You have two options if you wish to work in the US. You must either complete the RN in your country or come to the US as a foreign student and complete the RN here.
You are unable to get a visa to work as an LPN in the US on your own.
You must have a Visa Screen Certificate, and they are only given to RNs.
There are schools available to you in almost every state. If you do the training in the US, you can get your RN that will allow you to work here with a two year ADN (Associate), or if in your country, you will need the equivalent of your BSN, which is the four year degree.
