Health Care was passed by the U S Congress and signed into law by President Obama on XXXXXXXXX Comprehensive Immigration Reform (CIR) has been introduced into the House (12-15-09) and the Senate ( ) Both versions exempt registered nurses from the visa quota. Seperate legislation has been introduced into Congress to make visas available for nurses (February 2009 H R 5924: Emergency Nursing Supply Relief Act and a new Non-immigrant visa “W” for nurses, Nurses Relief Act of 2009). The nurse shortage has been acknowledged by the US Department of Labor for many years by listing nurses on its Schedule A list. These are not random facts. Presently there exist a visa backlog of visas for nurses. Without a change to the U S immigration laws the wait can be up to 8 years for a nurse to immigrate to the U S with a green card. But this will soon change either by the passage of CIR or individual legislation making visas available to Schedule A nurses. Conduct your own research. Independently study the nursing shortage and the need to make visas available to nurses. If you determine that the nursing shortage will not go away and that visas will soon be available for Schedule A nurses, now is the time to act. Now is the time to act if you want to get to the U S working as a nurse, with a green card, based on your medical/dental education. |
