Where were you born? Do you have your Visa Screen Certificate already?

Most UK nurses are posting under other threads as this doesn't apply to many of them.

COUNTRY OF BIRTH IS NOT AN ISSUE NOW. Since the EB3 is UNAVAILABLE WORLDWIDE. It does not matter where you are born...because all EB3 are unavailable...Its only Schedule A...and it does not matter where you are born too...50k is all they got...First come, first serve! Enjoy your visas while it lasts!!!

It isn't that it is not applicable, but most in the UK that are applying for the US are not from the PIC countries.

Hi the UK nurses tend to post in the UK forum because a lot of what is written on here is just not applicable and there are far fewer UK nurses than there seems to be from other countries. Also a few of the UK nurses were getting a bit fed up with being shouted down so whilst I read stuff on the International forum I rarely post. :)
