I'm planning to move to Chicago in the next couple of months. My Immigration paperwork is at the embassy & i'm waiting for a date for my interview. I have an interest in working in Renal transplant at Rush Medical Center. Does anyone have any comments on this hospital or better still work there?? I would appreciate any advice re hospitals in Chicago as i am moving from Ireland & have limited information about hospitals other than what my agency has told me.

My I-140 (Schedule A) had a receipt date of July 7th '05 in CSC. It was transfered to TSC on Mar 22nd & i got approved on Apr 13th. Hope the rest of ye won't be waiting too much longer.:cheers:

Firstly i think all of us who filed our I-140's through CSC should be given an explanation as to why they have not processed any application since June '05-other than the fact that they are not doing their job. I think the transferred applications should be processed by receipt date as that is the length of time that the USCIS has had our applications sitting waiting to get processed. All the CSC should be cleared before processing any new applications to TSC as we will still have had a longer wait time. Hopefully for all of us TEXAS will be efficient & get through the backlog quickly so we can all get on with our lives & not be held to ransom by the USCIS any longer

My I-140 (Schedule A) was also transferred from CSC to TSC on Mar 22nd. I had a receipt date of July 7th '05 in CSC. I received an email from USCIS. Has anyone been issued a new receipt date?? I wonder will they treat the transferred applications as PRIORITY as we have been held up by the CSC for so long with no explanation.

The ongoing nursing shortage in the US is made worse by the lengthy process that internationally trained nurses have to go through to be permitted to work in the US. I am both CGFNS & NCLEX certified since Aug '05. Due to the lengthy wait for I-140 Schedule A approval (California service centre) i am still waiting to move to the US. My application was transferred to the Texas service centre on Mar 22nd so who knows how much longer it will take. Immigration certainly does not do the nursing shortage any favours.
