BEST news for RNs from India, Philippines and China

So tell me what is your experience in predicting numbers Suzanne? Is it the 5,488 posts you made here? Or your being Super Moderator that makes you superior that you can ban me here because of the TOS?
I think opinions and discussions are the most vital part of this forum here. You cannot expect that all people would agree on you and believe on you when in fact you have no basis at all. It simply goes on what you think and what you believe.
Now I answer others because I want to clarify things based on the law so that other people can decide what is the truth. Besides if you are the moderator...you should not be biased on any other opinion. Ofcourse it is on your sole judgement alone that you think I made some "abusive remarks". Or you are just afraid of others who disagree with you because they are smart?
America is a free country where freedom of speech and expression is a right.
Still I am so sorry. I hope I did not upset you. This would be my last post.
DALE

I cant agree with you more, Dale! No one here wanted to abuse anyone. Think about it. Why should anyone try that ? No one even know much about the other member.

Only 'sin' we did is we give more weightage to the opinion of Experienced lawyers. If Steven Spielberg and XYZ are talking about how to direct a movie, I am more inclined to believe Spielberg than XYZ. When people come forward with evidences, its natural that others who are 'beating around the bush' with out any factual evidence will feel bad.

PD may be 'current' or not in July bulletin though I realistically believe it will be 'current'. We just do not know because none of us are the decision makers. But we all are trying to see light in the darkness and when experienced lawyers are saying 'hope is on the way', why should we ignore it and go behind something else ?

Can you answer the following questions.
1. Are you born from one of the PIC countries?
2. When did you get your visa screen certificate:rolleyes: and what is your Pd?
3. How were you able to say that you are not affected by retrogression when you are waiting to be processed for two years and you get frustrated of waiting? For what?
I think every foreign nurse applying in the U.S. has only one thing in mind...TO FULFILL THEIR AMERICAN DREAM. So tell me why are you applying in the U.S. when you are already in the U.K.? And tell me why did you get frustrated? The fact the you are waiting for two years is a reality that you are HOPING that one day your american dream will be fulfilled. That is a fact that you have said.
DALE

To answer your question I am british born and bred, I passed nclex in march 2004, I was lucky that I did not have to wait for CGFNS to sit it otherwise I would have not been able to sit it until 16 months after I applied to them. :angryfire I recieved my visa screen sept 2004, I recieved approval last month but because the hospital originally petitioning me backed out and I had to find another hospital to take its place I now have to wait 30 days before I can refile with immigration so cannot see me moving to the US until atleast the beginning of next year. :angryfire which will take me well over the 2 yr mark

the reason I am wanting to move to the US is a chance to do something different to what I am already doing now and have a challenge in my life. I never mentioned about my american dream, just that I am still waiting.

The reason I made my comment is too many people give the immpression that this is good news and all over...... is it???? All over the world various countries are having problems retaining nurses... the countries need to address these problems.... we also hear comments that taking nurses from various countries are depleting that countries resources and even today in the UK there is a survey report that 40% of overseas nurses admit they are thinking of leaving the NHS in London and that two thirds of Filipino nurses (the largest group of overseas workers) are planning on moving to the USA here is the link http://www.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30100-1182303,00.html

this is just my opinion, and will say again suzanne is saying it is not over and the 50,000 will not end it and that things still need to be changed

For Dale:

Wow! I have been away for a few days on a business meeting and got the surprise of my life when I opened my email.

What is this board for? To share informations and opinions that would help others who have similar problems.

Yes, DALE, you were right to say that you were in grade school when I graduated in 1991.

I believe you are more knowledgeable than me or anybody in this immigration aspect...I salute you!!! I hope you will continue in that capacity of sharing your opinions on immigration based on facts plus the sources to prove it.

Heck, I only read and read and not pond of keeping websites as references for discussion. As a father of three doting children and a husband to a lovely wife, I have little time to spend hours on my personal computer to do that. All I do is read, read and understand as a lay person.... Also, to include my busy schedule as a medical representative.

I have participated in a lot of discussions ( nursing news, current events) and even bullied by some American nurses in my defense of foreign nurses immigration to the US. But there , at least, I am respected because of my views. I never though that I would be criticized here since this a forum of foreign nurses helping each other. It is up to the viewers to decide which he/she is going to believe.

Your last statement. " I was in grade school when you graduated in 1991" shows your indifference. To the point of saying who is older and younger, short of telling, I am better than you but you are older than me. :uhoh3:

As you get older, you gain more wisdom. Hope you will remember that, Dale. 8 years my junior, you are nearing there. :)

I am not here in a contest to tell that my opinions are better than anybodies' posts here. I am here in this board to share and help if somebody asks.

Even if my opinions were different from some of the posters here, I am optimistic at the way things are going now at the USCIS.

And if somebody is wondering why My PD is 2003 and still here. I graduated in 1991 and got my license in June that same year. Took and passed my CGFNS ( both nursing and english ) in 1992. I worked for more than a year in med surgical and found a job as a med rep.

My wife and decided to immigrate. So in 2003, I took and passed the TOEFL and TSE in Feb and March. Got my Visa Screen Certificate in September.In November, my direct employer filed my I-140 at California Service Center and got approved last year. So, here I am stuck up with the retrogression.

I rest..... :)

HI,

Just seen in the 'nursing times' agencies advertising for new recruits from India, china and Philipines saying that they were now able to proceed. So I guess they must have upto date news that things are moving forward.

Hi Kid

I couldn't find anything regarding new bulletin anywhere.. not in murthy.com too... Could u tell me where exactly it is..

himdale · May 20, 2005

this is from the murthy bulletin...

http://www.murthy.com/bulletin.html

6. visa bulletin to reflect new schedule a category

the may 11, 2005 passage of the bill known as h.r. 1268, or emergency supplemental appropriations act for defense, the global war on terror, and tsunami relief, 2005 has created a number of changes in immigration law. among these is the reallocation of previously-unused visa numbers from 2001-2004 to the exclusive use by those considered to be under the schedule a category who are exempt from the labor certification process. this includes nurses and physical therapists. more information regarding this aspect of h.r. 1268 can be found in our may 6, 2005 murthybulletin article, bill may provide limited relief for retrogression and h2bs, available on murthydotcom.

this change has given rise to questions about when the extra numbers will be available for this special subset of the employment-based third preference (eb3) category. it appears that this matter is likely to be resolved in the very near future. we have received reliable information from the u.s. department of state (dos) indicating that the visa bulletin, possibly for july 2005, may contain a separate category for the schedule a cases. this would provide significant relief to employers of nurses and physical therapists. the dos also indicated that they may amend the already-released june 2005 visa bulletin to include this new category as required under the recently-passed law. as of this writing, no update has been made.

thus, it appears that this much-needed relief may be available soon. we at the law office of sheela murthy are happy to provide murthydotcom and murthybulletin readers with this information that likely will be updated in the u.s. department of state visa bulletin in the near future.
