Hey, have you visited the agency I told you about yet? or Abba? I just e-mailed my friend. I'll pm you more details about her agency once she replies.

Question: Why do some agencies here in the Philippines that have tie-ups with Cambridge Healthcare claim that with even a minimum of 6 months experience (hemodialysis), they can secure you a H1-B visa? How true is that? It's contrary to what you guys here are saying.

And like peepo RN, my friend with barely 3 months experience was issued an H1-B visa (lottery). She's in Illinois now.

@big brother

dont know what agency they are tied up. i also have a batch mate but i believe she has almost a year or maybe 1 year of hospital experience and she was able to obtain that h1b visa. shes in the states right now. Maybe i has something to do with that lottery thing.

@suzanne

is it possible if you already have a petition and you can give that up in exchange for a h1b? what are its possible pitfalls?

The big issue is that the H1-B visa must be paid for entirely by the employer, not one penny can be charged to the nurse. And we are speaking of about $7000 total US for this. The majority of agencies are not going to do this, and if there is one penny that the nurse has to pay for, then all is immediately cancelled out by the US government.

The H1-B visas are still being investigated by the US government, if one does not have specialist experience at the minimum, they can expect to have their visa cancelled and rightfully so. Lottery H1-B visas are only issued once per year and chances of getting one of those as an RN are slim to none, and even if one gets one, there is nothing to guarantee that they will be able to keep it. Much is going to have to do with their skills or lack of them.

so i it really is possible to get there even you have an ongoing petition. provided that you have the money and the experience. well i guess the move made by someone i know was right.

But again, the H1-B is subject to being cancelled if they do not meet the requirements of being a specialist in their field. 6 months of experience does not make one a specialist.

What about 1 year of experience in a special area like ER or ICU?
