UK nurse waiting for 10 years for USA

Published

HI,

Nurse here from the UK been a member since 2001. I am back! looking for someone on similar situations as mine. Passed NCLEX 2008, IELTS and applied for visa screen, however, retrogression happened then. So, I was stuck here in the UK, hoping one-day opportunities will happen again. Luckily, late last year, USA open their doors for nurses. A friend of my recommended me to OGP and signed a contract with them, took ielts once again and passed. So, my long lost dream has been lifted. I am again anxious and obviously asking myself "Am I doing the right decision here?" "Will life better in America?". Looking for answers and someone to motivate and enlighten please. Thank you.

Congratulations on your successful US application, MichaRN! I have passed my NCLEX since September of last year, and am now waiting for my priority date to be approved (it has been 4 months now). Is it always this long? And are you loving US vs UK at the moment?

Priority date won’t take long mine wa only 1 month. Me and my family are loving it here.  Just different ways. It’s good so far ?
