REGISTERED NURSES
Information
how to petition RNs thru Green Card
|
|
U.S.
Employers may petition Foreign-trained Registered Nurses who are
overseas, and have passed the test given by the Commission on
Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS) which is the sole education body
that is authorized by the US government to screen foreign nurses before they are
allowed to travel to this country.
|
|
The CGFNS certificate, visascreen certification,
English
tests and other
records, are sufficient documentation for a foreign nurse to be classified as
"Schedule A" E32 immigrant professional for permanent work and stay, according
to Sec. 203(b)(3) (A)(ii). REGISTERED NURSES from the Philippines are
interested to work for you on a permanent visa. The foreign RNs are eligible to take the State Board of
Nursing examination. The
CGFNS test is tantamount to the State Board exams so
the chances of foreign RNs to pass
the NCLEX are relatively high. (In the event
that the RNs fail the NCLEX, s/he is allowed to retake the examination with no
limit.) All these overseas RNs hold a bachelor of science in nursing (BSN)
degree, speak good English (passed U.S. government's required English
proficiency exam - Test on English as a Foreign Language (toefl), Test on
Written English (twe) and Test on Spoken English (tse), and have at least 2
years nursing work experience at hospitals or private homes in their home
country, Asia or Middle East countries |

They are excellent staff for all elderly healthcare
programs. To petition a foreign nurse requires a processing time of 6 to 10
months. It is advisable to petition now as the Philippines'
employment-based 3rd preference visa for professionals is "current" at the
present time. The RNs will sign a 3-year work contract. Generally, overseas RNs
stay with employers for a much longer period of time. There is no need for
employers to obtain a "labor condition application" or the so-called "labor
attestation" from the U.S. Department of Labor, as in H-1B visa petitions. They
need assistance to locate their place to stay near their place of work, but they
will pay the rent. They arrive with their permanent work and stay visas which
will allow you to hire them indefinitely. A corporate office may file the
petitions for RNs who will be assigned to work at any of its nursing homes
located anywhere in the United States. (National organization chart and financial statements may be required
by
INS.) |
You may interview
by overseas telephone, or select and hire the RNs at our offices
abroad, or from our files. After choosing your future RN employees,
we will prepare all documentation required by INS. All you and your
representative need to do is to sign the petition papers. We will assist the RNs from their home country to
obtain their visas at the
U.S. Embassy, and let them travel directly to their
work places. |
|
You will be notified of every RN's arrival date,
airport and flight schedule. We will arrange the hotel rooms of those who may
need to stay overnight. We will be responsible for relocation or return
transport of RNs found undesirable. The professional worker shall have the
rights and privileges as a citizen of this country. They may be fired for just
cause or dismissed for insubordination. They are also eligible for promotions.
U.S. Employers must intend to hire the foreign professional as a Registered
Nurse only. The petitions, therefore, must supported by statements of
specific work place assignment, time/shift of work, duties and other job details
of a Registered Nurse. The salary offer must be within 5% bracket of the
prevailing wage rate in the area of employment. |
