I got mine too! Reach out if you wanna connect before school starts!

Hi! Is there someone that's been going through Swedish Residency or Fellowship program? How was it? Good/bad? Has someone experience from their CVICU? How's the acuity? Staffing? Breaks? Everything that is good to know!

Just wanted to let everyone know that I had my interview and I'm moving to the US in august!

Hows it going for you?

I did.. I'm just waiting for my interview at the embassy, after that I can go to the US and be admitted as a lawful permanent resident.

Hi! So all of my documents has been ready and done at the NVC since beginning of April 2021. I'm just waiting to be scheduled for my interview at the embassy in Sweden so I can immigrate to the US. Originally it should take 2-3 months.. Here I am at 7 months and counting. Is there anyone else in Sweden waiting for a EB3 interview? Or any other country that's stuck at this step? I know there's talk about waiving the interview for healthcare professionals to make us immigrate faster due to covid-19 anyone knows anything bout this and if so when it would possibly change?

Have you heard anything?

I wouldn't be comfortable sharing the employer this openly :). How come you ask?

I guess I have to look at that..! Because it’s insane how everyone is saying different things!

Okay I see what your saying. Then I just need to figure out if the lawyer tells me is true. Because the lawyer yelled me that all healthcare professional that has an accepted I-140 skip the line and get an interview right away.

My thoughts are likewise. I should have contract with the employer first hand. Althought both company and lawyer says its alright as long as both employee (me) and employer has a contract with the law-firm. From my own research regarding time-frames. I've found this: " Your employer (with your help) completes a request for labor certification and sends it to DOL. The DOL's approval means it's confirming that no U.S. workers were available for the job and that you and your employer can go ahead with the process of applying for your green card. There's an exception to this requirement: A few types of jobs don't require labor certification, because they're on the Schedule A list of workers that are in short supply within the United States. Professional nurses and physical therapists have been on the Schedule A list for years." and "Registered nurses may enter the U.S. directly as a lawful permanent resident (LPR) or Green Card status. A benefit afforded to the nursing profession is that presently, the Petition for Alien Worker and U.S. Department of Labor classifies nursing as what is referred to as a "Schedule A" occupation. The advantage is that the oftentimes lengthy and expensive Labor Certification Process can be circumvented. LPR status also allows a nurse and his or her family to permanently reside in the U.S. through a sponsor after meeting certain requirements." So from my understanding, if I file with premium processing the process could take 3-6 months and then I'll be heading over to the US, and then after a few months in the US I'll get my GC. Premium processing means: You pay a fee and Premium Processing for I140 petitions is a service provided by the Department of Homeland Security (USCIS) that offers 15-day processing for certain employment-based petitions and applications. Haha, all this is so confusing, and since everyone says differently.. it's hard to know what to believe.. and it's actually quite a lot of money we're talking about I have to pay up.

Right. So you’d say that what the first law firm says sound reasonable? 3-6 months before heading to the US and then 3-6 months after begin in the US to get my official green card? Also, may I ask? Maybe you don’t know but you sound very experienced or knowledgeable. The company tells me I don’t need to sign a contract with them but only with the law firm? In the contract with the law firm it says they represent both me and the company for a schedule A - I-140 application.. maybe it’s just me feeling insecure by not having a contract with the job itself.

Hi! I’m from Sweden and I have a few questions about immigration and EB3 Visas. I’m a Swedish educated Registered Nurse, BSN. I’ve been working as a RN for the past 2,5 years in Sweden. I’m licensed to practice as a RN in the state of NY, and I hold a Temporary License in Pennsylvania (currently waiting for my permanent license to be issued). I’ve passed the NCLEX (obviously, since I have my US RN licenses), I’ve got my VISA-screen certificate (which also means I passed the IELTS-test). So basically from my knowledge, I have everything that is needed for an EB3. I have an employer in the state of Pennsylvania that wants to hire me. They referred me to a law firm 1 that told me if I pay for premium processing I'll be over in the US within 3-6 months. If not 12 months +. This law firm says I'll get my GC after a few months being in America. However I wanted to double-check this so I asked another law firm (2) about the process.. and that law firm (2) tells me that its impossible to get an EB3 visa within 3-6 months and then have a GC in your hand a few months after you move. That you need a H1B visa move to the US, work and during the time you work - approx 2 years then you get a GC. So I have two law firms stating different things.. and now I don't know what to do? I've got a contract that I can sign and they will file my petition etc.. however.. I wanna make sure I get the EB3 visa not the H1B.. haha I'm so confused...

I needed more documents and a SNN to apply to PA directly. Made more sense to apply to New york

I did take the NCLEX and I'm now licensed in state of NY. Now I'm trying to endorse it to Pennsylvania which isn't the easiest without SSN and being out of the country to leave fingerprints etc...
