Im Just speaking out for those nurses who did it and done it! And Im not talking about last summer,hmm, just last week--how come it was done. Wayta go! Just as long as no laws are being broken---Do it!

Hi! I do not want to press the issue, Let me answer you with all the issues that you have pointed out. 1.Retrogression! Yes, nurses are in line --TRUE!!! I Cannot argue with that.But to say that A nurse cannot adjust its status, I must disagree! So tell me If I'm a nurse who passed the NCLEX here in the Philippines. with complete credentials(IELTS,etc). And I get a 6 months worth of tourist visa to go to the US. I hire a lawyer, whom has an employer lined up for me. (Non-Immigrant Work Visa may be issued to applicants seeking temporary work in a "Specialty Occupation" which requires the skills of a professional. "Specialty Occupations" include e.g. accounting, computer analysts, programmers, database administrators, web designers, engineers, financial analysts, doctors, nurses, scientists, architects and lawyers.The petitions are submitted by employers based on their need for the non-U.S.-resident employee. The applicant may possess a bachelor's degree or requisite experience to make up for the lack of a master’s degree. ) To which that employer sponsors me for a non immigrant working visa.He/she doesnt even have to post it with Dept of labor because of the special considerations. Is that ILLEGAL??? Let me quote you "There is no way to fix or adjust papers any longer, what you are giving is plain bad advice and grounds for getting deported for overstaying a visa." HUH?? you gotta be kidding me! No disrespect, but I really disagree with your OPINIONS. And let me point out this--its not taking CUTS in line. It's being smart and knowing the right options the line AINT movin' an inch. 2. You cannot be deported if your visa does not expire(6 months is enough time to fix your papers).. So you have to anticipate that before you leave --like for instance, you already have things lined up like an employer,lawyer,etc. 3. I am not the authority nor am I the expert. This option is not ILLEGAL!

HUH! then how come my friend got her Permanent Residency just recently. All she did was pass the neclex in CA with a tourist visa and she didnt even have a Social Security Number. Her employer got it for her. And plus, She got it with her Hospital Signing bonus. So whats thats? The key is! So as long as you fixed your papers before your Touristvisa expires you will be fine. No guts! noglory!

Hi! Looks like there is no hope for you to go to the U.S. unless you've got a tourist visa to go there. If you can get that then your good to go. I mean people, there is a way to beat the system. A lot of my friends who passed the NCLEX applied for a tourist visa and then they fixed their papers there really quick. Now if you ask me AU or US ??? I'd choose Au. Pay is good!Life is much laid back, friendly people, lesser violence! I mean, You dont hear people in Australia getting shot up tryin to buy some stuff in a liquor store. In the states it happens every hour. Like I bet you right now, this very second. Some poor ol liquor stores getting jacked for some chum change and picture this, you just got out from your night shift and you feel like getting something to drink off of that store and what do you know, your at that liquor store thats gettin' robbed. SCARY? Thats a fact. If you want to do a bridging course wc has a reasonable price check out www.qnc.qld.gov.au----AU$850 per module X 4 modules and if u beat their CHALLENGE test--no need to do the bridging.APPLIES only to Queensland. FAST ASSESSMENTS--3 weeks http://www.anmc.org.au/docs/International_docs/Competency%20based%20Assessments%20for%20Internationally%20Qualified%20Nurses%20and%20Midwives.pdf Good luck !

Hello again! The IELTS isnt a test of knowledge. Its a test of how well you understand the instructions given to you and how well you can communicate the info/data that you've got. All IELTS exam are the same! It just comes in different settings or topics but the format is FIXED. Those review centers are just irritants! TIP: For Academ-writing 1: memorize the words necessary to describe a graph---ex: Increase,decline,etc...by doing this you will have more time in your Academ-writng 2 wc is a lil bit harder. http://www.ieltsprepinfo.com/ielts_study_guide.htm http://www.aippg.com/ielts/strategies%20for%20speaking.htm Just practice this format and you will be SAFE and also search the web for some practice tests. I hope this helps---GOODLUCK!

I think the point here is which ever is the fastest way out of Philly is the best way. Ok, the topic here is nurses for New Zealand, isnt it also expensive with the NZ nursing modules + airfare + review materials + etc +etc? ---US? Passed the Nclex!Hmmm! but can you beat the long LINE? What Im saying is, to avoid the modules or course study there is an option to take the challenge test and avoid all the hassle of study.Right? Provided that you are confident with your nursing skills- But if you know of a better way ---please lead! thanks..

hello--hope this helps! http://www.immi.gov.au/legislation/amendments/2003/030301/lc1032003-12.htm Student visa changes 1 March 2003 - Legislation change Client summary From 1 March 2003, immigration law has been amended to give effect to changes to the Student Visa Program. The changes are detailed below. Technical details Additional information: New waiver provision for condition 8534 The 'No Further Stay' condition 8534 precludes the student visa holder from making a valid application for a further visa (except a Protection visa, subclass 497 Graduate-Skilled visa, or Student visa with permission to work) while they remain in Australia. However, condition 8534 may be waived. The waiver provisions require the student visa holder to have applied for a subclass 497 (Graduate-Skilled) visa and restricts the person to making further applications for skilled migration only, while they remain in Australia. Alternatively, the student visa holder must demonstrate that compassionate and compelling circumstances exist which support the grant of a further visa. From 1 March 2003, condition 8534 may also be waived if the person: is registered as a nurse in Australia or satisfies the requirements for registration as a nurse in Australia; and meets certain English language proficiency requirements. Persons who have condition 8534 waived under the new provision are subject to a new regulation 2.07AH. This regulation provides that the initial visa application made after the waiver is limited and they are only able to make a valid application for a subclass 457 (Business (Long Stay)) visa. Once the applicant has had condition 8534 waived and validly applied for a subclass 457 visa they are no longer bound by regulation 2.07AH. Work rights for dependants of Masters and Doctorate students Initial student visas are granted subject to a condition precluding the holder from working while in Australia. Once a student has commenced their course of study they, and their dependants, may be granted permission to work. An exception applied to applicants for a student visa as a dependant of a Masters or Doctorate student. Such applicants were able to obtain permission to work immediately if they had previously been a student and held limited work rights. From 1 March 2003, these provisions have been amended so that dependants of Masters and Doctorate students, like other student dependants, may only be granted permission to work once the student has commenced their course. Transitional arrangements: The new waiver provision for condition 8534 will be available to student visa holders from 1 March 2003 and the changes to work rights will apply to all applications lodged on or after 1 March 2003. Forms: Nil. Instructions: PAM 3 guidelines have been amended. Effect on delegations: Nil. Effect on systems: Nil.
