good for you. nope, im still here in the Philippines. US Retrogression was timely during my application. Are you a US citizen already? Some of my friends got in at Baptist and it seemed okay, for Filipino standards. Nursing anywhere else is Im sure much better than here... hehe

huh? When did you process your immigrant visa?

i believe immigrant visa is under retrogression.

Well, just my luck. Half a decade passed, and Im still here. Renewed my passport, Phil.license, etc. several times and im still here. I guess my US license and visa scree expired already as well (?). Tsk. hehe :yeah:

I hope the hospital would not withdraw our pending applications due to retrogression. Afterall, we signed a contract already. That must be a mutual understanding. Erm, how much are they offering now, if you dont mind. Just PM/ email me. TY:nurse:

To send a pm you need 15 or more posts

A salary like that with lesser tax and cost of living is way better than here in a 3rd world country. Sucks bigtime!

how did you find hospitals that are hiring international nurses? what website? i'm also interested in practicing in TX. i have no experience yet as well. direct hire or agency?

adangerousbeauty · Feb 2, 2010

Through agency. But most if not all are for manpower pooling only, processing of an immigrant visa nowadays would take years and years due to retrogression.

I dunno why there are lots of opennings for PT tho for the US. And I have seen lots of these PTs already in the US last year.

That's a shame.. you should have already processed through in 5 years.

Are you going through an agency or an immigration lawyer?

My suggestion is to ditch the hiring/staffing agency if that's what you are doing and get in touch with a US-based Immigration attorney. He/She will be more inclined to find the right option for you instead of what gets him/her the most money.

If your license has expired you can re-activate it although the requirements are different for each state and I'm not sure offhand what Texas requires.
