Im waiting for my notice of receipt. My employer told me its somewhere in May or early June. Hope this works. I think the H1b visa is good only for Specialized nurses. Like nurses in the ICU, HDU, or any specialized area. :yawn:

how does one become a specialized nurse? is that any different from a BSN?

Work in a specialized area, such as ICU, OR, it must be verifiable experience and it helps to take a certification test. When you work in the specialty the nurses will guide you.

What is your speciality?

hi to those who are applying H1B visa or has already applied and waiting for approval. Just a few questions to asked, but first of all let me tell you something about myself. I have passed NCLEX exam and currently working in ICU here in Europe. My questions are do you know of any employer in US that sponsor H1B nowadays?and what are the basic and other requirements needed to apply a H1B visa?Do advances courses pertaining to your current speciality advisable?and that should be based on US based curiculum/system? Hope someone out there would try to answer my questions please. Thank you.

Your training needs to be BSN or equivalent and being specialised will help in finding a employer.
