masters of Science in Nursing and taken another certification exam. I doubt there is much of need since they are often the first ones to loose their positions in down economic times.

Another would be a NP, also masters prepare and another test.

The H-1B is a non-immigrant visa in the United States under the Immigration & Nationality Act, section 101(a)(15)(H). It allows U.S. employers to employ foreign guest workers in specialty occupations.

The regulations define a “specialty occupation” as requiring theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge in a field of human endeavor including, but not limited to, architecture, engineering, mathematics, physical sciences, social sciences, medicine and health, education, law, accounting, business specialities, theology, and the arts, and requiring the attainment of a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent as a minimum. Likewise, the foreign worker must possess at least a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent and state licensure, if required to practice in that field. H-1B work-authorization is strictly limited to employment by the sponsoring employer.

Interesting, how long has it taken you to get your visa? A staff nurse position doesn't qualify for a H1b visa.

If the H1b isn't capped and mostly need to be university hospitals then application is done in April with Oct start although the demand is much higher than visas allocated and covers everyone and usually gone in a couple of hours. As I posted in the thread about H1b fraud the government will be making sure all meet H1b requirements due to the outcome of them being abused so expect things to get tougher regarding this visa. Also H1b is for 3 years and how knows what will happen regarding retrogression then and if the hospital doesn't renew then you will have to leave the US

If it is something you want to do and take the chance then make sure you do all the research and prepared that you may have to leave if it fails.

why is it that an agency is offering it to my fellow nurses , they said that they are non cap, and will not pass thru the lottery?
