Emigrating to florida!

Published

Hi everyone, i have looked through the different topics but couldn't find the info I was after. I am currently working as a nurse practitioner in wales, uk and am looking to move to florida but know very little about working in the USA as a nurse or indeed the best places to work or live in that state. Would anyone local to the area be kind enough to help. I may have many questions over the course of a long time though!ThanksChris

You will get info on immigration if you post on the International forum.

Thanks for the response, I will do that also but it was specifically Florida I fell in love with so was looking for info on the best places to live and work in that state with a young family if anyone could help? Cheers

You may want to look into the ins and outs of licensing and immigrating first.Silverdragon gives excellent advice.You may find that due to retrogression you may have a long wait.Also UK training is different so you may have difficulties meeting requirements.

I think that currently Green Card processing time is about 5-6 years so you want to keep that in mind.
