Sorry but ZERO. You cannot get a visa that will permit you to work with the LPN, it must be an RN. You have to go thru CGFNS for a Visa Screen Certificate and it is not available for LPNs.

The only time that you will see a nurse from your country working as an LPN, is if she or he passed CGFNS exam, as well as the English exams, qualified for a green card that way, but for some reason was unable to pass the NCLEX.
If a nurse passes CGFNS the first time, they have a greater than 98% chance of passing NCLEX-RN.

Default LPN-nclex
how about if we pass the NCLEX for LPN's. Is there such a thing? NCLEX for LPN's? If LPN passes the NCLEX, will i be hired anywhere in the US?

It doesn't matter if you pass the exam, you will not get a visa that allows you to work. You need a visa to be able to enter the US and one that permits you to work. It is not granted with the LPN license.
