  1. H1-B visas

    Extension of H-1B status beyond 6-year limit is allowed in certain circumstances by law. http://www.murthy.com/news/n_h1bext.html Speaking about medical professionals I would like to mention that among employees at my hospital all the doctors ...
  2. H1-B visas

    So, what is your point? I watched Mr. Dobbs' show once and don't have any desire to watch it again. His style is a good example of how not to run she show. They were talking about this situation with H-1B visas and Indian companies last year and noth...
  3. Retrogression!!!

    What is "not true"? Anything may happen in the future. The current quotas has not been changed for over ten years and simply does not meet the requirement of businesses. Besides, because of the way USCIS works over 200,000 EB visa numbers had been wa...
  4. Retrogression!!!

    I think that wait time of 5+ years is possible for people from India, China, Mexico, and Philippines. For all others I think it should not exceed 3 years. And the U.S. Government may increase the number of visas available in some near future too.
  5. Work discrimination (or is it?) due to OPT expiration

    Even if one applied for employment as a new grad having an EAD valid for only a year there is no way to get hired unless they apply to the hospital that is really short of nurses. And as we know those ones are not the best to work for. So my whole po...
  6. Work discrimination (or is it?) due to OPT expiration

    Actually, the second sentence of the first post says which means the author has passed NCLEX already. I agree that applying for a job as new grad for the couple of months make no sense. That's why it's important to request the International schoo...
  7. Work discrimination (or is it?) due to OPT expiration

    CPT is not OPT. CPT is considered to be a part of curriculum and has nothing to do with OPT. Since Summerbummer21 has a license already (s)he can work under CPT at the hospital affiliated with the school. The international school advisor authorizes ...
  8. Work discrimination (or is it?) due to OPT expiration

    When one applies for OPT with USCIS the start day of OPT can be postponed up to 59 days after completion of studies because there is a 60-day grace period during which one can change status, change schools or apply for OPT. For example in one graduat...
  9. Work discrimination (or is it?) due to OPT expiration

    Actually, nobody is required to say anything about duration of their EAD unless asked. New nurses require 3-4 month of orientation and nobody will hire them on OPT considering the retrogression. So when one applies for OPT it's better to request the ...
  10. Work discrimination (or is it?) due to OPT expiration

    Summerbummer21 I understand that if frustrating, but why did you apply for this job if you had just one month of OPT left? How come that you wasted most of your OPT? Now, let me suggest something, talk to your International student advisor about CPT ...
  11. No new grad positions in Boston hospitals

    Actually, you would be surprised if you knew that cost of living in Boston is comparable to that in San Francisco, only salaries in Boston are twice lower then in SF and no fixed nurse-to-patient ratios.
  12. No new grad positions in Boston hospitals

    If you live in Arizona maybe you should consider California. If may area hospitals always hire new grads.
  13. Ok, so where is the nursing shortage?

    I have a friend who worked in Illinois and escaped from there to California. Besides low pay rate Illinois can also offer 8 to 9 patients per nurse which makes nurses run like crazy w/o even being able to go to pee.
  14. No new grad positions in Boston hospitals

    The same story here. After searching and applying in Mass for 3 month, just moved to Cali and got two job offers the next day! My hospital start new grads at $34/hour.
  15. Relief for retrogression hope???

    First of all I'm not imagining, this is the reality. Second, if hospitals lobby for more schedule A visas that means they need those workers. The reason they need them is because they cost less. This is capitalism. Welcome to America!
