The important thing to bear in mind is that as long as your employer has not cancelled the job offer, you are still good to go. No matter how bleak the situation is, it is still your decision to come here.

Whatever is said and written here by both sides, nothing can stop nurses from coming over here, try coming over here, think of coming over here and dream of coming over here UNLESS USofA makes it illegal for foreign nurses to work here.Nuff said and ...

We know there are lots of job lay-offs and increasing number of people with no jobs. But there are still lots of jobs for everyone, American citizens or not. That is if you are not looking for the job you LIKE or you are just not looking very hard.

Filipino nurses have no intention of taking jobs away from Americans. We completely agree with you that in ones country, the citizens comes first. You say that nursing jobs now should be offered first to Americans, then let the hospitals,nursing home...

I dont know if this is true to most of the recruited nurses from the Philippines but I know a lot them who were able to reimburse their expenses in the NCLEX review and review books,NCLEX,CGFNS,English language test,visa fee and airfare.

They are correct. Philippines is the number one for those taking the NCLEX Exam who are educated outside the US and not the number one passers. But let us still give to those who passed.

From what I understand on Silversurfer's post, he is just stating from his knowledge the average age of Filipino nurses and American nurses. No issue is attached to it. He probably means that Filipinos have years to waste while waiting for their Amer...

"I guess this must be a difference in belief system. I would not encourage my family or friends to dream the impossible, especially if they were putting financial resources into this dream." But sir, the American Dream is very much possible. Nurses a...

No one has the right to tell the 99% of those 1,000,000 + nurses that their American Dream is a NO DREAM. It is their dream if that is their dream for that matter. It is everyones right to dream.We are not even entirely sure if all of them have the A...

I dont see any logic in comparing Death with the American Dream. The history of America is full of dreamers with their seemingly impossible dreams. Independence,the abolition of slavery, womens right to vote, desegregation of schools and a lot more w...

seamusglas, Additional information: 1.Spouse and unmarried children (21 yrs old and below) can accompany you or follow to join you at a later date (as long as their visas are still valid) when they are included in your DS230 form as Silverdragon has ...

"Godbless. Don't Believe that there is no visas available. Visas are there despite of the RETRO, the thing is, your PD must be current plus you should be documentarily qualified for the Visa Center to allocate you with a visa number. And by the time ...

pretty neirelle, Congratulations!!!!News like this really makes my day! Such a great feeling to hear that another one has made it thru. Would it be a bother if you can share to us about your embassy interview especially regarding the job offer? Your ...

One can never really tell how much it will move. The reality is that the advance and retreat of the past VB is erratic. Anything can happen and is possible as we can see from the history of the VB.

Its official. The November Visa Bulletin has been released. E3ROW and E3Phil is May 1, 2005. An advance of 4 months. Good indication for all whose PDs are 2005. Your time may be this 2009 fiscal year. Keep the faith!!!!

pretty neirelle, 1. If there was any problems regarding your medicals, the doctors at St. Luke's would have told you and advised you what to do next. If the doctors there did not mention anything about you or your family members, then all is fine. 2....

But Topscot mentioned/stated that it was the hospital who assured her that the job offer will still be standing for her to which Suzanne remarked that the hospital is not being truthful to Topscot. So the question still stands.What is the reason for ...

I have a couple of questions: 1. If the hospital is not being truthful to Topscot that the job offer is still standing, why would they be so and what on earth is their reason? 2. If the visa situation is so bleak for the nurses to come over here beca...

There is one thing that can be done to verify all the confusion about the job offer letter and that is to check with the US embassy first. Secondly ask about this from the hospital that is petitioning you and if possible if you can, also from an immi...

Allez, If you already have a date for consular interview, why is your lawyer asking for another set of documents? How did you find out about your date of interview?

pretty neirelle, If you got the date of med exam and embassy interview from the Manila US embassy website by using your Case Number then that information is 100%reliable. Don't worry that the date of the med exam and interview are the same. Mine was ...

Congratulations pretty neirelle!!! Hoping that other waiting will soon have theirs.

Yes the June PD did go backward from 2006 to 2005 and it happened on the 2nd half of that fiscal year as I also mentioned would be possible on my second post(speaking of which I am wondering why I don't see here). The only fact I am trying to point o...

One can clearly see on the previous VBs published by the US State Department that the PD of the beginning month(October) of the fiscal year do not retrogress within the first half of that fiscal year. The PD either stays the same or advance a bit or ...

Allez, Congratulations for having your interview sked. If you would not mind, I would like to advise that you re-sked your medicals 2 to 3 weeks before your interview. This is to give you extra time if ever unexpected problems will come up on your me...
