Do you get Job as an RN on H1 Visa

More and more, employers are preferring a BSN degree. It IS possible to get a job with an associates' degree, but increasingly difficult. Please, bear in mind the tight new grad job market when you choose to pursue a work visa. I'm not sure of the legalities, and how long you'll have to gain employment before you'll have to leave the States, but it's VERY hard right now for new grads to find jobs. Some are unemployed in the nursing field for upwards of a year.

Moved to the international forum

H1b is generally a specialist visa and as a new grad you are not a specialist plus H1b requirement is BSN. Also with the problems of US nurses struggling to find work means it is even harder at the moment for International nurses as employers have to prove that they can't employ USC or PR first

No need to prove that for an employer since nurses are in the schedule A.

Schedule A hasn't been around for a few years. If it is back can you show a link to prove this?

I might be wrong, but I've never heard that the Schedule has been canceled.

What makes you think that it's not active?

When retrogression set in Oct 06 I think it was Jan/Feb 07 that schedule A was removed. There was threads back then discussing it and if you look back at Feb 07 bulletin Schedule A is mentioned but in Mar 07 it has been removed

I might be wrong once again, but Schedule A has nothing to with retrogression and visas. It only allows to skip getting a labor certification.

Yes, before visas were specifically allocated to Schedule A specialties, and it's not the case now, but that doesn't mean, that the Schedule A doesn't exist anymore.

Schedule A is still around.

The problem is, it is under the EB3 visa category. EB3 is retrogressed, so Schedule A is affected.

But I think it's also applicable to EB2, but the job needs at least at master's degree in nursing and an applicant should possess one.
