my soon to be wife is looking for a staff nurse job locally in manilla. she has 2 years experience and has passed all her courses.

she lives in manilla and is having a hard time to find a job locally there. if she doesn't find a job soon, she will have to move back to her home town region...to work as a clerk for her parents. because it breaks my heart to see her struggle and i can't help her find a job locally there....i'm doing the best i can to help her.

she has a bachelor of science degree in nursng at mindanao state univrsity and worked locally as a staff nurse for 6 months and then worked in singapore as a patient care assistant for 2 years.

anybody have any advice for her ? she lives in quezon city outside of manilla.

thanks everyone !

respectfully yours,

chris

To complicate matters for you:

Highly unexpected that she will be able to get a green card for the US in two years if she is going to be petitioned by an employer. You are looking at about five years for her to get a chance at a visa that way, and I mean chance. With the retrogression in place and the number that are already waiting for the green card, do not expect anything for quite some time to open up.

If you wish to petition here thru a fiance visa, or K-1 as it is called, it requires that you marry within 90 days of her entering the US, or her visa gets cancelled.

So, either scenario is going to have its own issues to deal with. The work that she did in Singapore was not as RN, so does not count as any work experience as an RN. I would recommend that she just go ahead with getting licensed in the state where you are living and then take it from there.

Please let us know if you have any more questions.

Gave you a PM. Make sure she passes the NCLEX-RN exam first before considering petitioning her a fiancee visa. No guarantees she can pass it the first time around and would make things complicated for you if she is on a K-1 but have not passed the exam yet.
