Feb 21 by loriangel14You would need to meet the requirements of the BON in the state that you want to apply for licensure in.If you meet the requiremnents they will give you permission to write the NCLEX.If you pass it you will have a license. Getting a Green Card takes about 6 years and requires an employer willing to wait. - Feb 21 by sgstudentmurseWoah! 6 years?? Wouldnt it be rly tough to get an employer who is willing to wait?

Wouldnt it be rly tough to get an employer who is willing to wait? - Feb 21 by sgstudentmurseWoah.. looks like i wud have to start applying for a green card first then. Isnt there any kind of work permit or stuff like that? What kind of requirements does the BONs usually look for?

Feb 22 by Silverdragon102H1b requires minimum of BSN and is a specialist visa therefore you need to have something that the employer wants, also in most cases employer applies April for Oct start after interview. Employer has to pay all fees. Immigrant visa (greencard) requires employer to start process unless you are getting immigrant visa via another route like family or marriage. Current processing times 6 plus years. Either way find employer will be hard and they will not really look at you unless met state requirements and passed NCLEX -
