hi suzanne, i have asked questions before also. And have got enormous help from you. To short, I am currently in US in F1 status and I am trying to bring my wife who is a nurse to US as soon as possible. By reading replies to my questions here i got to know that it will take MINIMUM 3 yrs for her to reach here through normal mode and start working. But i heard of an agency in india called "pinnacle" giving an advertisement that nurses (who have BSc(4yr course) in india) can reach here through student visa and can attend a 1 yr course in some university in Georgia. then they will conduct RN during the course itself and she has to work in their hospital for 2 yrs. But they r also specifying that there is no bond n she can change the job if she wants. the tolal cost is 14500$ including tutiion fees, accomodation and food for 1 yr. but i read in your post that there is no H1 visa available for nurses and everybody has to go thru the procedure of greencard. And it will take a lot of time for getting the greencard coz of rretrogression nowadays. Then does it mean that this agency is not sayin the truth? do you happen to know anything about this course in university in georgia or anything else that i shud know abt studying here and work as a nurse afterwards??

thnq.i know wats a thread. but need to now more abt this retrogression.!!cud anyone plz tell me where can i find out the related threads? or can anyone plz explain it to me?? also i find this site very useful..i've brrowsed in similar public forums. but none has given replies to the queries with this much accuracy, preciseness and speed.i like to thanq evryone working behind this..

hello there, i think this is a very peculiar querry to be asked.let me explain my situation 1st. i'm not a nurse but my wife is a nurse n she needs to come to us asap. i'm now in india n 've got admit to one univ in texas for ms in engg on a f1 student visa. i learn that i can bring my wife to us on f2 visa(as a dependent). as a nurse she still need to take ielts n nclex/cgfns.she will finish with it in the next 6 months frm india only.afterwards when she applies for the greencard i find that its a timeconsuming process if she does it in india. i learned frm the websites that once she is in us n apply for ajustment of status then she will get a work permit in 90 days(the processing time in india takes abt 1 year). so i plan to bring her to us on f2 visa. then i will try for an employer sponser frm texas for her. then will apply for i140. then will apply for the adjustment of status n the work permit.(i assume that this whole process will take only max 4 months to get the work permit) now i will ask my doubts one by one. 1. is watever i assumed above correct??(i mean the time taken for the processing n all) 2. i want to know whether she can apply for a change of status while she is in the us on an f2 visa?? 3. will i too be getting the greencard on her careoff as i'm her husband??(note that i need it while i'm on f1 visa) 4 whether my plan of getting the greencard n work permit in the us is easier n faster for her or just be there in the india n apply for the green card is easier n faster??

thnqu very much for ur advice n ur will to share infos. but cud u plz tell me wat u mean by this threads on retrogession?? also cud u plz tell me how long this whole process will take, in any way possible for her, to reach US by the current processing time if she has passed the nclex??
