I know that this has been discussed over and over again. I'm a 2nd year mental health nursing student, in the uk and my partner lives in america. When i qualify i will eventually move to usa. However i don't want to waste my training and i love this and want it to be my career.
I have looked through all the old post and trying to work out best way to convert. I know that it's all to do with hours in areas i need to make up. However no one is actually saying how or where to make these up. The universities over here, don't let you do these extra areas.
Anyone have any ideas of how or where we can make these hours???
Thankyou so much, this has really been hanging of my head and of course it has caused problems for my relationship. it is nice to know that it is possible to convert and be able to use my diploma, even if i have to do more hours. Unfortuntely my school doesn't allow us to do any extra training. so i think i will try and do it in the states.
what visa do you guys think is most appropriate? a student one or to go over as a fiance or already married???
thanks guys

I work with a nurse from the Philipines who was married after her visa application. She came here on a contract, and has a green card. Unfortunately, her husband cannot get a visa even to visit. The problem is the government here assumes that he wouldn't go back home. She will become a citizen in 3 years, and then can apply for his visa.
In the meantime, she went home to visit, got pregnant and returned to the Philipines with her 6 week old baby. Daddy is now raising her little one, as she would have problems with child care here.

So, get married!
