HI! I just would like to inquire if all those who recently took Nclex for California and passed will be able to see their names at the CA BON website even if one does not have SSN? Please help. I just took mine yesterday! What should I expect? Wh...
Hi again...I am planning to take IELTS soon here in Manila. I heard that British Council examiners are much more generous in giving higher band rates than IDP examiners. Is this true? I am not quite good in speaking but confident in reading, listen...
I've heard of this new english exam (TOEFL iBT) that doesn't require TSE. It is similar to IELTS. The good thing is that there is a way to by-pass the spoken band minimum requirement by being active in CGFNS certification. This way, we only have...
Hi to all, what do you think is less risky and much faster to get an immigrant visa (green card) - consular processing or adjustment of status? There are a lot of different opinions about this. Can I know your view as well specially to those who hav...
Hi! I'd like to know if you know of a hospital in California, pref. in LA, San Diego, SFO, or Sac, that directly hires and sponsors (EB3 visa) a foreign graduate with Ca. license?
I may not have made it this year....but who's going to stop me...God is always by my side....I know He has prepared something better for me in the coming years... May all of us be blessed and be able to reach for our own stars.....to dream the imposs...
I've been to the US several times as a tourist and have observed some noticeable things about my fellow countrymen. 1. We now realized the difference between the red, amber, and green lights. 2. We also began to understand that the striped lines al...

Direct hire is better than agency. However, due to the retrogression, facilities or hospitals are shying away from hiring foreign nurses because it is a long wait for them. My personal experience was that I was interviewed by the hospital and was...

Dear Suzzane, what happens after this surge of AOS applications in the US? Will there be a long retrogression? Are we seeing two or three years retrogression for the Philippines' EB3?

I even found a contract that says "if the agency cannot find an employer for the client (nurse), the client shall pay the agency with all the expenses incurred plus 20,000 USD"... Can you imagine that?
FutureUSRN replied to Qatrn's topic in International
Very true...for that reason, my lawyer is filing my I-140 this coming August....getting a visa is another story....I have no problem waiting actually...I am still enjoying my life....it's summer time, you know... regarding trusting the Visa Bulletin...
FutureUSRN replied to Qatrn's topic in International
It means, three months of waiting.... it means, we have ample time to prepare all our documents... it means , we have enough time to plan our way forward.... it means, we cannot trust the visa bulletins anymore....

Retrogression starts again before it ended......it isn't really over....hang-on and wait for October bulletin...that is if we can still trust the DOS Visa Bulletin....
FutureUSRN replied to suzanne4's topic in International
If the DOS will revise the July Bulletin to make all EB-3 Visas retrogressed, then it would somehow help nurses push the Schedule A only bridge....I am thinking positively....hopefully, something good will come out of bad things...
FutureUSRN replied to alina_zhuang's topic in International
If you are just at the beginning stage such as at the filing of the I-140 stage, I would suggest that your petition be filed using the premium processing so that by July, you got it approved (or denied). If lady luck strikes, you could be one of ...

Yes, it could retrogress heavily in October. However, I do not see that the Philippines will suffer that much compared to India and China. The new CIR could affect new application. This is what I am worried about. NO TO CIR!
FutureUSRN replied to lawrence01's topic in Immigration
I agree that it is better for this current CIR to be dead for now....there is nothing in it that will help foreign nurses...it's all about border security and legalization of illegals....much worse, nurse will get fewer points in the "merit-based sy...
