im here in nevada.. passed all the exams required.. including the nclex.. hopefully i could start working on july.. i know you are accomplishing the requirements now.. if i were you, better enjoy the philippines now, its too much different here.. im very homesicked.. cant wait to go back on my first vacation.. :)

yup suzanne.. cant agree more:chuckle ..

thanks phwl... ill do that just in case.:)

thanks guys.. i really do agree that there are many "artificial barriers".. and i think the US government is managing it very well.. i think i just got lucky and i maximized my opportunity and resources very well.. getting a tourist visa in the philippines is next to impossible especially if you are a nurse.. i got my visa because my parents and siblings have been travelling the US and even europe for quite some time already.. and most of my aunts and uncles migrated here around 25 years ago.. i have aunts and cousins who are RNs here.. i hate to be out of the topic.. maybe it seems too hard to get here, pass a number of difficult exams, squeezing every peso my family can give to support me(earning peso,spending dollar:chuckle ), start up with nothing.. but so far, the hardest part for me is trying to live my life away from my family, friends, and the comfort of my own country. cest la vie. :)

i almost forgot, thanks also ione for the site! :)

I submitted the application last april 24, and it was confirmed through a letter. Does the 30-90 days waiting period starts after the confirmation date or after the fingerprinting? too bad i didnt make it to the 30 days waiting date. by the way, i took the nclex here in nevada and also got hired here. i have all the exams (cgfns, toefl, twe, ielts, nclex) passed and submitted copies together with the aplication. i am confident that i met all the requirements. the hospital's nurse recruiter have been calling me asking me when i could start. is it realistic to say late june or early july? thanks meladee and suzanna! :)

thanks suzanne. i checked the site and my application for employment permit was received after april 26. i guess i just have to wait and see. see you around. thanks again. :)

thanks suzanne! i applied for the I 765 together with the I 140 complete with all the requirements including the visascreen and hospital employment letter last april 24. received a confirmation about two weeks after. I 765 ! thats what im talking about!!:chuckle it is stated in uscis.gov that it takes 60-90 days only.. any experience how long it takes after fingerprinting? with due respect, the few months that you are referring to might be the greencard. thanks.:)

Hello everyone! I have a question to all those who experienced or know something about the length of waiting time for greencard processing. Work permit can now be issued to those applicants with pending greencards so they can work while waiting for their greencard. I just did the fingerprinting yesterday and my question is--- how long would it take for me to receive the work permit after the fingerprinting?..

good thing it wasnt asked on my march exam

hi hael.. im also a filipino RN. i also agree that suzanne is just trying to answer your questions. it may not be what you want to hear but at least she tried. :) anyway im very glad when i discovered this site for nurses, its very informative. ive read that you mentioned about this yahoo group. do you mind sharing the site? does anyone know other interactive sites for nurses? thanks:) :) :)

i got lost again.. im a new user here.. hi guys.. my post was originallay intended for Nopain... but if anyone is willing to answer my inquiries, il appreciate it very much if you can PM me.. thanks a bunch everyone..

hi im new here and ive read your post.. i was very inspired with how you help our fellow RNs especially those who still have many questions needed to be answered.. do you mind if i solicit for advise?.. im planning to also take up CRNA next year.. im in las vegas right now, and i need to move to southern cali because the nearest university that offers CRNA here is USC.. i took my undergrad in the philippines, and im wondering if il get accepted in USC.. what books did you use for the GRE preparation?.. can you give me some advise?.. are you working full time now while taking masters in nurse anesthesia? thanks very much.. i salute you, good luck to your studies..
