   Just to update anyone watching this thread. The amendment to the Oklahoma Citizen and Taxpayer act of 2007 was squashed by right wingers......they are apparently under the misguided information that all you need to get a visa at the border is a lette...

5. Immigration Issues That You Need To Be Aware Of

   rolland542 replied to suzanne4's topic in Immigration

   The first organization actually helped with getting the law in Oklahoma passed. Unfortunately, nursing got caught up in the stuff. If you are here legally as I am, you should not be looked down upon from all your American co-workers. My education,...

   I hold a Associates Degree in Nursing Suzanne. And I have 20 years experience in a variety of areas like dialysis, er, trauma. And I have NEVER encountered any difficulties with obtaining a visa under NAFTA with the TN classification. I have crosse...

9. Moving from Canada to US

   rolland542 replied to laurasc's topic in International

   Actuallu Suzanne, you are incorrect. I have held over 20 TN visas in the past 15 years and have NEVER been asked for my NCLEX pass score sheet. The USCIS employees that process you for the TN visa have NEVER requested a passing score for the NCLEX....

    The use of the H1B for nursing is quite common because they hire a nurse who has had 2 to 5 years experience in let's say NICU - who also holds a minimum of a bachelor's degree. When I said this, I was actually arguing with a previous posting on the ...
