   You are being an ignorant jerk saying these things about foreign nurses "who carry questionable credentials and taking an honorable job". First off, in my home country, Poland, you need to have a master's degree to be a nurse. There is no ADN or BSN....

   In my previous post, I meant I-485, not I-140. Forgot that I-140 can be filed regardless of retrogression.

   Hi, From what I have read it seems that the only option after one gets petitioned by a hospital(during OPT) is to go back to his/her native country and wait until their PD becomes current to be able to file I-140. Is that correct? Can it be done outs...

   So my only hope is to wait until the visa bulletin under the third category becomes current. And that could probably take anywhere from a couple of years to forever.... hmmm. The only other choice is H1b as far as i can recall. But there's a limited...

   OK, so I found my answer about priority dates :) Now, going back to school after doing OPT seems to be a problem. But it seems that I might not need to do that since after getting my I140 approved, I would file for I485 and EAD. Even after my OPT e...

   Thank you so much for your quick reply. One more question.. how will I know if my priority date is current? I come from Poland and still do not really see how the whole retrogression could stop me from getting permanent residence through employment...

   Hi, After reading all those posts regarding foreign nurses trying to get green cards, I am still confused about certain things. I need them claryfied baldy. Please! OK, let's assume that I am on a student visa, just graduated with an ADN, just passed...
