Retrogression!!!

Now that the Democrats will rule the 'house' what will happen next? The session will begin this January, will the immigration bill be the first on their list?

I doubt it I am sure they will have other things to think about and immigration will not be high on their list

And what "other things" they will have to think about?

And what "other things" they will have to think about?

Do not live in the US so not sure what other things but after reading a few post on here and other sites I fel immigration is not high on the list and I think the Gulf War is an issue that a lot of people would love to see resolved plus there will be a lot of issues pertaining to the US which we as living in other countries do not always see on the news.

I think they also included health care crisis in their list aside from Iraq's war and immigration. That is what I read in the papers here in Manila.

But you are leaving out the most important part of that, the newspapers in Manila create the news to their advantage.

Immigreation is high on the list here, but for illegals coming up thru Mexico, not for nurses. Two completely different things.

And sure, the new people will be sworn into office in January, but not the first week, and they do not reconvene until the middle of the month.

Quit trying to read too much into it at this point. Not one thing will be done before March..............try and be a little realistic on this. There are msny more pressing issues here.

well said...painful but this is reality... thanks for putting us back to reality...

if the retro gets lifted and US is open again for foreign nurses, how long will it last until another retro comes up?

thanks! :)

How long is a piece of string... Seriously it all depends on what they do to whether it happens again or not.. ie band aid or permanent fix, whether they release x amount of visas like they did last time or do something different with the visas

awww....

its really hard to live in a third world country.

if you get the process moving Pass NCLEX, any language courses etc find a employer and start the process there is no reason once the visas are released that you do not get issued with one. Once starting the process your file once approved moves to the NVC and is processed up to packet 3 so then it is a case of wait for visas. Not saying it is easy living in a third world country but atleast you can do a lot of stuff now
