Help! need advice on hospitals being comfortable with TN Visa

[bahnessa]

Hello Fellow Nurses,

Hoping I can get some advice on a job issue.

I'm a canadian Rn who has finished all my requirements (CGFNS, Illinois licence etc) to work in state of Illinois as a RN.

I flew down for interview at a major downtown hospital in Chicago. During the interview I mentioned to the manager that I would need an official job offer letter, noting I would be obtaining a Tn visa under the nafta agreement. They offered me a job that day and I signed the online contact for the position. The recruiter and manger both knew i would relocating from canada.

A week and half went by and I contacted my recruiter to discuss the drafting of TN letter and she seemed shock. She told me she would have to discuss it with the compliance team before she could proceed. I sent several emails and left voicemails, discussing what would be needed to in the letter and even typed up a draft to try to make it easy on everyone. 9 days went by before she emailed me back ,saying that she would have to see if the floor was able and willing to sponsor me prior to it being brought to the compliance board. I've tried contacting manager in talent acquisition with no response.

It seems like they are trying to withdraw the job on me, Does anyone know if this is common or allowed to happen ?

I've given notice to my former employer, sold my furniture , signed a new lease in chicago all based on this job offer. To say the least this is stressing me out with the lack of communication. I fly out in 2 weeks.

Anyone out there able to help me some advice ??
