  1. Employers and Visas

    lawrence01 replied to suzanne4's topic in International Nursing

    Just want to add few more things as well. 1) No lawyer can guarantee a case will move faster and will be given visas sooner than some nor the lawyer has a say on when things will move forward again;...

  3. RP eyes Finland as new destination for nurses

    lawrence01 replied to pinoy_guy's topic in International Nursing

    This seems to be on the same line as w/ Spain (also EU btw). Both are just pilot programs, so the success and continuation of the program will depend entirely on the first batches. The Spanish Gov't...

  4. Ptb?

    lawrence01 replied to abtrn's topic in International Nursing

    As long as it is not an active PTB (and it's not anymore), then no

  5. Visa Screen

    lawrence01 replied to suzanne4's topic in Immigration Advice

    You may want to e-mail NM and ask about it or e-mail CGFNS if they have received it. Sometimes, they fail to update their client's accounts even though they already have all the

  6. NVC -CP- GC Tracker

    lawrence01 replied to dhel28's topic in Immigration Advice

    You should pay all your visa fee bills now. Ask your lawyer about it. She should be on top of this. They actually ask for the visa fee bill first before they do anything; as with any other...

  7. Thank you ALLNURSES.COM

    lawrence01 replied to SilverSurfer's topic in International Nursing

    Congrats from your allnurses.com family.

  8. AOS filers from July 2007

    lawrence01 replied to RNGrad2006's topic in International Nursing

    This is because they got swamped by 300k applications in just 1 month or so. So, you will be seeing people who filed on the same day but one having her NOR already while none yet for others. This is...

  9. TOEFL or IELTS for New Jersey?

    lawrence01 replied to pRinSesa's topic in International Nursing

    You may want to confer that w/ CGFNS and take special note that she mentioned CGFNS as a whole and did not mention a specific service from CGFNS or what their own boards accepts. CGFNS has always...

  10. Im a newly RN planning to work in the US and i need advises.

    lawrence01 replied to ecmicahrn's topic in International Nursing

    Also, just to add a few more things to what dave23 just posted. Adjusting from tourist visa to green card is also not anymore allowed. Deadline for filing the I-485 (AOS) was last Aug. 17, 2007....

  11. Help on adjustment of status

    lawrence01 replied to sebastianm's topic in International Nursing

  12. AOS filers from July 2007

    lawrence01 replied to RNGrad2006's topic in International Nursing

    Just want to add that whether it is just a conservative 300k or there are actually more that has trickled in Aug., 300k still represents more than 2 years worth of visas and if they get swamped by all...

  13. TOEFL or IELTS for New Jersey?

    lawrence01 replied to pRinSesa's topic in International Nursing

    Do not worry too much about the IELTS not being accepted. The poster that posted that her IELTS was accepted by CGFNS' CES report for the NJ BON should give you the confidence that is already being...

  14. TOEFL or IELTS for New Jersey?

    lawrence01 replied to pRinSesa's topic in International Nursing

    If someone was already able to make use if the IELTS for NJ and it was accepted then it means they already accept it. As mentioned before, NJ only accepts TOEFL before but this doesn't mean they...

  15. AOS filers from July 2007

    lawrence01 replied to RNGrad2006's topic in International Nursing

    No, the 300,000 was reported only for the month of July. I made a thread about it when it was published in US newspapers. Also, I-485s can still be filed up to Aug. 17 (that was the Aug. 17 deadline...

  16. which exam should be taken next?

    lawrence01 replied to wintle's topic in International Nursing

    Unfortunately, filing of AOS is currently not allowed anymore. Deadline for filing AOS was last Aug. 17, 2007 and there was an unprecedented number that filed. It will be backlogged for some time...

  17. AOS filers from July 2007

    lawrence01 replied to RNGrad2006's topic in International Nursing

    Texas SC has slowed down significantly since the 2nd half of Nov. 2006. It has been averaging 5-7 mos. to give approvals or sending RFEs since then. Before Nov. 2006, TSC was averaging only 1-2 mos....

  18. October visa bulletin

    lawrence01 replied to seiko's topic in International Nursing

    I agree with you that the DOS still do not have all the data they need because they are not even through w/ collating and giving the receipts from the applications in July and August of this year,...

  19. Health tourism in the Philippines?

    lawrence01 replied to AstonishiaInlimbo's topic in International Nursing

    It is a very good idea but PH has no infrastructure to do this as of the moment. They can start building-up now but it will be awhile before we catch up w/ the other ASEAN countries already doing...

  20. Mandatory SSS coverage of OFWs

    lawrence01 replied to pinoy_guy's topic in International Nursing

    This really is extortion or daylight robbery to our OFWs, esp. those who are working abroad in temp. work permits/visas. They are also trying to include nurses for the US but honestly I question...

  21. CNN and Doctor Drain

    lawrence01 replied to suzanne4's topic in International Nursing

    I agree with you, Rep. I also think there really is no difference between a regular or 1st courser nurse and someone who took it up as a 2nd course or changed careers. If both of them are gonna...

    lawrence01 replied to johnarigo_31's topic in International Nursing

    No, not all State BON needs the diploma. If the State BON you've chosen does not require it, then don't give it. Each State BON has their own

    lawrence01 replied to kirsten_07's topic in International Nursing

    Already answered your PM. Just wait for your schedule and pick up your personal copy of the certificate on the day you are scheduled to get it. Frankly, I'm a bit surprised that they didn't give...

  25. US demand for Filipino nurses declining - educator

    lawrence01 replied to pinoy_guy's topic in Philippines
