The way toward getting a green card for nurses can be challenging, so we've made a free immigration sponsorship process for international nurses that we oversee from application through endorsements. Here's the means by which it works.
Once you pass the NCLEX, We will file an I-140 petition to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) on your behalf. The petition includes forms, as well as information about your nursing background and about the Assigned Facility as an employer.
All petitions to meet EB3 visa requirements are either: Approved Denied Trigger a Request For Evidence (RFE) aka more information. Because of our legal expertise, most of our petitions result in approvals. Sometimes we receive RFEs that delay the process, but our petitions are ultimately typically approved.
Once your petition is approved, USCIS assigns you a priority date, which puts you in line for a visa. These are first-come, first-served, however nationality does factor in as some countries have greater demand for immigration. The USCIS releases a monthly bulletin with this information, which we tracks and shares.
You then go to the National Visa Center (NVC). Once we have your NVC documentation, we will pay the visa processing fee on your behalf. The NVC stage procedure is currently up to you to finish. If NVC wants further paperwork or if you have any issues, we'll be here to help. which can cause further delays.
Reminder: Prepare your VisaScreen Certificate. CGFNS International will carry out a thorough screening to determine your eligibility for a permanent resident visa. You'll need to bring this VisaScreen to your embassy interview.
The last step is to attend an interview. We will prepare you fully with documents, a medical exam, and information about what you can expect in the interview.
Once you pass the interview, you’ll begin the process of moving to the U.S, get your green card, and begin your career with the assigned facility.
