H1 visa On LPN Degree.

World International

Published

Hi,

I recently came to USA. I like to be RN, but the waiting list on nursing program (associate degree) is very long. So, I decided to LPN first and then get RN degree.

I can get into LPN program in one of the local college.

But, my main concern is, I am on H4 (dependent visa). After LPN, I need to convert my visa to H1 visa, so I can work in USA.

I don't US immigration allows LPN to convert to H1 visa.

Does any got H1 visa on LPN degree?

Any help appreciated. thanks,

-Rinku.

LPNs do not qualify for H1 visas. Period. They are for professionals with specialty knowledge/experience. LPN does not qualify as the position must require a bachelor's degree.

As mentioned as a LPN you will not qualify for H1b and even if you are newly graduate you will not qualify
