Intending to relocate on F1 visa

[buslad]

Good day,

Please am considering coming to USA on F1 visa to do a certificate program in community health promotion which is a year program. So that I can write Nclex within the one year, because I have intentions of doing my MSc in Nursing anaesthesia from the same school and I will need RN license. My dilemma now is could it be possible to change from F1 visa to EB3, within one year? Am from Nigeria. I have a BNSc with 5 years post graduation working experience. I need help and information. My intending state is North Carolina. Thanks for all contributions.

buslad, I know this post is old but to tell you the real thing about your monthly 600dollar salary in Nigeria is that, its very okay for the economy standard in Nigeria. If you come to the USA if you are in newyork and your monthly pay is 5-6k you will pay at least one-third of that for rent monthly, you pay for your car and insurance, the economy standard have a way of getting up to your pay and you have to be a wise person to save also. the main issue with the Nigerian salary is when the government don't pay on time.
