   msrclim replied to Daretocare's topic in International

   The I-140 and I-485, (assuming you meant I-485 instead of I-148) can only be applied together if the visa category for nurses is current and not in retrogression. A nurse cannot apply for adjustment of status (I-485) if the category is in retrogress...

7. Going it alone, without agency

   msrclim replied to flight027's topic in International

   If you were to go to the US today, July 23, and presuming that you have an employer willing to hire you, then the earliest time they can file your I-140 will be 90 days after, about Oct. 23. You can only do adjustment of status and file the I-485 co...

   It would really be best to apply to a state that will issue you a license without an SSN. Arizona issues a license after passing the NCLEX and after submission of the fingerprint card even without a SSN. I don't know which other states also does thi...

    Arizona is part of the compact states which includes about 20 or so states that have made agreements with each other to make it easier to endorse nursing licenses between them. However, I don't know how easy it is to do. What you need to do is to che...

13. Bad Contracts with Bad Agencies

    msrclim replied to suzanne4's topic in International

    Can the agency ( with whom I signed a contract with) file the I-140 petition on my behalf without any of the documents necessary (like my birth certificate, nursing education records and the like)? Is it necessary for me to sign any document in the I...
