hello guys! i heared a lot different stories about procedures on how to work in US.
some say after local board i should take the CGFNS, TSE finally nclex?
some says CGFNS is not required bla bla
some says you cannot get visa screen without the CG..
some says it should be toefel ibt and not TSE
and so on...
im gettin confused everytime i talk to different people. i think many of you are now RNs and went thru these procedures so at least if you give me inputs i assume that you really went thru that.
by the way Ohio state is the place i want to go because many of my relatives are already there but non of them knows abot the procedure.
hi guys.. as the day comes near to my graduation day i cant stop thinking about how long i would still have to wait to work abroad. assuming that i passed the nclex and there is no retrogression anymore how many years do i have to expect for me to go to US?
thanks
If no retrogression and you are petitioned by a real employer that is not going to delay things, you could be in the US in less than a year. The issue is if the attorney does a good job and no additional information needs to be submitted. Fastest that I have seen is about six months from when the I-140 was submitted and then the nurse was in the US ready to begin work and this was thru Consular Processing, but average is about one year....
