Rn introduction

Foreign nurses who have obtained American Registered Nurse License (RN) or Foreign Nurse Certification Examination (CGFNS) certificates can distinguish nurse immigrants. Nurse immigrants are the third kind of immigrants, belonging to professional immigrants (the third preference based on employment, EB3). Because registered nurses (RN) in the United States belong to the long-term shortage of labor in American society, they can directly apply for a green card without applying for a labor card. Generally speaking, the procedure for applying for a green card will be slightly different according to the applicant's location. If the applicant is in the United States, the general application process is divided into two stages. The first stage is that employers send I 140 forms and relevant supporting documents to apply for foreign workers to stay and work in the United States. It usually takes about three to six months for approval. After I 140 was approved, it entered the second stage. The second stage is state adjustment. Foreign nurses send I485 application forms and other relevant documents to adjust their status and wait for green cards. Generally, when sending I485 to adjust the status, you can send an application form for applying for a work permit to apply for a work permit. It usually takes one to three months to get a work permit. At this time, foreign nurses can wait for the green card interview while working. Generally, the average waiting time from I485 delivery to getting a green card is about eight months. In July 2002, a new law was passed, that is, the first and second stages of immigration can be carried out at the same time, and relevant forms such as I 140 and I485 can be sent at the same time. Therefore, the whole approval time will be shortened by 6 to 7 months. If the applicant is not in the United States, the employer must first send the I 140 form and relevant supporting documents to apply for foreign workers to stay and work in the United States. It takes about three to six months for the Immigration Bureau to approve I 140. At this time, the Immigration Bureau will send the approved I 140 to the National Visa Center (NVC) in New Hampshire. As long as there are not many people waiting for the immigrant visa in the country where the foreign nurse is located and there is no delay, the National Visa Center will send a large envelope to the foreign nurse or his attorney. This envelope is called Package3. There are various prescribed forms on package 3, which need to be filled out, completed and signed by the parties and their families, and then sent to the American consulate where the parties are located. After that, I waited for the notice from the American consulate and went to the green card interview. Once the interview is passed, the whole family can enter the United States with an immigrant visa. The so-called family members of the parties include the spouse who got married last time and the children under 2 1 year old.
