Sen. Cantwell (D – WA) has submitted an amendment to the Senate’s CIR. The amendment is co-sponsored by several “name” Senators – Leahy, Cornyn, and Hatch...................
It only allows sponsorship for “professional” EB3 workers, and eliminates the “skilled worker” provision of the current system. The significance of the change is that the line between “professional” and “skilled worker” is usually drawn between nurses and physical therapists. A professional occupation is one which requires a Bachelors degree for employment; a skilled worker is one which does not........................
Sen. Cantwell surely did not intend to strike nurses from this amendment. Rather she assumed that skilled workers could take advantage of the permanent residency opportunities offered in the merit-based system

Solve the retrogression NOW or NEVER. ACT NOW or let retrogression continue for ever.
To all nurses especially US nurses,
Please call your senators for an amemndment favoring unlimited Schedule A visas. This is extremely important because CIR debate in Senate will continue only for few more days. Out of 108 amendments on the senate floor there is not even a single one favoring Shedule A applicants. Schedule A immigration does not affect US labour market in any way since these are shortage occupations. Meet, call, fax. webfax the senators/senators office immediately. Let your friends and relatives also follow the same. Please visit the following websites for further information. Talking points and how to contact the senators are all included in the links. Its the time to DO or DIE. Otherwise the retrogression will last for ever.Please keep this post on the top always.
