but even if you have a BSN RN from the US, most nurses are on AOS...waiting...only OPT brand new nurses...I talked to recruiters and they understand tnat a provision does not make sense b/c they looking for experienced ICU and ER nurses... Experinced nurse=saved lives

Talked to recruiter: they do not take AOS people"b/c green card already filed". So what? Does not make any sense....They will ytake any kind of non-immigrant visa but will not take somebody whose 5 steps ahead in immigration process:)+ 5 steps ahead in clinical practice also. + They want basically, ICU and ER nurses only

There is one more RN killed in Afghanistan, i know:(. I got my BSN from US school. My problem is that I am with PD 2006, AOS, and my daughter in my home country-I cannot bring her here until I get a GC. It has been measurable.

Hi, guys! Do you know if AOS people qualify for the MAVNI program? They listed all kind of visas, refugees, etc. but there is no AOS ?

I think, Silverdragon, that it does not make sense if immigration does it but there are a lot of things that do not make things we see....I just wanted to know if anybody ever used AC 21 with traveler company? or any hospital or employer? What kind of paperwork is involved?

It sounds pretty bad. I wonder why if they issue the law, and they count it against you? What would be the base for denial in this case? People who use AC@21 do not violate the law, they do not do anything illegal. Does anybody, actually, used AC21? Can travel company be used in this portability law?

I guess I do not understand the concept: do I have to be petitioned again?No, right..Petition already filed, and I-485 is pending. I have to stay in the same field being RN. There is no more petitioning has to be involved:), is it?

Suzanee, thank you so much for your quick replies:). What kind of paperwork? Everything is filed by my first "petitioner" hospital. What I anticipate I will need from them is RFE-job offer. What have you heard about Intelistaff and Country Cross? I 've seenyour posts in travelers blog, do you have any information about them? What do I need for AC21? Thank you so much:)

They accept work permit without any trouble. I've talked to American Traveler, Intelistaff and PPR, -any problems, since I can work anywhere with work permit. My problem is : does immigration care if I work for travel company since it is kind of full time job but not really? Do you know how to file AC 21?

Hi, guys! I've worked in my hospital for 2 years. my contract is up:). My I-140 approved in 2006, and I-485 been pending for more than a year. I talked to my lawyer and she states that I can change my employer any time. The quetsio is: can I work as a traveler nurse for travel company picking up 3 month assignments (full time). Will that be considered the same job since I work as RN and in a hospital settings but through the agency? I would love to hear Ms. Suzanne opinion but I appreciate all of your responses:).

I am from Ukraine which is located right by Russia. Two countries are very similar and nursing profession is the same. There is no RN degree in our countries, 2 years degree is required to be a nurse. Nursing profession is underpaid and they make literally nothing. Hospitals are not "high tech" but mostly 18 th century compare to the US at the most parts of the country. Depends what you are looking for, but I would say that our nurse it is like LPN or even less.

for Calabash: 1-800-3755283-then 1-then 2-then 2-then 6-then 1 -#receipt number-then 1-THEN 3-THEN 4 try, I called and talked to NSC, good luck, and let me know how did it go :)

Yes , I will need to find somebody to sponsor (file I-140). There is a shortage of nursing teachers as well as RNs. ANd it is a primary problem: we ( them) do not have enough nursing faculty to teach. I think with MSN it will not be a problem to find a school to petition for me. They even hire now people with BSN to teach (in some Juco's). EB 2 is current :)

Yes, I already applied to renew my EAD for next yesr, which is 340 $ now. I am sad b/c it will take so long and Ihave a child at home. I am looking to get MSN in education and change to EB2. Do you think that there is a chence for EB2 to retrogress? I assume if I get into EB2 , at least I can save myself 2-3 years of waiting? there is an accelearted MSN in ed. : 1-year program, so by 2009 I will have MSN degree. Do u think it is worth a risk?
