  3. Immigration to USA with NO MONEY

    SpidersWeb replied to shirdal's topic in Immigration Advice

    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...

  7. Buying scrubs for the first time

    SpidersWeb posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    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...

    SpidersWeb replied to smgrn's topic in International Nursing

    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...

    I'm now waiting to have my case transferred to the NVC after the initial approval almost a month ago. I got my license from the state of

    I never asked for it but I got a copy of the approval notice emailed to me in 3 weeks after the initial

  11. License by endosement

    SpidersWeb replied to Jmikle_09's topic in Nurse Registration

    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...

    SpidersWeb replied to smgrn's topic in International Nursing

    I'm glad others can benefit from the information. I also hope it helps you guys stay motivated! I think the IELTS score is only required for the VisaScreen, so as long as you already have the VS...

    I hope you'll get an update soon after the evidence is

  14. Avant Healthcare

    SpidersWeb replied to smgrn's topic in International Nursing

    I'm a little confused: Did you get an RFE or a denial? They wouldn't refile if it's just an RFE, they would just submit the requested further

  15. Crap! Am I a crusty old bat nurse?? Carrying pens...

    SpidersWeb replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I don't really need pens because we use EMRs. Sometimes I'll write a to do list or vitals on a Post-It note or sign narcotics but other than that everything is

    SpidersWeb replied to smgrn's topic in International Nursing

    When did you receive the RFE? Have your lawyers already provided the USCIS with the evidence? I really hope you will get good news after the further evidence has been processed. Another RFE doesn't...

  17. Avant Healthcare

    SpidersWeb replied to smgrn's topic in International Nursing

    I got the initial approval on my petition April 6. Because it's expected that the NVC will receive my case in 4-8 weeks, I was asked to provide Avant with my civil documents (birth certificate,...

    SpidersWeb replied to smgrn's topic in International Nursing

    A recruitment company like Avant is in a unique position because they're an intermediary in the process. A client facility pays Avant for providing them with international nurses and then Avant's pays...

  19. Worktime issues in the US

    SpidersWeb posted a topic in General Nursing

    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...

    SpidersWeb replied to smgrn's topic in International Nursing

    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...

    SpidersWeb replied to smgrn's topic in International Nursing
