Actually an RN with a US Masters degree may qualify for an EB2 category immigration sponsorship which is current (no waiting period). While on an F1 study visa you can also work part time... which will provide you with the additional US experience on...

I recommend finding an alternate H1B sponsor or go for a F1 and get your masters degree.

Hey Folks, I heard there were 7 new nurses who arrived last Monday thru CHC and are being deployed here in Florida. Congratulations!

i see. whatever it is i hope its not affecting people's chances to be deployed... there is still one nurse in MD waiting to be deployed. they dont seem to have a problem deploying PTs though.

really? what grounds would CHC have to file a case against Focus? what i heard was since there was a lot of Focus candidates that got stuck in the philippines without jobs (because CHC told people to quit their jobs already) this forced Focus to file...

@WESTMACK,RN - i think your article pertains to those who are already in the US when the visa expires... Anybody heard about the lawsuit Focus filed against CHC?

Shasha14, you go at your own risk of being deported and banned! I just want to make sure you understand the worst possible outcome! The agency that you talk about cannot legally transfer your H1B because one of the requirements are payslips from the ...

Please send me an email.

First of all dont give up. In my opinion CHC has breeched all their contracts for a number of reasons. So find other agencies or lawyers or hospitals willing to sponsor your H1B visa. You can actually use your visa to come over here but you might f...

not in the near future

I dont think CHC/Paragon will be submitting new applications for H1B nurses anymore. There's still one RN in MD waiting for deployment! I suggest you go through some other agency or better yet contact hospitals directly. Always be emotionally and fi...

Hello. Again, its been busy but I am happy to report that the 4 nurses have started work thru MedPro and are all working in Palmetto General Hospital at the ICU department. All 4 have their own apartments now and are starting their 2-week preceptors...

Sorry for not replying sooner. It's been busy... 4 out of the 5 nurses has been passed on to another agency (medpro) but still waiting for a final deployment contract in Florida... (apparently this is a common route used by CHC) I do not know other p...

Hi to all, There is a problem with finding deployment for the 5. As of this time I recommend for those who still have options to go and explore those options.

Hi to those watching this thread, sorry for not posting anything recently... Sad to say but the first batch of H1B 2010 nurses (should have been Oct 2009) are still waiting to be deployed. There are 5 of them and they have been here in MD since mid...

My wife and I just recently landed in Maryland on an H1B and H4 respectively though Cambridge. For those have been approved and still waiting deployment, I suggest to just stick it out. I know there are still a lot of you waiting in the Philippines....

Does anybody have any insight why the PD for EB3 for the Philippines has not moved since the start of the FY? Its stuck at 6-1-2002 still...

Hi Geordix, my wife is in the same boat as you. she's waiting for her ticket from CHC. Her H1B got approved April 24. She already has her visa as well. Do you have your visa? did you go thru Abba? Last update we got from Teresa and Mike is that they ...
