  1. CA-NCLEX expires this December!

    lawrence01 replied to BagwisRN's topic in Immigration Advice

    Did you explain the reason why you can't possibly give them the SSN? Some people reported they were able to get one and there was even one that was able to get one very recently and posted it here....

  2. H2B Visa Cap Reached for 2008

    lawrence01 replied to lawrence01's topic in International Nursing

    Posted this by the way because there are certain people or agencies that has been saying that this visa can be used by RNs and PNs. I made a separate thread on what the H2B is for and is not...

  3. Nclex - Phil.

    lawrence01 replied to azilrn07's topic in International Nursing

    Moving this thread to the Int'l forum, where it is more appropriate.

  4. Nclex - Phil.

    lawrence01 replied to azilrn07's topic in International Nursing

    Welcome to allnurses.com. :balloons: Well, first of all you do not need to be a CGFNS passer to be eligible to take NCLEX. Never has, ever. It's a misconception. It is the individual State BON or...

  5. transfer of NCLEXresult

    lawrence01 replied to Barbie38's topic in International Nursing

    If you are going to call them again, try and ask for the 1 year extension that some are reporting about as well. Wouldn't hurt and you can do both (1 year extension plus sending the test result to...

  6. As a Phil graduate, were you accepted to masters programs in US?

    lawrence01 replied to urnurse072b's topic in International Nursing

    Greatly consider the total cost (tuition plus misc. expenses) and for what I Know if one is not a Green Card holder or a US Citizen, one cannot avail of Student Loans. Someone can correct me on this....

  7. plan to retake nclex for the 3rd time

    lawrence01 replied to mayflower2000's topic in International Nursing

    Also want to add in that, there is no hurry now. You already took NCLEX twice and everyone ahead of you are in retrogression, so my suggestion is that you pick now the State where you want to work...

  8. H2B Visa FAQ

    lawrence01 posted a topic in International Nursing

    Posting this as there are some reports already of this visa being used by agencies for RNs and PNs. An RN and a PN are permanent jobs by nature and will be hard to establish that it may be seasonal...

  9. US citizen recieved nursing degree outside US

    lawrence01 replied to mabeinner's topic in International Nursing

    Yes, all Boards will require an official English translation of your transcripts because they need to assess it. One thing going for you is that CA Board of Registered Nursing does their own...

  10. Approved I-140

    lawrence01 replied to aeonflux14's topic in International Nursing

    Posting this to not give false hope but to just say that there is such a move that is being planned this qtr. of the year and is understood that it needs to be done before the elections. And if I...

  11. Approved I-140

    lawrence01 replied to aeonflux14's topic in International Nursing

    Directly and the strictest sense, no. Retrogression has been in place since Nov. 2006 even before any major political and geo-political issues peaked. Retrogression was simply a result of the...

  12. US citizen recieved nursing degree outside US

    lawrence01 replied to mabeinner's topic in International Nursing

    Yes, that's just it. The req'ts for being able to be eligible to take it would have to be the same as any other foreign-educated nurse, though as you are still considered foreign-educated. Each...

  13. Need information concerning US and retrogression

    lawrence01 replied to dianajannifer12's topic in International Nursing

    Yes, we are with you there. USCIS/DOS made a mistake and they paid dearly for it. It is not so much as to why they allowed AOS to continue during those months but why those from outside the US who...

  14. Need information concerning US and retrogression

    lawrence01 replied to dianajannifer12's topic in International Nursing

    I am saying this with out most respect and am not defending letina. The problem was that there was suppose to be no filing of AOS all together from all industries as there were no visas available to...

  15. Need information concerning US and retrogression

    lawrence01 replied to dianajannifer12's topic in International Nursing

    Yes, you are correct. The waiver program for all countries eligible for it are only good for 3 mos. and they cannot adjust status since there are no visas involved. I also agree on the comment...

  16. CA NCLEX without SSN, can we really ask for an extension to the BON?

    lawrence01 replied to promise2's topic in Immigration Advice

    If I may cut in a bit. First of all, do not blame anything yet on your agency. Doing nothing that is not suppose to be done yet is not a short coming on their part. You still have lots of time...

  17. What should i do?

    lawrence01 replied to tutugirlBSN's topic in International Nursing

    For everyone else reading: To be honest, it would have been wiser to have not filed the I-140 alone. At least in my opinion. It is of no use alone if it was filed for AOS purposes and will only get...

  18. What should i do?

    lawrence01 replied to tutugirlBSN's topic in International Nursing

    Since only the I-140 was filed, I am presuming that it was only filed after July 31 because that was the deadline where an I-485 (AOS) can be concurrently filed with it. As for your question, I...

  19. 6-Month Community Service Requirement

    lawrence01 replied to PhilG's topic in International Nursing

    - Unfortunately, this is what exactly is happening and why they even have the guts to even ask for "training fees" when it should be free. There is absolutely no guarantee that one will be accepted...

  20. nclex/rn inquiry

    lawrence01 replied to God'schild's topic in International Nursing

    The problem is CA BRN do not have it in their file. It may be just a matter of logistics and w/c can be easily be remedied fast if you just re-do it again rather than investigate at what point the...

  21. Texas Service Center Tracker for I-140

    lawrence01 replied to lawrence01's topic in Immigration Advice

    Texas SC is fortunately predictably still 6 mos. or so. Good chance your I-140 will be reviewed on Jan. 2008. Good luck and keep us

  22. Nebraska Service Center Tracker for I-140

    lawrence01 replied to lawrence01's topic in Immigration Advice

    Did you consider the time zones ? You might have called after office hours or they are still out for the holidays. I'd try again on th 1st working day of

  23. CA NCLEX without SSN, can we really ask for an extension to the BON?

    lawrence01 replied to promise2's topic in Immigration Advice

    With barely 3 mos. before expiration you really need to do both to be sure. Not sure why you waited until just 3 mos. to go. Anyway, keep us updated on what

  24. applying to the US and australia at the same time

    lawrence01 replied to jepipie's topic in International Nursing

    You will also have to talk about it with the one who petitioned you in the first place. Remember, you signed a contract with them and if you went through an agency that actually paid for most of your...

  25. Nebraska Service Center Tracker for I-140

    lawrence01 replied to lawrence01's topic in Immigration Advice

    Have you tried contacting Nebraska SC directly and asked why? You should. Are you even sure that this was still the original petition? Many people who use agencies to file their I-140s sometimes do...
