There are several companies like Avant Healthcare Professionals, Passport USA and O'Grady Peyton that currently sponsor RNs to the US. The terms & conditions are different from one to another and...
I'm still waiting to get an update from the NVC. Recent trends show 8-10 weeks but for me it's only been 7 weeks now since my case was sent from the USCIS to the NVC. I'll let you know when I get the...
Ah, you haven't even received an RFE, denial or approval. Have they really not told you anything? What was the last email you received? Have you contacted anyone else except your immigration...
Hey alex1992, What are you expecting from them at this time? I mean you said you're from the Philippines and your PD is April 2017. The latest visa bulletin is at January 2017, so your case is only...
Those of you who have to buy your own scrubs, help out a colleague who has only ever used hospital-provided and laundered scrubs. I'm soon moving to the US and I've understood I'll need to invest in...
I don't think it's a fair assessment to make on incomplete data. We don't know the total number of cases, the number of RFEs, denials or approvals. How do we determine "a lot" from our limited...
Nevada doesn't have the application system online but you can find the endorsement application form here. They also have instructions and criteria listed here. The NCSBN seems to recognize the NMI as...

Besides accounts of not having enough time to pee or eat, I'm appalled by stories from American nurses being shamed and blackmailed to come in early (30 min before official shift start) and staying...
Personally I don't think it's a good idea to give up right now before seeing this process through the second time. I understand it's heartbreaking and devastating but you're now closer than ever to...
She received the RFE at the end of March and Avant promised to reply the RFE within 30 days, so she's still waiting. Once further evidence is submitted, the process should still continue to be...
I'm sorry to hear that it's been a rocky road for you but many of us have had to go through similar disappointing experiences. Even if waiting can make you anxious, nervous and lose faith, this is the...
