If You are a nurse or if you know any nurse friends who have been abandoned by their sponsors/petitioners in recent years. If they already have established priority dates either in 2005 or 2006 but now have no sponsor, you can refer them to me , and I will pay you a fee of $ 400 on each nurse you refer ,if they meet our recruitment criteria

ReplyDeleteMy PD is oct 2006 and i have to take part for ielts exam for renewal my visa screen .I took part for this exam for two times .the first time i got 7 in speaking but my overall was 6 .The second time my overall was 6.5 but me speaking was 6.5 too .can i send them for renewal of visa screen .Do you think that they would accept these two together?
@negaresh,
ReplyDeleteYes you can. CGFNS accepts clubbed scores as long as both test results are currently valid.
thanks for your help
ReplyDeletehmmmm... march 2005... still a long way to go, wake me up when it's current, my PD is 09/2006
ReplyDeletehello rajani,
ReplyDeletecan't finf the clubbed info anywhere. Do u have any link for the info.
overall band should be 6.5 and speaking would be 7
ReplyDelete@kuwait,
ReplyDeleteThere is no link as such. I had clubbed my score (I got once overall 6.5 speaking and next time I got overall 6 but speaking 7) and I was able to get my visa screen when CGFNS received both the TRFs. You can request British Council or IDP to give you the TRF for sending clubbed score.
@kuwait
ReplyDeletePlease read as overall 6.5 and speaking 6 (forgot to mention speaking 6)
Thank you Rajani.
ReplyDeletei got a band score of 6.5 but 6 for speaking so sad...have to retake again...oh! never ending agony for nurses...i took ielts just for the renewal of visa screen ...why do we have to take ielts again?????
ReplyDeleteHi everybody
ReplyDeleteI passed the Nclex-Rn exam of Michigan 2 years ago and it will be expired in 2 months .Is there anyone who knows what should i do to renew my license.Or is there any site that i can pay the renewal fee?
thanks in advance
THERE IS NO NEWS ABOUT CIR NOW.
ReplyDeleteDREAM ACT IS ALSO DEAD
REPUBLICANS ARE AGANIST CIR WHO ARE CONTROLLING THE HOUSE
IF A BILL TO BE PASSED BOTH HOUSE & SENATE HAS TO PASS
I THINK IT IS BETTER TO CONCENTRATE IN THE JOB WE ARE HAVING NOW THAN TO DREAM ABOUT AMERICA AND WASTING OUR LIFE
The American Nursing Dream is dead for Pinoys.
ReplyDeleteGet a life and move on.

ReplyDeleteHi violet!The IELTS test fee is Php8,640. I just took it last November and luckily I made it again so, my visascreen which expired last May was already renewed.Thanks a lot to my employer-petitioner who shouldered the renewal fee and who is always there to support me. I understand all visascreen fees increased.My PD is June 2006, still a long way to go.

i've been working here in the US for a year now as H1-B RN, my visa screen expires in August this year, do I need to re-take the English for the renewal? anyone who can help? thanks-aubrey

