retake to CA BON or apply to another state?...please help!

Published

Hello everyone!

Please help me with my case;

1. I'm 21 y.o with H4 Visa and valid until 2011,my lawyer advised and will help me adjust my status to student visa.

2. I took my NCLEX with CALI BON app and failed for my first attempt.

QUESTION:

Since I will be on a student visa, what steps shall I take first?

1. File my reapply application form for CALI?,,,they are asking for SSN***,will i write N/A or just not continue to fill the form?

2. What are the latest requirements for the NCSBN for test takers or repeat test takers?

3. Try another state board of nursing,start from scratch?

I'm really confused and i just found out i still have the opportunity to stay here in usa legally, but i don't know if i have still chance to take NCLEX for the second time.

Please help me.

Thank you and God Bless us all.:wink2::saint:

I thought your father had lost his job? If that is the case then how is he staying in the US legally?

Yes Maam.

But he applied to another company,hot accepted and his visa has been transferred already.

Thus he is legal to stay here.He is still on H-1B visa.

And as far as legal is concerned as long as your visa is valid,you can stay legally.

Silverdragon wasn't it posted before that they might not renew the H1b visas? I can't remember which visa that might not be renewed once it's expired.

H1b can be transferred as long as requirements are met but if a visa has expired then without a able immigrant lawyer then generally you have to leave. Always best to check with an appropriate lawyer who has experience in the visa in question and also make sure you understand requirements because if anything should happen then immigration are not bothered if you say well the lawyer didn't tell me as they believe it is your responsibility to understand everything

found this which states a new I129 must be filed before they can start work for a new employer http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=77eaec897643f010VgnVCM1000000ecd190aRCRD&vgnextchannel=1847c9ee2f82b010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD

You are thinking of H1C visas and they are the ones that we are not sure if it will be renewed when it expires next year
