NVC -CP- GC Tracker

World Immigration

Published

I am starting a new thread to track cases from NVC - embassy to GC.

The best news for RN in China, Phillippines and India has been great and informative thread, but I think it is more appropriate and convenient if we start a new thread.

Also with the rapid scheduling of interviews for most of us, I am looking beyond the CP and anticipating the GC!

The August interview schedules are out already in India, and recently in the Philippines and hopefully in China.

Here is my case details

Category : EX Schedule A

USCIS receipt : April 2004

Processing Center : Vermont

I-140 approved : October 2004

NVC case number : MNL2004813XXX

NVC case completed : May 16, 2005

Consular Interview : August 29, 2005

I hope you can also post here your details interview experience.

A huge thanks to you guys. :thankya: I really appreciate all the info i got from this forum. :) now all i need to do is review for the NCLEX. I'll be taking it in saipan on sept 10. wish me luck!!!!

Just curious, why are you still taking your NCLEX in Saipan? Why not take NCLEX in the state where you plan to work? You already got an iimigrant visa right? Just asking lan po. :)

My employer is requiring me to take and pass the NCLEX before deployment. They want to make sure that I'll be able to work right away upon arrival in NY. I already told them that it will be more practical to just deploy me and then take the NCLEX in NY. What's the cost of sending me to Saipan? around $500-$600? They're just gonna add a couple of hunded dollars more and it's already my plane ticket to the US, right? I really don't know what they're thinking right now.

My philippine agency on the other hand is asking that I surrender the visa to them. I've been asking them why and up to now they have not replied yet. I think they're going to hold my visa to make sure that am not a flight risk. :rolleyes: Are they really allowed to hold on to the visa? I'm really disappointed with my agency right now. I got no support from them

before, during and after the interview. :o

I am sorry to hear that but let me ask another question before commenting, what if, god forbids!, you did not pass the NCLEX, what will happen to your immigrant visa? I am really sorry If I sound intrusive.

If you have an immigrant visa, then you will still have it as long as you have met the requirements of the green card by passing CGFNS and the English exams.

If you do not pass the exam, then you retake it 45 days later............it is just helping the employer for having to pay extra expenses until you can taks the exam. But you should not need any help with passing.

yes the visa is in the passport. they want that together with the other documents given by the US embassy,the one you have to present to the immigration officer at the port of entry.

I already asked the immigration lawyer that... and he said that in the event that I do not pass the NCLEX.... i will have to retake the NCLEX ASAP... now in the case that its not possible... i will have to be deployed before the expiration of the visa.

Once you have the immigrant visa, nobody can take it away from even you failed the NCLEX several times. The only thing that the US government can strip you of that is when you have committed criminal acts, I read that somewhere.....please don't ask me the source or website address... :chuckle

But the important thing is, one must pass the NCLEX otherwise you will be terminated by the your employer, this is a case to case basis. I have seen employment contracts that stipulated that the nurse will have to pass the NCLEX within a year after arrival or face termination.

Also, if you failed the NCLEX then you will be working as a nursing aide and you will have difficulties supporting your family because of your low wages.

I am sorry to hear that but let me ask another question before commenting, what if, god forbids!, you did not pass the NCLEX, what will happen to your immigrant visa? I am really sorry If I sound intrusive.

These are very unfortunate situation and unfortunately a lot of nurses here in the Philippnes are tied up, or should I say, LOCKED UP with these kind of agencies. Have several acquaintances whose immigration application are in jeopardy because other agencies filed a case against his agency for allegedly pirating nurse applicants. I hope this will not become rampant because at the end of the day, the victim will be the poor nurses who are just after "the good life".

I know this is the nth time already, be wary of the agencies who entice you with good to be true promises and quick fixes and in return nurse applicants should be "loyal" and truthful and avoid possible illegal practice.
