Our
Employment Specialist team (the Nurse Guide) will search for an
employer for you through mail, e-mail, the internet or through the
phone. The Nurse Guide will explain the immigration process, the
documents required by INS, enumerate the INS forms to be signed,
obtain the notarized job offer for you and assert your competence as a
Registered Nurse. This is the hardest part in your journey to
the United States and is fully handled by the Employment Specialist.
Without an employer, we could not even start the petition papers.
The fee to cover expenses including advertising, bulk mails, mass
telephone calls, internet search, and to engage the services of
employment specialist team is $4,000. Most employers pay for
these expenses plus your airfare and temporary housing, among others. No
other services should be expected from the Nurse Guide thereafter so
all your present and future concerns should be directed to Ruben B,
Ealdama, Email:
workandstay@usa.com. Should your employer chose not to pay
the expenses and you are willing to proceed, the above fee is paid in
three (3) installments as we
progress with your immigration visa.
One-third is paid upon filing of your immigrant Worker Visa, one-third
is paid upon receipt of your Packet 3 and the final one-third of fee
is payable upon obtaining your visa, definitely not after arrival in
the United States. Some
employers prefer to see your resume' in email form and documents at
one time. Most employers interview applicants by overseas phone. You
have to call them on an appointment date and within a designated
hour/s or vice versa. You should speak slowly and do not let your accent control
your speech. Speak slowly, in a way that you could be understood by
Americans. Please be aware of international time differences. You may
contact an international telephone operator for assistance, or other
ways. We will prepare the petition papers and send you the employer
-signed 3-year work contract and
"qualification of alien" form for your signature.

You will
wait for the petition approval which is usually 6-8 months.
Your "priority date" will be written on your approval notice.
You then have to wait
until your "priority date" becomes "current."
For most countries, the "E32" is "current."
You can check with the Visa Bulletin from this website. You can also
check the status of your visa. A link is available for you also
from this website.

When your "priority date"
becomes "current," you will receive from National Visa Center your
Packet 3 which you must complete and submit to Department of State
(different address) with US$260 visa fee per person including husband
and children. . You will be requested to have your medical check-up
taken. Your fingerprints will be taken at the port of entry in
USA. The Embassy will require an affidavit of support from a relative
in the United States that would guarantee you from being a public
liability. You may include your own financial resources to add weight
to that guarantee. When everything is completed, the consul will grant
your immigrant visa. You then travel to USA on a scheduled flight.
You must inform us two week in advance of your flight. A place to
stay or hotel reservation will be arranged. You must have enough
pocket money until your first pay day. You will be given directions
how to proceed to your place of work. Informing us of your arrival
date only when you are ready to board an airline, deprive us of our
ability to arrange for someone to pick you up or make reservation for
a hotel for your temporary stay. You will be stranded.

Your Green Card
The permanent visa we will work for is
valid for 10 years. It includes your immediate family (spouse and
children under 21years of age). All of you will be allowed to work
and live anywhere in the United States. In consideration to your
employment contract with your petitioner, however, you must intend
to remain in their employ as agreed. After continuous five years of
residency in the United States, you may apply for U.S. citizenship
or renew your "Green Card" on its 10th year for another 10 years.