ReplyDeleteAccording to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, one million citizens and legal immigrants currently are looking for work in Texas. At the same time, according to a 2010 Pew Hispanic Center study, there are one million illegal immigrants working or looking for work in Texas. That is unfair to legal workers.
Worksite enforcement efforts have fallen dramatically since President Obama took office—administrative arrests are down 79 percent from 2008, criminal arrests are down 62 percent, and convictions are down 70 percent. That means it is easier for illegal immigrants to keep jobs that rightly belong to U.S. citizens.
We could free up millions of jobs for Americans and legal immigrants if we enforced our immigration laws against illegal workers.
Hi Raji,
ReplyDeleteI have also renewed a visascreen online very recently. They require us to submit a validation of license from a governing body only, nothing from a college of nursing.
to Aubrey,
I'm in the UK at present and I have taken IELTS again in August last yr.as my visascreen had expired.
Hope these can be of help.
thanks starlight.
ReplyDeleteTHANKS STARLIGHT!
ReplyDeletethanks starlight!
ReplyDeleteHi Starlight,
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for your advise,
Best regards,
Be positive with your dreams!
ReplyDeleteThe right time will come before you crack! It's a matter of testing your real perseverance...
About visa screen...... my gf renewed it b4 our sked interview last oct 2010. The consular officer asked for other docs, but not the renewed visa screen certificate. Not very sure, but was thinking that visa screens are needed only during the filing of a case/petition at USCIS. I think a valid VSC is only needed upon filing a new petition, and not for a petition that was already filed, unless your petition was filed without it. Better ask your lawyers, and make sure they thought of their answers well.
God bless,
Caterine Jones
caterin, thanks a lot. my priority date is feb. 2007, when i had my consular interview in manila for my H1-B, i was asked to provide a copy of my permanent RN license not my visa screen unlike the rest of us. fortunately, i was given 3 years but not my friends, they've got only 8 months!
ReplyDeleteCJ,
ReplyDeleteThat happened too with one of my friends, when she went for a consular interview, she had an expired VS cert.but she was accepted. I just thought of renewing it before it's my turn as things might change and I can't afford to miss/delay the sched.of such interview as my daughter is close to a dependent age limit.
CJ and STARLIGHT, i hope it will be the same for my EB-3 visa when it comes coz i simply hate to re-take the english exam, anyway i asked my recruiter regarding this matter and just waiting for their reply. thanks
ReplyDeleteHello Aubrey & Starlight,
ReplyDeleteI like your being optimistic and being good girl scouts - always ready at all times.
Well, there's nothing much better than to be ready for the worst scenario and be on top of it when it comes.
My family hold on to our dreams for 7 years of waiting despite being abandoned twice by our first petitioner, and once by the second. Our humility & persistence touches the first petitioner, which made them refer us to a friend Hospital, and here we are in the US now, landing a job in another hospital recommended by the first petitioner.... Hmmmmmmm, that was very complicated, and we never thought it would go through, but it was the GOOD LORD and the Good Virgin Mary of Ermita & Simala that helped us through the interview.......
CJ
hi
ReplyDeleteI want to know that priority date is the time that we apply for immigration or is the time that our document were approved in the immigration process?is there anyone who could help me?
CJ,
ReplyDeleteIt's just a matter of PATIENCE and DETERMINATION. THANKS
negaresh,
ReplyDeleteThe date when the USCIS receives all your documents will be your priority date. Just make sure once it's approved, re-check your priority date coz what happened with me,they put my priority date when they approved it, it's good my recruiter immediately fixed it and didn't take much time. hope this helps
Congratulations CJ, Job well done! Perseverance is the key to success, of course always with prayer. Wish you more success with your biggest move to the dreamland.
ReplyDeleteHi aubery
ReplyDeletethank you .I will ask my recruiter .
Hi everyone....my visa screen will be expiring on oct 2011,and my pd is august 12 2006,will i renew my visa screen?thanks..i;m so confused...Neeed HELP...thanks again..
ReplyDelete@ aubrey
ReplyDeleteWere you able to get a reply from your recruiter concerning VisaScreen Certificate as to when it is needed? Is it needed during the case filing at the NVC or during consular interview for the issuance of immigrant visa of healthcare workers?
Thanks very much.
jean,
ReplyDeletei've got the reply from my recruiter and the news?? i need to re-take the english exam for the renewal of my visa screen, oh my! I'm already here in the US working as an RN.
jean,
ReplyDeletemy renewed visa screen will be needed for my EB-3 consular interview. hope this helps
To aubrey
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, aubrey. I'm so happy for you that you're now there in the US working as a nurse while waiting for your EB3 petition, unlike me. Every time I applied for a US employment under working visa, the agency turns me down because of my pending EB3 petition, citing conflict of interest as the primary reason.
jean,
ReplyDeletethanks,conflict of interest??? i think it depends upon your agency.partly, can't blame them coz it's risky on their part like what happened in my agency, they applied 60 RN's for HI-B and only 2 of us were approved ,then tried the others for the 2nd time, 3 got it after re-application. and it's too expensive..they loss huge amount of money that's why they stop it now. hope this info helps
aubrey,
ReplyDeleteThanks very much for that info. It's now crystal clear to me that the agency was just playing safe then.
