desire of working in united states

Published

I am philippine born and educated nurse. i was able to secure license in united states (2010). been working in a big hospital facility since 2011. looking for someone who can sponsor for eb3 was tough. gladly i was able to convince one :) signed a contract last month and waiting for other selected nurses to comply with their requirements. the sponsor said they will file our application on first quarter of 2014 as stated in our contract.

i am aware of the current retrogression status under eb3. 8 years of backlog is not a joke.

is it true that there are only few employers who sponsored foreign nurses year 2010-2013?

will the immigration reform in congress will help expedite and lessen years of backlog?

Well maybe there's only few employers who actually sponsored an RN from 2010-2013. But I guess that's really irrelevant to your situation.

Will the immigration reform lessen the retrogression? Probably. That is if immigration reform will happen. If it does, then it also depends on the provision. Whether they will utilise the unused visa or increase the quota.

I really think USA should copy the Canadian and/or Australian immigration system.
