    Closing this thread since it has gone off-track and the original purpose of the thread has been adequately met. This is a nursing forum and not an economic forum and globalization is a two-way street...

    Some immigration groups that have stakes in HR 5882 has been advising their members to call their representatives to give support for today's mark-ups. Not sure if it helps, esp. since they are not US...

  9. Philippine Board of Nursing to stop Second Coursers from taking up Nursing

    lawrence01 replied to mtreyes's topic in Philippines

  10. Philippine Board of Nursing to stop Second Coursers from taking up Nursing

    lawrence01 replied to mtreyes's topic in Philippines

    Letting in my opinion on this issue. As far as taking up nursing as your 2nd course or even your 3rd or fourth should really not be an issue. Let's put it this way. Let's say nursing is your first...

  13. DoLE issues certificates for successful nursing retakers

    lawrence01 replied to pinoy_guy's topic in International Nursing

    It would be best if they ask PRC themselves. Better get it straight from the Horse's mouth. Also, I would not bother too much on their situation as they seem not to be bothered by it. As long as...

    Regarding on what to do if cannot file the AOS in the near future ?? Without exactly knowing what your actual status is, I think SD102 has summed it up quite well. If on F1: Many who are graduating...

  20. concerns about the retrogression and remaining in the US with other visas

    lawrence01 replied to nrswnabee's topic in International Nursing

    Here, this was the thread I have done last May citing the possible USCIS proposal to end concurrent filing and since there is no word yet of it, it must be presumed that until further notice that...

    lawrence01 replied to nrswnabee's topic in International Nursing

    lawrence01 replied to nrswnabee's topic in International Nursing

    No, you are not getting it and that is not what I said either. The I-140 need not be approved to file for the I-485 and the EAD. In fact, most file the I-140 and the I-485 and EAD all at the same...

  24. concerns about the retrogression and remaining in the US with other visas

    lawrence01 replied to nrswnabee's topic in International Nursing
