Thank you silver dragon!!!

.. can you give me a list here,, WHERE is the best state that is something good to work, and that gives license without requiring SSN where i could transfer my file?.. i really dont know where state should i choose, coz my relatives are from california only. i hope i'll pick the smart option.

do you think it is a good idea if i apply for a visa screening certificate now? knowing that there is still retrogression. because i dont have any idea that after having VSC i dont know what needs to be done next. after having VSC what's next? how long will it take for me to have the chance to go abroad??

actually i had this employer from new jersey, she gets all my credentials(xerox copY) and i ask her if should i take the IELTS now so she can work on my papers now, she just told me my papers is on process now,and i have a lawyer already according to her.. but whats up with that? how is she gonna work through my papers though i haven't taken the IELTS yet which is a requirement for the VSC?? what do you think of that she told me
"your papers are on process now"....

I can't really suggest a state to go to. If you get a license in another state it doesn't always require that you have to work in that state. Once in the US with a valid work/immigrant visa and you have a SSN you can apply to Ca for a license. This is just a way of protecting your NCLEX results.

Your employer doesn't need IELTS to submit paperwork for you although they can demand that you have English and some states do require English exams. VSC is valid for 5 years only and no telling how long it will take for you. You can always apply for vsc once it is getting nearer your PD once you have paperwork filed (I140)

thank you silverdragon!

how much is the reapplication of the VSC once it gets expired? sorry, i know it sounds redundant here.

yeah really , it's so discouraging, we still have to stay here longer than we think.. i really hope that the retrogression will be uplifted soon soon soon

is it true that obama is prioritizing black people to get a job first rather than giving it to aliens?

Costs are on the CGFNS website.

It isn't true that President Obama is prioritizing any race before foreigners BUT as it is right he is trying to get US or legal residents employed first before foreign workers. No one knows how long retrogression will last it already has been ongoing since Oct 06 and the demand is higher than visas allocated and the US like several other countries are having a high unemployment rate and they do need to be looked after first

That is something you discuss with your employer, it may be that you pay upfront, keep receipts and you receive a relocation fee that covers things like this

Hi folks. Do I need to sign my entire name in the application? I have signed my name but without my middle name. I only signed it with my middle initial. Do you think its ok?

Hi Suzanne!

I registered in the CGFNS website for my VSC but I was not able to finish it. I realized that I don't have to rush since there is retrogression. I'll be renewing my tourist visa soon for the US, I was wondering if this registration I made online will affect the outcome of my renewal?

Thank you.
