@juandelacruz: What's the name of our online NP school? And no, I don't have a master's degree and just because you got admitted into a master's program doesn't make you an expert in immigration law. Nursing grad school is way different from law school so I don't know how you made that correlation. So pardon me if I trust those three lawyers (people who passed the bar here in the US) more than I trust any of you. You don't interpret the law for living. They do so I'm trusting them more than I trust you. Sorry. It must be hard to accept one's own mistakes.

If you understood my post, you'll know that I did not graduate from an online NP school. However, I know of people who did and are working as NP's right now because they are fully qualified and certified by a national certification board and by their state of jurisdiction. Gee, I wonder why the same standard wouldn't apply to a foreign national who goes through the same educational path and certification. You can believe your lawyers all you want. I'm sticking with my opinion though it really doesn't matter 'cause I don't need any help with immigration as I'm a US citizen.

As an F1 holder, I am not able to enroll in a fully online program here in the States. I tried to enroll at University of Illinois Chicago for the RN-BSN program but was denied because it was fully online with clinicals. There's just no way of having an F1 STATUS and going for an online degree. The adviser told me "If your going to do it online, then why should you be here in the States, you can go back to your country and get your degree?" Doing my FNP in class... hoping to get my EB2 after grad.

A lot will depend on the job offer. MSN should meet requirements but the job has to meet requirements

if someone has foriegn MSN Degree, and takes the FNP post master's certificate program in the USA, is EB-2 sponsorship still possible?

It is as long as the job in the US is EB2 level that means job is MSN or NP

If i'm not mistaken, the degree has to be from U.S. universities.

No it doesn't have to be a US done course however the job must require it for you to apply in the EB2 category
