Question for you : What was your total cost (from your pocket) for coming to US, including EVERYTHING (Exam fee/doc fee/whatever). Wanted to know howmuch agency spend for you How long you are working for this agency in US What proof do u have to clar...

My feeling is that, nothing would happen if you just walk out of the contract. Because, Your agency forced to sign the contract You signed the contract when u were in a foriegn country (India, in this case). I am not sure whether U.S courts will upho...

I do not have any experience with any agency, but I would highly recommed Kaplan, since I know it WORKS!! If you are skeptical about the agency, you may just go to kaplan.com, pay the money and take their online streaming video classes. Its worthful....

I dont think there is any reason to worry about the Listening part of it. In fact, that is one of the section where most people score around '8' and would compensate for the '5' they score in Reading. AFAIK, Reading is the most tricky one. Not becaus...

first of all, there is nothing to be panic about this since the information below does not have any direct/ immediate effect on rn-immigration. but it has some indirect/later effect on us as well. as many of us know, there was an effort in the u.s...

Yes, its the one year Anniversary of the "doom day" experienced by PIC (Phili,India/China) nurses. Exactly one year before on this date (Dec 9 2004), USCIS published its Jan 2005 VS (VisaBulletin) announcing the "Worst news for RNs from PIC Countries...

superb man! Congrats! Wish all the very best to Mr. Bill Gates Jr. :)

since i've received many emails from members about this topic, here is the latest on this... ncsbn was scheduled to take their decision by mid-october but for some reason, its been postponed to mid-december. stay tuned.

there were so many anxious questions here about the avaialability of 50,000 new visas alloted for schedule a occupation (nurse/pts).. here is the good news from one of the trusted immigration law firms here in us. their take is, it will be avaialble ...

Congratulations!! Good that you are flying only on Wednesday, by that time the after effects of Wilma would be gone, hopefully.

This indeed is great news, but this 90K visas are not 'reserved' for Schedule A. It will be distributed among all EB categories. My understanding is that Schedule A will get a share from this 90K quota as well, because the 50K 'special' for ScheduleA...

DOL (Department of Labor) in United States (US) is planning to officially start the PERM process on next monday (Mar 28). While it is long a waited 'phenomenal' thing for some Employment Base- Third (EB3) categories, Nurses may not have the same view...

It depends on what you meant by 'affected'. PERM has not affected ScheduleA category in terms of any Cut-off date (PD) for Processing. ScheduleA is 'Current' and application will be processed normally. IOW, No retrogression for ScheduleA PERM has som...

If the nurse has a valid visa (on which nurse is allowed to work in USA), then there is no point in applying for a VisaScreen. Please note that there are many visas on which the visa holder is not allowed to work. There are some talks about making t...

we should consider ourself fortunate to have a special visa category available for nurses (schedulea / ex). if not, meaning, if we were the previous eb3 general category, we would have to wait 5-7 years for a visa number. priority date cut-off is est...

CGFNS used to sent VisaScreen certificate (3 years before ?) without the candidate picture embedded on it. USCIS used to accept those VS then. It seems there was some attempt to fraud and henceforth CGFNS have changed the format and now all VS are co...

once again, it is clarified, as feared before, that perm is a major hurdle in the immigration journey for rns. till now, we were aware that the delay perm could make for rns was only on pwd from swa and 10 day posting rule. but it seems, thats just t...

Well written, Dale.

since retrogression is offically lifted and immigration related things are back to normal, "the thread", "best news for rns from " on international nursing is now closed. the thread that i have opened on may 11 2005 within minutes after president bu...
