Dear juan de la cruz Thank you for your detailed reply... I have 5 years of experience, 2 years in teaching and 3 years in bed side.Your advices are a great help in planning my further studies in US. I really wish i could practice nursing than sitting at home whole day Thanks again

one of my friends with msn in nursing education could find a h1b sponsor in Indiana...

Thank you for all your input juan de la cruz..My husband has applied for Internal Medicine Residency in US this year. His top choices are programs in Arkansas, Michigan and Philadelphia. so we will be most probably in one of these states. we thought of showing my husband`s salary documents and our bank account statements as proof of fund. How much will be required to show in the initial year?As u said lack of contacts will be problem for me to find a job. i was thinking of working in some place in OPT will help me find an employer.As u suggested its all going to be a total waste of money and effort if i fail to find an employer. Some of my friends have done masters in nursing education. will that be a good option for me? i dont know what i can do for so many years till my husband finishes residency and fellowship...thank u again

Hi.. What are your thoughts on doing family nurse practitioner program after switching from h4 to f1. wil that help to find a h1b sponsor?

Thank you..

Hi Ritti and Neepi which states are you in? It wil be very difficult to find a H1B sponsor in the current situation. Only remaining option is h4 to f1 and then applying for h1b after working in OPT.

Hi all I am a RN from India.i will be leaving to US in June on H4 visa.I passed NCLEX-RN in oct 2006 and also have a approved I140 with PD march 2007. As its going to be a long wait for my pd to become current at this rate, i thought of doing NP in any of the universities in US and then try for a H1B or port to EB2 and try. I have an active license with New Mexico board of nursing, I read in one of the forums that its not possible to transfer the license to other states without SSN. Is this information right? What can i do to get into NP program.I thought of doing Family nurse practitioner program. is it possible to find H1b sponsor after doing NP ? or hypothetically if my PD is current after i finish NP, Is it possible to file in EB2 category.As i dint have any US plans until 3 months ago i am not aware of current nursing situation in US. kindly advice me on how to go ahead with my career. Thanks in advance Anna

I passed NCLEX RN in oct 2006 and is licensed with new mexico board of nursing. Kindly let me know if u could join for NP.Thank u in advance Anna

Hi Bincy Joshua I think doing a MSN in nurse practitioner wil help you find a H1 sponsor...
