Why don't they create another visa category for dependents.

I've beeen wondering. Is there any chance that schedule A will be re-introduced this year? This really disturbing. It's hard to be in limbo as to when one would get his green card. It's scary to consider the possiblity of completing a contract and w...

One doesn't need to tale toefl if he or she studied nursing in the states. Again be very careful with ur accusations.

Did you say five years? Oh God have mercy. Does the EB-2 category move any faster?

Mine was 3 years and it sucks. I guess I was very desperate. Suzzanw what is the average pay for a nurse with at least a year experience working in a specialty area like an ICU with a patient load of 3 to 1? Most of these patients are vented. I am in...

What happens when a nurse completes his/her contract and have still not recieved the green card. Can she move on to another facility? Is the hospital obligated to honor their part of the contract by not withdrawing the application?

To add my two cents, I think five years is way too much. I signed a three-year contract and I sometimes regret it. Most places are two years.

Thanks Sue. I'll follow up and let you know what she says.

I checked the USCIS processing times for Texas Service Center today and the current date for schedule A nurses is October 14th 2006. My documents were submitted on September 13th, 2006, and I already have my advance parole and finger prints done. I ...

I am ata loss as to what I-140 is and what I 485 is. Now I understand they are different documents. I have not recieved any approval notice. All I have so far is a notice for biometric, which i already did, and the parole. I thought since I was sche...

Sorry Sue, I didn't see your last post before posting my last response. I mentioned where hail from because I thought there was a quota applied to some countries. Pardon me, I am not very conversant with the recent immigration changes. Thanks.

I appreciate what all of you do here. Yes, a petition for an EAD was included in the initial application but I never got it. My lawyer said I could use my OPT until it's about to expire. I have already sent in another application for EAD renewal. Tha...

it required an urgent answer because i wasn't sure of what was going on and as such i needed immediate clarification. If I was a know-all i wouldn't be here. As I mentioned earlier, all that I havr fone so far is biometrics and aldo recieved parole, ...

How many years have you been a nurse? Getting that much here is rare. Very rare and that's one very unfair thing about nursing. Same work load, same units, same or even higher degrees but differential is sometimes 100%.

You are pathetic. At this age and level of education, one would think you r intelligent enough not to make such a stereotypic statement. You should be ashamed. Black is not a synonym for crime.

They say the cost of living is lower. The truth is that it's really not, unless one was living around time square in ny where accomodation is very high. THe pay down here is horrible and working condiitons too. Imagine sometimes taking 3 patients at...

Is anybody in here who applied in spetember and has already recieved his/her green card?

I came here on F-1 , graduated and working now. My employer petitioned for me in August but I'm yet to recieved my green card. So far, I have recieved i-131 approval, and my work permit should be on the way. I want to take some classes next spring an...

Yes, I'm using my OPT now. Some attorneys are just liars!! I submitted all my documents in August, then, I called and followed-up on them, I asked if its been submitted to the USCIS and she said yes. Now, I called back in early September to inquire i...

I am in the same boat, I'm fresh out of school and just started working in a neuro- ICU. Yesterday was my 6th day caring for one pt; it's been tough. My preceptor is a young nurse who has been in the system for one year and she makes me feel very s...

Go to your state nursing board's website, select licensure verification and log- in as an applicant (this may require membership registration). It might ask for your SSN and other personal info. After entering those info it will take u to a page wher...

Oh my gosh!!! I took mine today. I went in looking to answer only 75 questions. With almost 2 hrs gone I hit the 75th question but that thing kept going. I started panicking, i knew i was gonna get all the 265 questions and didn't have enough time; i...

I am doing my capstone rotation on a transplant ICU. At the end of this rotation, I should have completed a service project that will be of benefit to the nursing staff or clients/families. This could be in the form of informational brochures, poster...

Thanx a bunch

That's a good one. Thanks for your reply.
