According to her she was given a 5,000 sign on bonus.

Maybe you did'nt write the correct format when sending them email, did you put your case number on the "Subject" of the email? The name of the petitioner and the beneficiary's name must also be written on the letter. or maybe you change you email address that's why it didn't match in their records.

Hello pampangaKid, I am not under H1-C, I undergo CP, I am waiting for my packet 4 or interview schedule at the American consulate in the Philippines. But I do have a friend who went the same route as yours- H1C, and she was offered a salary of $26/hr when she signed up with them in 2005 before the retrogression lifted, then her salary increase 3 times within two years, she's now receiving $34/hr, 36hrs/week, with night and evening diff, weekend diff of 4$ and a holiday pay of one time and half, not bad I think compare to my salary offer:o of less than 25$/hr, 40hrs/week.:angryfire What state are you going?

It is better to see the mailed checklist from the NVC, you will see there the actual missing or incomplete documents that they need, my lawyer scanned and emailed me the letter from NVC, and my own eyes saw that passport copy is what they need so my lawyer resubmitted it for the 2nd time around, maybe ask your lawyer a copy of this letter if possible.

Thank you agp_ph! I advised my lawyer to call the NVC and she did, the only requirement missing is a copy of passport which was already resubmitted last July 17, 2007 but I don't know why they want to rebsubmit it again:madface:

Hi agp_ph, do you know what's taking long for the NVC to reply to email inquiries? I emailed them last August 2 but til now I didn't receive any word from them....

H1-B is not available for nurses, maybe the agency wants to say H1C visa.

May I know if the hospital orientation of foreign nurses let's say 12weeks is a paid orientation? what I mean to say is that will these nurses receive their salary while under the orientation?

Yeah I have a friend who is working in Mercy Hospital in Baltimore Maryland under the H1-C visa, and according to her the place is very nice and the hospital too. I think not all hospital who petition H1-C have a bad environment, I think it depends on the place of the hospital.

Thank you for the prompt response Siverdragon and Suzy13!!!!

hi suzy13! may i know what is your visa when you get there in the us? thanks. you can pm me your response.

hi pinoy_guy! may i know what kind of visa did your friend use when he goes to the us?

hi fruity! i think you case is not yet finished, coz if it is, the mail would state "you are documentarily qualified"

Hi Suzanne4! If you're saying that you cannot have two petitions submitted at the same time for immigrant status therefore is it possible to have 1 pending immigrant(family sponsored) petition and 1 non immigrant petition eg. H1B,H1C etc?

Thank you so much Suzanne4, you're such a big help to all foreign nurses in this forum! God speed!
