My Ukrainian friend is considering to become a nurse in Ukraine. Will she be able to come and work in the States once she graduates from a Ukrainian Nursing School? What are the requirements for some one like her to be able to come on a work visa. Where to start?

Thank you!

I would suggest by starting at the thread/sticky called Primer to working in the USA would also suggest having a good read on this forum especially on retrogression. Once she has completed the training then she needs to apply to BON and meet their requirements. Hope nursing is what she wants to do as it will be a long process and she needs to make sure she meets requirments

The only visa that is available is the green card. There are no temporary work visas for registered nurses.
