AOS is the petitioner's responsibility, once that is done, you will then be advised to send your docs to NVC or through your agency

So many were caught off guard (for a good reason) with the 1 yr jump on Visa Bulletin for those from EB3 Philippines. I guess it's time to ensure that your documents are still valid especially Visa Screen.

search around, so many are hiring for US: ADEX, IPAMS, MEDPRO, AVANT, HEALTH CAROUSEL/PASSPORT USA, WORLDWIDE HEALTH/HEALTHSTAFF.ORG

So many are doing that, they work in UK while waiting for their application in the US, once their Priority Dates become current and their case progress towards embassy interview, that's just part of the process, it's a lengthy process, before you kno...

correct

it won't affect your UK application should you pursue your application to US

it depends on your country of birth, at the moment those born from Philippines have 7 yrs of waiting as the current visa bulletin is still at 2009

Visa Bulletin

yeah, embassy interviews are just like a verification of the information submitted, the immigration process timeline depends on which birth country you are from

wait between 4-6 weeks for your P4 to arrive

it usually take 30 days for them to review your documents, in some cases, it takes 45 days, you may try to call them and ask, they normally answer queries like this.

This is quite opposite in one of the hospitals in London, for the past 2 years until this week, they have hired around 200 nurses already, the last batch I guess will be coming from India and there will be 30 of them. The Trust took the opportunity ...

my say on this, yes, there is no shortage of Nurses perhaps (if referring to newly Registered Nurses w/o experience), but for Nurses with specialization already like ICU, A&E, Renal, then I guess, there are still shortages in this field.

if I may ask, do you know where to apply to Canada if you are in UK? did you use agencies? or did you go through direct to the hospital? any info helps...thanks....

congratulations to you and best of luck to your new life in the US.....

just an update though on my previous post. I-140 approved on Jan. 5, 2008 - I am then officially included in the list of those affected with Retrogression.

in my case, PD - Jun 25 2007, still waiting as well, I will give it few more weeks due to the holiday season, so, am hopeful something comes up by mid January 2008...

I would just like to ask what's the difference of Schedule A Nurses and skilled worker/professional in the table presented for I-140 update. (in my receipt notice, the section was skilled worker/professional)

this may seem misleading for some Filipino RN, yes, you can join the program but you will be studying in UK with the option to work. With a student visa, you are only allowed to work 20 hours per week. This is only good for those who really want to...

now we can more or less speculate as to the approval timeline of I-140...thanks dave for the update and best of luck and you are a step ahead of those who have not received their approval yet....

still no mentioned as to the I-140 approval timeline.

Hi, I'm a newbie here, currently working as a RN here in London, United Kingdom, and recently passed the NCLEX exam....the agency here offered me a job at Rhode Island Hospital and I am requesting for any information about the hospital, environment,...

still not updated???

what do you think of the timescale for I-140 approval these days? I understand there were plenty of applications in the previous months, thus, it might affect the approval timeline of the services center, e.g. texas service center at that...
