COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE December 15, 2009 Congressman Luis Gutierrez introduced into the U. S. House of Representatives Comprehensive Immigration Reform During the first month(s) of 2010, in the Senate, Senator Schumer is expected to introduce the Immigration Reform Bill that he has been working on. As President Obama and the other key Democrats have announced, first the health care bill that President Obama has pushed must be passed and signed into law, and then President Obama will get behind and push Comprehensive Immigration Reform. Besides making campaign promises to pass immigration reform if he was elected, since elected the president has come out in support of CIR, and his adinistration (DHS) and key democrats have publisized their support for CIR. If we see the healthcare bill signed into law by President Obama, expect to see positive action by Congress on CIR. On December 15, 2009 the media reported "Obama: Health reform at 'precipice' of passage". A summary of the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act introduced by Congressman Luis Guterriez effects foreign nurses directly. Page 3, Title III. Visa Reforms.

Essentially any foreign educated nurse would become current for an immigrant visa if they are exempted from the numerical limitation (visa quota). Medical doctors who have earned their nursing diplomas and passed the CGFNS certification program would become immediately able to be processed for an immigrant visa (green cards). |
