ilovetiggerdear, I have a hard time sending you a private message. PM me your ym, i'll tell you the details.

hi suzanne, I talked to you about this sometime ago. I e-mailed you a private message about my problem remember?. Anyways, I'm in constant communication with them and pretty much they are happy there. They are not new grads by the way. most of them are doctor-nurses, so that gives them an edge for specialty areas. Whatever happens with their H1B visa, that is part of the risk they took.Even if it has a lot of issues, it is still an oppurtunity for a better life. Right now, they are just glad they are in the US earning their dollars.

ok I have a first hand experience with this. I tried to apply for H1B, the one for specially trained nurses, got a video interveiw and passed it with flying colors. They even want my petition processed premium. It was pretty much easy. 5 of my friends were also interviewed and passed. That was on April 2008, and guess what they are all now in Florida working. Seems so fast, but this is true. I withdraw my application because I have my documents completed already by the NVC.PD AUg 2006. My husband and I decided to just wait for the immigrant. I have to make a decision, so I opted to stay. But those friends of mine are already there sending me e-mails of how nice Orlando is. I just hope I made the right decision on passing that opportunity.

Regina, After I read your post I immediately called NVC. I thought they stopped processing since no visa is available. But the automated response says that my case was completed on june 18, 2008. Well I just hope visa will be available on October for us. My PD is August 2006.

suzanne, Do you have the links or transcripts of that segmnt on CNN? I wonder what immigration law firm is under investigation? hmm, would it be possible if you can send it privately to me. I have a bad feeling about this.

Suzanne, thanks so much for these information. Im really confused now, a big part of me just wants to wait for my immigrant visa but for how long. Their offer with H1B is just so tempting. One of my friends had interview with the embassy last week and given H1B visa, twas so fast, she just applied last april 2008. I have talked with my green card petitioner, even their CEO. He told me just to wait for my immigrant visa. Nothing beats IV. H1B is just temporary. You never know what will happen in the US with H1B. True. But then he might be saying this for me not to leave. Maybe there are ways of changing H1B to immigrant during my 3 years stay as HIB. Afterall every H1B went this path to immigrant. Have you heard about H1B for critical care? The ones they are hiring are those with special skills. I don't want to mention the hospital and the people that I have talked to, maybe you know them. Guess I just have to pm you. Thanks suzzane

Yes, My immigrant petitioner is from Pennsylvania and the H1B from Florida. Different Company. Their immigrant lawyer said that I can always just change petitioner after one year. True? Your last paragraph suzanne confuses me. How come they are recruiting a lot of nurses for H1B now about a 100 perhaps. Seems like they are so confident that H1B visas will be issued. I already talked with my immigrant petitioner already. They say just to wait for my PD to be current. But at the end of the day, It is still my decision. It's hard, coz I really don't want to mess up with immigration later on.

I have a pending immigrant petition, actually my PD is August 2006, my doc are with the NVC already. After 2 years of waiting because of this retrogression, I explored other means of going to the US. Someone from a Florida Hospital was recruiting nurses for clitical care under H1B visa. I tried asking about it. Got feedbacks that there are some nurses approved and actually had their visas already. Now, my questions, Should i take the plunge and go to US with H1B visa? What will happen with my Immigrant petition then? Can I actually change my status when I arrive in the US? Or should I stay here in my country and just wait for my immigrant visa? Moderators please advise me on this.
