    Here's the eagerly awaited October 2008 VB.

  3. September VB

    rkm posted a topic in International Nursing

    The September VB presents a very bleak outlook for Philippine nurses, more so with the coming October VB that predicts possible early exhaustion of visas due to heavy demand. This does not look good...

  4. Discussion- Urge Congress to Support HR 5924: Legislation to Address Nursing Shortage

    rkm replied to lawrence01's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This bill still has a very long way to go. Anything can still happen, so it's not wise to expect too much. The backlog should be cleared first and all those standing in line have to wait their turn,...

  7. Visa Bulletin March 2008

    rkm replied to letina's topic in International Nursing

    This is no reason for premature rejoicing. As the VB says, the movement will slow down or stop once the thousands of AOS applications pour in to claim those visas. The Retrogression is far from

  8. 80,000 to 100,000 to take June 08 NLE

    rkm posted a topic in International Nursing

    PRC has announced that 80,000 to 100,000 graduates will take the June 08 NLE. All are dreaming of going to the USA, to join the hundreds of thousands already stuck in the retrogression pipeline. No...

  9. 80,000 to 100,000 to take June 08 NLE

    rkm replied to rkm's topic in International Nursing

    You're all correct. This craze has really gotten out of hand. It is now a virtual rolling snowball, gathering momentum as parents with only the best interest for their children in mind push them into...

  10. Going Saudi first

    rkm replied to Barbie38's topic in Immigration Advice

    This is an excellent job opportunity for all PI nurses, now that the US market and demand for nurses has ended, probably for good. So, all Pinoy nurses should troop to KSA asap.

  11. retrogression true or fallacy?

    rkm replied to sweetypie's topic in International Nursing

    Nobody is listening. The PI nursing students just keep piling up, most of them pushed by their parents and peers. The oversupply is already here, luckily, the call center industry can absorb most if...

  12. End of Nursing migration?

    rkm posted a topic in International Nursing

    With no end in sight, and a retrogression that stands at five years for nurses, this might be the end of nursing migration to the US for RNs from the Philippines. No bills are in sight, and hundreds...

  13. End of Nursing migration?

    rkm replied to rkm's topic in International Nursing

    The January 2008 VB will most likely show more evidence that the Retrogression really marks the halt of nursing migration. And more nurses, in the thousands are graduating from th PI and all expect to...

  14. retrogression true or fallacy?

    rkm replied to sweetypie's topic in International Nursing

    Retrogression for nurses is very real. Nobody from the PI is going anywhere for a very long time. Retro will be here for many. many years.. No doubt about

  15. Immigration Surge in US "2.5 millions apps in July/Aug alone"

    rkm replied to Hoss's topic in International Nursing

    That means no nurse from the PI is leaving for the USA anytime soon, like the next five years. And by that time, the US would have enough nurses it

  16. End of Nursing migration?

    rkm replied to rkm's topic in International Nursing

    With more than 300,000 pending applications for AOS under EB3, the chances for a PI RN to leave the PI as an immigrant is zero for the next five years, or more if no Schedule A for nurses is created...

  17. Australia Or Usa?

    rkm replied to wxyz's topic in International Nursing

    Maybe Australia is the better option, as there is no end in sight for the

  18. Discouraged.........

    rkm replied to precious33's topic in International Nursing

    The average nurse carries a spouse and maybe 2-3 children, it's no wonder that the visas are used up so rapidly. The techworker H1B backlogs are the main thing that pushes nurses to an infinite visa...

  19. End of Nursing migration?

    rkm replied to rkm's topic in International Nursing

    It is true that most if not all of the current crop of PI nursing students and their parents have the idea that their children will surely go to the USA. That is not the situation now. The US is now...

  20. Discouraged.........

    rkm replied to precious33's topic in International Nursing

    The truth can be awfully hard, when your dreams are dashed. These are events over which no one in the PI has any control over. Best just accept that the US is now closed to PI nurses, probably for...

  21. End of Nursing migration?

    rkm replied to rkm's topic in International Nursing

    With this definite end in migration to the US for PI RNs, Canada, New Zealand, Australia and the Middle East are alternative work areas. Quite a lot of new graduates are floating around the joke (is...

  22. Dec 2007 VB

    rkm replied to fruity's topic in International Nursing

    Looks like nobody is going ANYWHERE in 2007, nor in 2008 for that matter. The visa availability will be very slow, then suddenly becomes current near the end of the fiscal year. The H1b and those...

  23. Retrogression Is Not Over

    rkm replied to suzanne4's topic in International Nursing

    The December VB will probably not show much movement in the EB3

  24. Retrogression Is Not Over

    rkm replied to suzanne4's topic in International Nursing

    There's no end in sight for the Retrogression. And most likely none from the coming VBs what with all the H1B applicants competing for the 10,000 annual allocation for the PI. Not much to hope there...

  25. NVC -CP- GC Tracker

    rkm replied to dhel28's topic in Immigration Advice

    Nothing much to look forward to there either. Previous VBs have shown movements mostly when the visas are about to be used up near the end of the fiscal year. And, most unfortunate of all, the H1B...
