Hi Dave. I just smiled after reading your post. Hehehe I very much understand what you mean, there lies a meaning on it. Hehehehehe....

But anyhow, let others stomach ache on this:yeah: While we continue to pray for the BEST VB that we wanna see in the coming days.

Godbless you and more to life!!!

I think they will give an early Christmas present making the vb 2007. either who wins in the election this coming Tuesday the next president will lift the retrogresion hahahahahhahahah:yeah:

Neither candidate is going to lift retrogression, and the one who leans more towards immigration ( McCain) is behind.

Whoever gets elected needs to keep Americans employed, if there are nursing opportunities it will go to laid off Americans. If need be the Americans will get the education needed for the nursing positions. In the mean time if there are hours available they will be taken by the employed nurses in form of overtime. In the current economic situation most employed nurses will grab all the extra work since they don't know when it will be available again.

Sorry give such bad news, you have to remember even if retrogression is lifted you have to have a current job offer.

share with us our dreams and aspirations....after all, it's our dream not yours hehe...yeah..keep believing...december visa bulletin, pull our feets back on the ground!!

Just keep on praying that PD will move for December. There is nothing wrong with that. I do not have any clue as to what movement Dec PD would have. I can only hope for the best for all of you.

No one knows the future of immigration in the US. One can only predict and give an opinion but that is only how far it can go. Again, nobody knows the future of immigration in the US. Not even the present president, nor the next one nor the best immigration lawyers of America. Nobody knows! How much more from people in this forum?

I have nothing against people who dream to come here and work. I have been to many facilities that are in dire need of nurses that locals can't even fill. Overtime is always an option but there is only much one can do.

Hold on to your dreams and do not let anybody take that dream away from you. Good luck foreign nurses!

Thank you for such a very warm message.

I certainly agree with all the things that you've said. We dreamers must hold and stick to our dreams. And dont allow anyone to take it from us.

Off topic but I just wanna say this: Qualities that you posess are the one so much needed in here. Thus, you must consider yourself being a moderator.:wink2: Truly said, the way I look at it, you're a perfect picture of how a moderator should think, and express his/her opinions. Quite fair, true and justifiable.

Anyhow, Let's wait for the December VB. Hope it shall carry good news.

@ Suzzane: Yes you are right that those applicants with PDs of 2005 had some issues with our applications before, that is why we're left behind. But THANK GOD, we were able to make it through to being DOC QUALIFIED now. Just waiting for our P4.

By the way guys, just piece of update. I phoned US Embassy Riyadh few days ago. asked for my status, got a reply that they are still processing cases with PDs earlier than May 1, 2005. The gentleman also said that they got my docs fresh from NVC, just waiting for consular processing. I dont know what this means, but I hope there'll be a glimpse of hope for my PD to be current this DECEMBER VB.

Godbless and Goodluck to everybody:bow::bow:

Could you share with us where all these positions are? I know and read that many newly licensed nurses can't find positions, are these place that will hire new grads? Will they hire new foreign grads? Every hospital in my area ( Mass) is being hit hard by governmentals cuts, I would love to know where currently in the USA they have tons of positions where they can spend over $10k for a foreign nurse.

I know of many local hospitals using travelers, since they are cheaper labor than hiring an experienced nurse. Travelers are experienced nurses and usually get paid less then the current staff. You have to be an experienced nurse to be a traveler. And while travelers give relief for nursing staff, it is not realistic to have a staff abeing travelers. I can see from your prospect

working as a travler that nursing positions are plentiful, but is this really repsentative of the whole US nursing situation?

My last point, I wonder where my "American Dream" is going? I see retirement funds in the toliet, people once planning on retiring are holding on to their positions. Personally this is my second year of a 3% raise, which is really a decrease since insurance preminums are taking whatever raise I get before I see my check. Many hospitals have hiring freezes, My local taxes are going up while service is going down. According to one candidate running I am no longer middle class and have to pay hire taxes or I am not patriotic. Many home owners are loosing their homes, read the boards here many nurses are filing for bankrupcy! People in general are loosing their jobs and when they find a new job it pays less and they work more. So what is the American Dream? Work hard, work harder, and loose your job and money?
