Need information concerning US and retrogression

Published

Hi,

I am an NCLEX RN passed Nurse and I would like to process my papers for US Immigration. But I came to know that the Retrogration period will be beginning 2008 and continues until 2011. Is this information correct?

Kindly let me know.

Thanks,

Five years plus, just have a look at the Visa Bulletin for this month and you will see it in black and white.

No one can predict what will happen next year after the election and new president is sworn in however I doubt that they will open the visas to nurses, so still expect it to take some time. No reason why you do not have your baby as planned as they can easily be added on

Are u sure baby's processing time won't take much. Can u tell me what all we will have to do do get ourbaby added on.

Many have had babies whilst waiting and they are the only ones that can easily be added. just need to let your lawyer know once baby is born and they will add to DS230

So what is status as of today for Indian Nurses to get the work permit in USA? I have not even appeared for the NCLEX exam yet ? Should i just forget about getting job in USA as RN ? Coz i think it would take 2 years(preparation for exam) + 5 -6 years of waiting for visa ? Os OBAMA government has promised to change anything with respect to this?

Also does this retrogression thing mean , there is NO shortage of nurses in USA as many reports suggest ? Why would US governmen not allow Nurses from India come to US and work as RN ?

I also have posted on list of question here:

I doubt things will change for a while even with the new president as there are many more US issues like employment of US citizens ongoing. Many are loosing jobs at the moment and I have seen threads on where they are going into do their nurse training plus we are seeing posts of nurses being laid off or struggling to find work.

I have answered your other thread and here is a link to the VB which changes approx 15 of the month and there usually are threads discussing this when they come out

Another health care system failing, I don't see these hospitals importing foreign labor and this group did import nurses in the past.
