If you are a greencard and go out of US . Never ever spend 1 year or more outside the US . A reentry permit won't allow any greencard to stay for a year or beyond 1 year. If you need to extend your stay beyond 1 year outside the US, I believe there are legal ways but you need to seek a reputable immigration attorney to study your case of extension. It would be easier going back to US , spend some days then go back home again.

RN or LPN graduates who passed PN-NCLEX in the Philippines are qualified to get H2B visa. This is a temporary work visa for 1 year or less and can be renewed yearly up to a maximum of three years. There are 66,000 H2B visa available every year. LPN via H2B working visa is one of the fastest way to get work in the US . While in US , she can take and must pass the RN-NCLEX exam to work as RN and eventually get greencard. Take note that you only need to pass RN-NCLEX and english test of course inorder for the greencard to prosper . CGFNS is no longer needed here.

Dear GirlPhil, Since you are on fiancee visa, go and marry your fiancee first then apply for greencard ( probationary ). Congratulations ! If you go home to the Philippines and study nursing, take note that a greencard holder can only get out of US for less than a year otherwise your greencard will be revoked and you cannot enter the US again. Your husband, a US citizen can stay outside the US without limit and still a US citizen. Enrolling in nursing shool both in US and Philippines is not easy due to some reputable school in PI is not accepting second coursers .Also US nursing schools are limited, I don't think you can be enrolled right away ( probably after two years ). The best possible option for you is find an LPN reputable school in Philippines ( I believe we have one ) that offer eligibility for PN-NCLEX. If you pass PN NCLEX then you can already work as LPN in the US in just one year ! You do not need to take those english test or cgfns or local board exam in the Philippines. Don't forget that while you are studying in PI, go back to US after 6 months to break the one limit of your stay outside the US. Take note that you are already a greencard holder. What you need is just LPN course and PASS the PN-NCLEX. Make your life easier darling! After that, if you want to advance to RN , go and study ASN for another two years then pass RN- NCLEX. Good luck :wink2: .
