Does visa screen need to be done for the E3 visa?

Even as a Australia Nurse, it's not that easy to get E3visa in USA

I think that ST Vincent Hospital is the best in Sydney.You can join the hospital casual pool, so you can actually get more shifts,but i am not sure if there is ICU unit in that hospital, you can check up with them

I did my mental health theory and clinic placement in university of Sydney,it's the best university in sydney, people are very nice and helpful.

hi tinasmall , we are in the same boat and i came from china too, i am going to us in two mouths maybe we can discuss some questions via the email or msn sometimes, look forward to your reply

yes,you have to be a citizen to get an Australia passport

you need to have Australia passport to apply for the E3 working visa

Thanks for your reply! I've been working in dialysis area for 11years, does that make me a "specialist"? I am taking my NCLEX about August,when should i start to apply for the visascreen?

For ghillbert Hi ghillbert,saw all the messages you posted here, they are all very helpful for me,cuz i am going to go through the E3 visa to US as you did before,i got couple of questions wish you can help me: I have BN and about 11years experience in nursing,can that make me apply for the E3 if i could find employer in US? Have you had visascreen done?how long does it take? thanks!

Anyone can help me out? give me some advices? I am going to take Nclex in the next 2month in CA, i know that CA won't issue me a licence until i get a SSN, :my husband is a US green card holder at the moment and he will be getting us citizenship about MAY2010,and then he will be able to sponsor me greencard,hopefully i can get it in about 6months periodafter that. my options are :1:get the greencard and SSN ,then do endorsement to NY(as my husband works in NY now) do i have to do the CVS (CGFNS) with endorsement in NY still?( as i studied nursing out of US) Option 2:apply for licence by exam in NY BON, but use the NCLEX pass letter from CA(as i have already been through the application process for 2years in CA) and then get the licence in NY and apply for E3 visa(AS i am an Australia citizenship) i don't know which way is best for me? which way is the quickest? anyone has any experiences or ideas? would be appreciate for your help!

Thanks for your imfo,very helpful!

i called the ca bon today, they said that i would't be able to get my licence without ssn,(even use my us tax file number), so frustrating !!!with the endorsment in ny, do i need to have my nursing school forward all my transcript to ny bon again? appreciate the reply from zonnenschijn and silverdragon102 have a nice weekend everyone!

I am so glad to find this website today,hopefully somebody can help me out !!! I am an Australia citizen and working in oz as a RN,I am going to take NCLEX exam in CA in next two months,but the problem is that i don't have SSN to get the licence after that,on the other hand i am also going to work in NY, cuz my husband works there, so question 1:should i be able to find a employer in NY to apply for the E3 visa with the NCLEX pass letter(without SSN) first so that i can apply for E3 first to get the ssn and then get the hard licence in CA? question 2:should i be able to transfer my nclex pass score to NY ?how long does it take? would be appreciate if anybody can answer my questions !thanks
