I'm not sure about your immigration situation, but if need TN visa sponsorship they may decided not deal with it in the present economy.

First of all, just based on the bitter, defensive style of your post I doubt that you are a Laboure student. So number one problem at that school is lack of honesty. And your post is a good example of it. There were 39 posts to this thread since January 2006 and majority of them are negative. So you presumed that all those people are lazy losers. Did I get you right? Buy the way, I'm not. I never failed any courses at that school and my GPA was decent. For 2.5 years a dedicated myself to studying and succeeded. Some instructors are great and some are awful, just like anywhere else. But taking into considerations all the other issues and tuition cost (23K per year), this school would not be my first, second, or third choice nowadays. Just my .

1. Do your own research on the web. 2. Pass IELTS. 3. Apply for a license. 4. Obtain ANMC certificate (I recommend modified assessment after obtaining a license). 5. Apply for immigration.

I don't understand what you are talking about. She came to the U.S. when she was a 6th grader. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/security/police-cert/intro.asp

Experience is as important for immigration purposes as you may think. It's nice if you have it, but the only absolute requirement is the education. Look how many Filipinos on this forum managed to migrate without even a day of experience under the belt.

Do you realize that there are people who live here absolutely legally for years, but don't have a SSN? So, according to you, they won't be able a get a police clearance certificate? I don't think so. In fact, here is the reference to the Office of the Attorney General's website and there is nothing about providing a SSN there. http://ag.ca.gov/fingerprints/visaimmigration.php There is a field for a SSN in the application, but it does not says it's mandatory. The same is for the DL. Simply because people may not have them. Period. In fact, the only mandatory fields are listed in the Instructions for Visa/Immigration Request Form and they are: Type of Application, Reason for Application, Name of Applicant & Personal Descriptors - "Name, date of birth, and sex are mandatory fields and must be provided. All others are optional" Applicant Address, Daytime Telephone Number. http://ag.ca.gov/fingerprints/forms/fingerprinting_visa_immigration_info.pdf

You have to look at the report to see how many people have a priority date earlier that yours. That report does not provide information about how many people waiting outside the U.S, only for those who are in the U.S. already. Only about 2800 visas are issued per country per year in each category.

I don't believe that you need a SSN for police(FBI) name/fingerprint check. Please provide a link to any document to support your statement.

She was a child when she left Korea, so the police certificate from there won't be required.

And posted it here http://www.uscis.gov/USCIS/New%20Structure/3rd%20Level%20(Left%20Nav%20Children)/Green%20Card%20-%203rd%20Level/Pending%20Form%20I485%20Reports.pdf Also, they specified that there are about 234,000 application waiting for visa numbers in employment-based category. So the number of 800,000 posted by Susan and others is not true. http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=5e170e6bcb7e3210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD&vgnextchannel=ae853ad15c673210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD

They removed the document from it's original location.

USCIS published statistics on pending I-485 http://www.uscis.gov/USCIS/New%20Structure/2nd%20Level%20(Left%20Nav%20Parents)/Green%20Card%20-%202nd%20Level/Pending%20Form%20I-485%20Reports.pdf What does it mean for those who filed for GC during July 2007 fiasco? Waiting time for Philippines - 5 years India - 25 years Mexico - 3 years China - 2.5 years Rest of the world - 2 years

You are on the right track. Just before graduation your school will be asking in which state you plan to get your license. Inform them it will be Oregon (or any other state of your choice), then obtain an authorization to sit for NCLEX from that state. Pass NCLEX, get a license, apply for BSN program. When you graduate either some new law here in the US will pass and you will be able to stay, or you will be able to emigrate to Canada or Australia with your BSN.

She will be able to get a certificate. Why you've decided she won't? Thousands of people who overstayed their visa in the US were able to emigrate to Canada successfully. FBI and police don't care if you were legal or not. They just match a name and fingerprints against their databases and if there is no record, that what all they print "No record".

It's up to you. How are you going to emigrate to Canada or New Zealand, have you looked at the criteria? Will you get enough points? Without BSN you won't be able to obtain a license there. No license means to emigration. Get your BSN here. By the time you finish school the Dream Act may pass and you wont need to go anywhere.
