Hi...I am wondering if there's any story of nurses who were denied by the US embassy on their immigrant visa application?..If there is..what were the common reasons or grounds? just curious because I am afraid of being denied when my time comes..:banghead::imbar

You can fail if you fail your medical, you could have criminal history and that can go against you. There are a few reasons why you can be denied but generally you do not see many post that they got denied

If there is not an actual job available for you when it is time for the interview, then the employer will not be able to submit a letter stating that they have full-time work for you and then the petitions are cancelled.

What you originally had submitted was a job offer letter, there is never any guarantee with it that there will still be a job three to five years later. Anything can happen and it does, and this is even more important now.

hmm thanks suzanne4..the info is quite depressing. So this means, in my situation for example, that I need to have some options rather than waiting for this whole immigration process?I don't know where to put myself now...I am still wishing to reach my american dream...

Let me share you this. I've just chatted with a friend, she's waiting for US retro to be lifted and tried working in another country while waiting. She absolutely loved the country she is currently working at now prays that her US visa be denied when the time comes.

Congrats to your friend. However, your friend need not pray that her case be denied. She can easily cancel it herself. That is, if she wants to be responsible about it.

If she talks to the one who petitioned her and they come to terms to cancel the contract amicably then that will save everyone headaches, time, effort/energy and money anywhere from NVC or USCIS having to keep her file and sending snail mails to her agency and/or lawyer for updates, to the agency or petitioner having to pursue the case and updating things for her. The time, effort and money that will be saved by the contract being cancelled sooner rather than later will have positive impacts for everyone that is involved in the whole process. Anyway, she has no intention anymore and very satisfied in the country she is currently in now.

It frees up a slot in the queue and a visa number or visa numbers if with family.

As far as possible repercussions of cancelling the contract and possibly paying a cancellation fee, that provision in the contract will be enforced anyway one way or another if the petitioner or agency really wants to enforce them. Also, by cancelling now and talking to the petitioner/agency early before they spend more time, effort and money in a case that the beneficiary has no more intentions to fulfill your friend stands a chance of settling the cancellation of the contract amicably and even stands a chance that the cancellation fee provision maybe forego or at least brough down to as much as just paying for the amount they have spent for her case.

That is, if your friend wants to be responsible. Otherwise, she can just wait for the process to go through at the very end and just drop the bomb at the last moment and the visa number/s will go to the unused/wasted visa number pile instead of going to another person that needs it.
