who among us here applied for the FY 2011 h1b visa and has been approved?
Sorry my mistake on your country.Retrogression currently affects only EB3 for all categories and only certain categories in EB2 and EB1. A lot depends on where you are born. Therefore if you meet EB2 or EB1 requirements and employer is willing to go the immigration route you can apply direct for GC and in some cases if PD is current can apply for AOS.
Actually I was born in Russia.
Ok, I shoul read about EB2 and EB1.A question is even if I met the requirments which my CNM and MS, is the employer be willing to go to the immigration route? And what does it mean PD and AOS?
Hi!I'am RN from Israel? passed NCLEX? but cannot find sponsor for H1B.I intend to continue my studies in US for Master Degree(Midwifwery).Is it increase my chanses to ger H1B after finishing?
First you have to complete your MSN, it expensive about $50K for the program and living expenses, you will have show you have the money to pay for school and living expenses. You will also have to your credentials evaluated to see if they meet US BSN, most have to make up some courses prior to admission. Most Masters programs need you take the GRE exam and do well to be admitted.
After this done who knows if the H1B is available. In my area CNM are very competitive jobs. This means why would a hospital paid the fees for a H1B employee when they can get one for no cost and only for a limited time. With a Masters degree you could get a EB 2 but once again why would an employer sponsor a when there are permanent residents available.
If your CNM qualifications translate to a place you legally can live go for it. If you are doing this as sole means to gain residency in the USA it is risky.

I do understand that it is not easy to apply and complete MSN, but also I already understood that currently nobody wants me which my BSN and NY lacense.And I'am trying to find a way to work in US.

Many waiting in the queue of retrogression applied for GC initially, me included. As long as employer is willing to meet requirements i.e job that requires Masters, paid appropriately and proves that someone locally can not be employed then no reason why not go direct to immigrant visa without H1b. I suggest you read up on EB1 and 2 categories
