Someone might be able to help in the International Nurses Forum! Since I'm from Texas, I unfortunately know nothing about what needs to be done to obtain a visa.

What kind of visa were you applying for? Did you apply for a Green Card?

The US has been affected by retrogression since Oct 2006 so not something new. Doesn't mean you never make your dream just means you have a long road ahead what with finding a employer and then a wait for immigrant visa

I'm sorry but the US isn't really providing visas right now for international nurses because there isn't any apparent nursing shortage.
