    My experience w CGFNS is not to wait. You can CGFNS "Contact us" & inquire the reasoning behind such unacceptance. It will take some time for response but at least you did.

  14. Looking at other options this year, I wanted to endorse my Maine RN license to California. Working in the US for 1 year now proved promising. Being said that, the process will probably painstaking/hard since I am internationally educated (in Canada) ...

    Getting sponsored by my job

    PH. But it looks like regardless of chargeability, EB3 visa is currently on retrogression/backlog. However, my i131 (Travel) & i765 (Employment Authorization) has been approved so I could exit the US.

    Due to the complexity of my case & GC application, I ended up with employment sponsorship. My employer agreed to sponsor after 1yr of employment. Mine is Adjustment of Status (AOS) rather than consular processing since I'm already in the US.
