  1. Nurse w/ PD May07 & a Med Intern hubby

    lawrence01 replied to milaeslehc's topic in International Nursing

    Residency training is full-time. Most programs nowadays even have Duty, Post-Duty, Duty rotations because of lack of MDs. There is minimal room for leave of absences. One person out for a couple of...

  2. NVC -CP- GC Tracker

    lawrence01 replied to dhel28's topic in Immigration Advice

    Just read an unconfirmed report that someone with a Nov 2005 PD (PH) had her case transfered from NVC to the respective consulate. If this is accurate, we can expect at least a Dec. 2005 cut-off...

  3. Texas Service Center Tracker for I-140

    lawrence01 replied to lawrence01's topic in Immigration Advice

    Never heard of it either. Do you have a copy of the RFE or your agency just said so. If this was really asked, then this is something

  4. Nurse w/ PD May07 & a Med Intern hubby

    lawrence01 replied to milaeslehc's topic in International Nursing

    Actually any Medical Residency training done in Phils. (I do not know about the other countries) is not credited to the US, not even partial. It has to be entirely re-done. Plus, passing of the...

  5. H-1C newbie

    lawrence01 replied to jpaulino's topic in Immigration Advice

    You said your visa is going to expire in July. That is why I was always mentioning July. If your permission to stay in US expires and you cannot find another valid visa to be in then you must leave...

  6. NVC -CP- GC Tracker

    lawrence01 replied to dhel28's topic in Immigration Advice

    Just to give clarifications. Actually the cut-off dates on the VB are those who will be allowed to get immigrant visas and it is actually the embassies or consulates that distributes the immigrant...

  7. NVC -CP- GC Tracker

    lawrence01 replied to dhel28's topic in Immigration Advice

    Wow, congrats. Your case will definitely close out.

  8. H-1C newbie

    lawrence01 replied to jpaulino's topic in Immigration Advice

    With the new information you just gave it seems that your options are pretty limited now. Your options are really to wait the reply from Texas. Since they might have a new recruiter for the Chicago...

  9. nclex passer = LPN

    lawrence01 replied to borik1234's topic in International Nursing

    For everyone's protection, please do not post names publicly. You can share such information via private messaging. Also, naming names privately is only one way and not all people believe something....

  10. States that do not require CGFNS review or visascreen?

    lawrence01 replied to attorneyalex's topic in International Nursing

    There are still a few States that does their own evaluation. You should research what these States are. However, it is by no means of any guarantee that the result will be diff. from CGFNS'...

  11. nclex passer = LPN

    lawrence01 replied to borik1234's topic in International Nursing

    That is ridiculous. One cannot work legally w/o the proper license or permission to do so. Best bet is they will prob. let their recruits do something else other than being an LPN. The set-up may...

  12. H-1C newbie

    lawrence01 replied to jpaulino's topic in Immigration Advice

    The H1C working visa is totally different from going through the GC process (I-140 and I485). Right now there is retrogression, and only the I-140 can be technically be filed and most employers will...

  13. NVC -CP- GC Tracker

    lawrence01 replied to dhel28's topic in Immigration Advice

    Yes. All those under process right now should pray that you close out your case before it moves backward again. If the dates moves backward again and your case isn't finish then everything will put...

  14. NVC -CP- GC Tracker

    lawrence01 replied to dhel28's topic in Immigration Advice

    Moving forward or do you really mean moving back again? You should be more concern if the dates moves backward again before you go through the interview date and get your immigrant visa because if it...

  15. NVC -CP- GC Tracker

    lawrence01 replied to dhel28's topic in Immigration Advice

    If NVC will be able to finish processing those with Dec. 2005 PDs as some are reporting that they are then the US State Dept. can move the cut-off dates to at least Jan.

  16. Texas Service Center Tracker for I-140

    lawrence01 replied to lawrence01's topic in Immigration Advice

    Texas SC just updated their processing dates. It is Aug. 15 2007 for I-140s but like Suzanne said it not carved in stone. The usual processing time for TSC is 6-8 mos. *See :...

  17. Interesting Prediction on the VB

    lawrence01 replied to john83's topic in International Nursing

    Also adding as an FYI. Word is that the USCIS Staff that do I-485 adjudications are being moved to help adjudicate the naturalization cases. This is of course related to the up-coming elections....

  18. Interesting Prediction on the VB

    lawrence01 replied to john83's topic in International Nursing

    No one knows. Even the US State Dept. do not know. That is why they set the cut-off dates every month. The one in charge of setting the cut-off dates do not even know for sure until 1 week or so...

  19. Interesting Prediction on the VB

    lawrence01 replied to john83's topic in International Nursing

    There have been quite a few predictions and educated guesses thus far. Even to the extent that EB3 ROW could possibly go current later on and then quickly retrogress again. The general consensus,...

  20. June06 License Waiver

    lawrence01 replied to dudzy's topic in International Nursing

    I think it was clear that when one will be waiving the license that one will have to do the whole exam. Please update us on this thread on their response. Also, some may not be considering is the...

  21. Dual-Citizenship and issue of dual taxation

    lawrence01 posted a topic in International Nursing

    Just for informational purposes for others who wants more info regarding Dual-Citizenship I am posting a link to the FAQs here. Retaining/re-acquiring Filipino Citizenship is up to the individual....

  22. Retrogression in nursing

    lawrence01 replied to deepaghale's topic in International Nursing

    Just try and ask for OPT on your own State first but widen your scope to include all others. It would not be wise to make a sweeping statement as things are quite dynamic and the hospitals that...

  23. Contract

    lawrence01 replied to David usa's topic in International Nursing

    I have merged your latest thread on your last one because they are similar. Please keep things under one thread if you already have an active one. Also, we cannot answer more details other than what...

  24. I thought there's a shortage of nurses in the Philippines??

    lawrence01 replied to vanillasurprise's topic in Philippines

    These are valid questions for the Labor Sec. They seem to be pre-occupied with money-making ventures such as bonds for OFW, etc... rather than doing their real job here. Good thing the last DOLE...

  25. Another Illegal Recruitment Case Filed...Could Affect Filipino RNs

    lawrence01 replied to pinoy_guy's topic in International Nursing

    There is more to the story for sure. The most notable piece of information is what visa are the teachers on to be able to go to the US as you've mentioned. If the story is accurate regarding them...
