In VA looking for a petitioner (currently on H4)

thank you guys for your support and for your experience...

yes, I do have the SSN from a previous status, I'm legal here I do not need to go back to my country...
we do not have an GC yet, as I said my husband is in a process of getting one...
i already spoke with the best attorneys in the emigration field, specialized on foreign nurses and they told me that i need to find a sponsor...i do not have the right to work on my actual status, but i'm free to look up for a sponsor... once the sponsor apply for my change of status, my legal status is gonna change...I'll get the right to work

As the silverdragon posted earlier, the waiting line for GC is huge...and could take like 2-3 years...this is what the attorney told me, but it;s legal to look up for sponsorships, only that the process will be long and there are not so many hospitals willing to wait that amount of time ...

...so it's frustrating to pass trough so many exams, to pay so many fees and not be able to practice...

so many sleepless nighs, so many days i kept my kids indoors because I had to study... i hope I'll get my repay and I'll be free to practice my profession soon... i miss that

thank you much sweetie!

dear ghillbert,

thank you!

- EB3 category
- and yes, I do have RN experience in my country, 6 years I've worked on Internal Medicine Clinic (hepatology, nephrology, gastroenterology)

i never worked because I decide to study and pass all my international and local board exams...and work as RN, but times got changed, in the mean time my husband changed jobs, and with that his legal status and I've lost my working permitand became and dependent

looking forward for your reply! thank you

thank you for your advices ghillbert!

...that is the reason for my first posting...are nursing agency safe for a foreign nurse like me? and if so...which one do you recommend me?

I've did legally research about the volunteering on H4 and I'm allowed to work as a volunteer only for a non-profit organization. That means that nobody within that organization gets payed for their job, every single person is an unpaid volunteer
I have a few choices, I just need my papers to be done and just take the night shift and trying to be helpful and get some more experience instead...

have a nice night and thank you again

...is there anybody who can help me with some answers please? is there a nurse who used a recruiting company in order to be able to work? and if there is...can she/he share opinions and experience with us?

thank you and have a blessed week!
