There are many ways to skin a cat but whatever they twould think of doing, applicants w/ earlier Priority Dates will always be handled first, so long as they belong to the same category.

These are one of the things we should be reading about when the final draft of the Bill gets approved and even an approved Bill will not be perfect.

Thanks! Lawrence for the input!!

I am waiting for the final joint congress bill to pass before my employer files for a petition. I am thinking if this is a good move or a blunder???

...it's like playing chess now. We need to have a good opening so that we can play around the board in the middle game and hopefully, can find ourselves in the end game fast enough and winning. However, changing the rules of the game in the middle of it isn't so good. So we should first stop for while, think of a better move, considering the rules may change anytime.

In my analysis, with the new proposed system, nurses will still be in good position. This is taking into consideration that most foreign nurses have degrees, can speak english, have experience, and licenced or can pass NCLEX (50% passing rate of tens of thousands of takers).

But still, we hope for exemption of schedule A occupations from numerical limits. Some groups are already lobbying for it. Let's hope and pray....

Good for those who have started with the I-140. In my case, I have completed my requirements (NCLEX-RN, VSC) only recently and have not signed a contract with anyone yet. The prospective employer told me that they wouldn't start with the immigration process until a new law is passed. Would there be any significant difference if they filed the I-140 now considering that there are no visas available? Aside from being given a slot in the visa queue that is. I mean there are agencies that tell you they will file the I-140 immediately, but I don't quite trust them. So far I like my prospective employer because they're honest with me even if I don't have a contract with them.

I am also in this similar situation. I don't want to make guesses, but now, I am wondering what happens to most of us who haven't started filing yet.

I would agree with my prospective employer on waiting for the CIR to be passed before starting with the petition. I mean we are already at the end of the EB3 queue so waiting would not be that hard . Plus, the new law COULD contain other visa options for nurses wishing to work in the US and if our employers will take that option, we MIGHT actually get there faster.

Is there a slim chance of getting a visa approved if we start with step 1 of visa application this year? I mean, what's the chance of us getting to the States in the next 2 years if we just start now?

There are news recently that those I-140 petition filed after May 15, 2007 until after the effectivity of the new bill will be denied if the bill is enacted into a law.

This means that it is really not good to file a petition while this bill is being discussed in Congress.

Sorry, but definitely not true at all. Talk is not a bill being passed. That is strictly one person's opinion, and not a good one at that. They are making assumptions that do not even exist, and on laws that are not non-existant. That just shows how rumors get started and spread. Would not trust one word that I saw in the same place that you read this.

And actually there are many agencies that are scurrying to get petitions submitted now, if they can to avoid the increase in immigration fees. They get passed on to the nurse in the long run so you will be seeing increase in the contract lengths, etc. Depends on who you signed with in the first place. Some agencies are not interested in investing their money in a nurse. That would be someone that I would not even consider working for.

This is not posted as a link, and reviewed that site. It it just opinions about the CIR, and definitely not what is happening at all right now. Not even sure where they came up with that information. We do not even know if the merit system will come into play at this time. They are definitely jumping to conclusions before any bill has even been passed.

Not impressed with that site at all from what I just saw.

Just want to add that this is prob. one of the reasons why USCIS officially made a press release about CIR. Please refer to this thread for reference: https://allnurses.com/forums/f75/uscis-advises-public-re-immigration-fraud-proposed-immigration-reform-legistlation-227467.html

suzanne4, RN · Jun 4, 2007

Exactly. We are seeing more fraudulent agencies appearing trying to cash in on people that do not know the rules and the laws of the US.

The final bill will not be seen until it gets passed and signed by the President. It is not going to happen for a couple of months more. Bush does not expect to see it get to his desk until sometime in August.

You have to remember that the bill needs to get approved by both the Senate and the House of Representatives before it will get sent for signing. Most of you are forgetting how we do things in the US.
