3. Does any one know some agency or recruiter that hire nurses educated outside of USA?

   grantsally1 replied to Yohanesteban's topic in International

   Good to hear. It sounds like you have what the hospitals will desire. E3 visa is great and if you have a spouse they can get work authorisation. Also no need to fill out i94 cards everytime you leave and re enter the US. A lot of the HR in hosp...

   grantsally1 replied to Yohanesteban's topic in International

   Hi booha I would not rush into signing up with an agency yet. If you sign up and break the contract you could be up for a lot of $$$$$$. Agencies will make promises to get you in but it does not mean they will be able to secure a job for you. I w...

8. Australian wanting to register in State of NY for E3 visa

   grantsally1 replied to Mallory11's topic in Immigration

   Ghilbert is absolutely correct. At no stage did the Consulate ask to see any paperwork other then the certified LCA. A couple of basic questions and that was it. Not even a look a the job offer from memory or the Visascreen etc etc. You don't ha...

    Well done on getting your license. I am around the same stage that you are and awaiting a job offer at the moment. I got my NM license last month and endorsing to CO now. If you have got this far by yourself like me, I wouldn't bother dealing with...

12. States that DO NOT require SSN.

    grantsally1 replied to danisweetcheeks's topic in Registration

    Thanks for that steep bay. I will be using an E3 visa, which requires a job offer from the employer and doesn't have to supply an SSN at that stage. As soon as I get a job offer together with LCA from the employer, I can apply at a U.S. consulate for...

    New Mexico doesn't require SSNs. I can confirm that as I just got a license issued there as a foreign nurse.
