I have a friend here in the states who has filled for her AOS from F-1 to an I-140, is she able to file for EAD right way?

I got the information below from the USCIS bulletin, I would like to know if a nurse with BSN or MSN will be classified as stated below: Second : Members of the Professions Holding Advanced Degrees or Persons of Exceptional Ability: 28.6% of the worldwide employment-based preference level, plus any numbers not required by first preference. Is this H-1 or simply a different classification of an I-140? Please Susanne4 and Lawrence HELP WITH AN ANSWER!

This is a great news for all! Have faith all of you! US never fails. It may take time but they always come through at the end. I hope all those who are trying to come to the US are truly hard working people, and not get to the US and six months after leave their facility. Hospitals are having a lot of problem retaining their foreign workers, after spending thousands of dollars getting them to the US.

If by July this year nothing happens, you can Kiss the Immigration issue Good Bye 'till 2009

they have a monthly externships www.foreignnurseseducation.com phone numbers are not permitted when advertising for a company.

this is a perfect example of how it can work if you try hard enough with the right documentations. i guess there is a little difference between your program and the one above. each candidate in the website above will get to do what is called the "curricular practical training" which simply means 20 hrs a week of externship in a hospital with stipend of $1000.00 per month paid to each nurse. the students leave in the university rooms and board which is paid for by the hospital. nurses take about five courses for 19 weeks ($3500.00). the truth is that if a nurse can legally come to this country, to study and train while they wait for the retrogression to be lifted, there should not be nothing wrong with it. you are here legally! working legally! with your ss#! and work permit! i do not see what is wrong with that. as we have seen, the interview is not easy, but we also know that denial does not stop you from applying for i-140 green card later after the retrogression. even with the retrogression lifted, it is still a faster route to the us. what you call a royal screw in the us may not be considered a royal screw by us outside the us. i strongly believe that if you see the conditions that many of these foreign nurses live and what they go through in their various countries, you will not be so sure that we are being screwed. as you said, working in the us is a privilege not a right, sometimes it is ok to start low and with america being what it is, we know things will get better. i guess some of us are more willing to exchange our country royal screw with america royal screw. with strong hope that with this great country called usa our salvation will have an end soon. but in our country, we have no hope of it ending in our life time. the f-1 visa is not for everyone. i hope all of you think about your individual situation very well and make the decision that will best serve your goals. kkalu

If your recruiter have not filed with USCIS then you have a better chance of being able to get F-1 visa

I was told that if you have applied for green card you may not be able to get the student visa. The F-1 visa is only being given to the nurse and not their families, that's what I was told.

With what I heard yesterday, I think the democrats will do what they do best which is make promises to poor American communities and later do nothing about it. Come the end of the year, we will still be talking of the same retrogression story. Every party is being cautious of not side stepping or over stepping against NEXT YEAR PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. MY QUESTION TO SUSAN AND LAWRENCE is HOW LONG DID IT TAKE TO APPROVE 50,000 VISAS TO SOLVE THE LAST RETROGRESSION IN 2005? Hospitals are teaming up with Universities and Colleges to find other solutions to the RETROGRESSION PROBLEM. And the consuls in various American Embassies and consulates worldwide are supporting it, by granting students visas to many nurses to study here in the US. Example is the Christian University issue with Korean Nurses. While you all wait, lots of nurses overseas are going into US and England with students F-1 Visas from Universities and Colleges ($3500 tuition and fees for 19 weeks) which allows them to work 20hrs a week, while they are waiting for the Green card retrogression, the F-1 is renewed as needed. (http://www.foreignnurseseducation.com/files/admission/admission.php). You either wait in your country or in US legally, its your choice. Even if you did not get the student visa, you still can apply for the green card when it finally come out. I have 8 of my friends who have gone for the student visa and 7 of them got the visa. I am currently waiting for my CES from CGFNS to go for my student visa. Students get stipend while they study for their NCLEX. Affiliated hospitals pay this stipend. http://www.foreignnurseseducation.com. I am not trying to change anybodies mind here but if the option is there, I think we should all know about it.

Which are the states with Acute nurse shortages?

I am a UK based nurse applying for visa screen certificate-i graduated from a royal air force hospital over 20 years ago-and this no longer exists-the UK board of nursing has sent all my qualifications but CGFNS say they need transcript validation form from hospital that no longer esxists-how do i get around this?-thanks Someone posted this the other day and I am kind of wanting to know the answer to the above. Thanks
