i think this topic has already been discussed several times in this site. unfortunately, it is quite apparent that many Filipinos are still being TRICKED into applying to different LPN programs/courses.

to my fellow Pinoys, please DO NOT enroll into these programs/courses because being an LPN will NOT make you eligible to apply for a US Green Card. the only way is for you to have a BSN degree and an RN title (as in Juan dela Cruz, RN, BSN).

if you don't believe me, then i STRONGLY suggest that you consult a REPUTABLE immigration lawyer.

do not believe the very enticing and very attractive advertisements of different LPN Schools. their primary goal is to make money for themselves and so they will do anything and everything to make you enroll into their schools and pay their tuition fees.

and do not belive the politicians who support these schools. these politicians are not nurses and they are not immigration lawyers. they don't know anything. chances are, they have been paid for their endorsements. we all know how Philippine politics work, right?

so, if you have the money that can be used to finance your education, try to get into the best nursing schools (UP, UST, De La Salle-EAC, FEU, etc.).

if you still do not believe me, the best step would be to consult a REPUTABLE immigration lawyer. he/she will be able to answer all your questions about this matter.

good luck to all of you and i am hoping to work with you someday as a fellow RN here in the US.

God bless!

Re: LPN status does not meet US immigration requirements for green card application

Also make sure that you use a legitimate immigration attorney and not one that gets money for essentially selling someone into slavery.

You still see companies offering the H2-B visa, but this is not accepted for nurses in the US and you are subject to being deported and not able to return to the US for ten years.
