   you cannot use your approved i-140 for another employer, it was specific to your present one. but you can retain your pd for the next approved petition. once an i-140 is approved, you get to keep the pd for any subsequent i-140 petitions. i have come...

2. March 2009 Visa Bulletin

   lost_stranger replied to greenjungle's topic in International

   By all means do carry on spreading the message. I just found it strange, that the thread discussing the next visa bulletin did not have a single member who's actually waiting for his/her PDs to go current.

3. Topic of the Day: GO AWAY FOREIGN NURSES!

   lost_stranger replied to yoginurse2b's topic in Immigration

   When a set of posters pass negative comments against all the nurses from a particular country and malign the nation's entire nursing education system then I really don't see how it could lead to a positive discussion or debate. I have seen lot of pos...

4. Topic of the Day: GO AWAY FOREIGN NURSES!

   lost_stranger replied to yoginurse2b's topic in Immigration

   Over the years this forum has been very helpful to foreign nurses. I have seen the moderators try to answer each and every query posted by new foreign nurses. They go to great lengths to repeat certain information for the benefit of the first time po...

6. They have spoken..

   lost_stranger replied to SilverSurfer's topic in International

   Oh yes, even I have come across this contradiction. Hiring foreign nurses is cheaper or more expensive depending on how the poster wants to put the point across that foreign nurses are a strict no no. The arguement reads like this: Hiring foreign nur...

   lost_stranger replied to SilverSurfer's topic in International

   You seem to believe that limiting the number of applicants from particular countries will imporve the quality of candidates applying. The eligibility crtieria for a visa is determined by the country issuing the visas. If certain countries are produci...

8. 10 Year Retrogression

   lost_stranger replied to greenjungle's topic in International

   Why 10? Retrogression is not directly proportional to recession. Say the economic crisis worsens further, does it mean that the years of retrogression will move to 20? If anything, recession should have the opposite effect with reduction in the numb...

   lost_stranger replied to SilverSurfer's topic in International

   I am not a big fan of the per country quota system actually, The visas were provided to allow foreign RNs and PTs to relieve the severe shortage in US i.e. for the benefit of American patients and not to provide equal career oppurtunities to nurses f...

10. They have spoken..

    lost_stranger replied to SilverSurfer's topic in International

    Thanks for pointing it out. Direct from the horse's mouth, info is neither from immigration attorney web-sites nor from postings of nurses working in US. Facts are provided by USCIS with relevant sources and numbers. Can't get more unbiased than this...

11. Recession and Retrogression

    lost_stranger replied to greenjungle's topic in International

    You have got your facts wrong Retrogression is a backlog due to a difference in the number of visa applicants and available visa numbers for each year and also because of the number of visas wasted each year by the USCIS. DOL still has RN classified ...

12. Stop applying to the USA

    lost_stranger replied to greenjungle's topic in Immigration

    The message that Philippines should improve its standards of nursing education so that the quality of foreign nurses applying to US improves seems highly presumptuous to me. While many members here seem to have strong opinions about who should be eli...

    How is this related to retrogression?
