what should i do now?

hi suzanne, as you know am thru with the nclex, and on h4 visa..

have applied for visascreen cert some mths back. its only left with the scores for TSE.

my question is, can l look for an employer to start the petitioning for me whiles the visascreen is not ready.

on my cgfns account i have " waiting for passing english score" on it.

should i wait till everything is complete before looking for an employer.

please i need your advice. thanx

Hi RA4LIFE,

welcome back after a long gap. How was your Exam? I am sure you did very well. I also suggest you to look for an employer ASAP. I waited until I had everything and now I have another few months to wait before I can start working. I am yet to sign with an employer, then file a petition, get an EAD, get an SSN then endorse my CA license to NJ and then...start working... If you start processing now, you will be able to start work early. And BTW why don't you take IELTS instead of TSE? It is more easier. Take care and good luck.

thanx suzanne,but am still not clear.

does it mean an employer can start the process without the vsc?

starbin, yes i passed the exams by HIS Grace.thanx for your advice too.

The employer will hire you even without visa screen. It's just that you can't get your green card until you have vsc.

Yes, many hospitals do not sponsor green card. Few hospitals which sponsor sometimes ask for experience. I had the same problem. I have work experience but it has been more than 8 months since I left. There was one hospital which would sponsor but they said they are looking for somebody who is currently working with recent experince.:angryfire

What I suggest you is find out the web site of as many hospitals as you can, many hospitals have openings apply online or if you could find the e-mail address of the nurse recruiter e-mail the person with attachment of your resume. You can also call them and find out. Or just find out some long term care facility they will definitely sponsor. Where in PA are you? I know that there is a hospital in Reading which sponsors visa.

hi starbin, how are you ? hope you doing great.

thanx for your advice am doing exactly that on the net but mostly with hospitals. will give the long term facilities a try.

am in philadelphia area but can you pm me the name and address of the hosp in Reading.. thanx

how did yours go?
