Re: Nurse visa sponsor in Orlando
Yes, the agency is leading you on as they cannot guarantee a visa - in fact, I bet they haven't had any visas approved for a few years now. Ask them exactly what visa they will sponsor you for, and when, and then the good folks here can tell you whether that's likely. A few nurses do get H1-B visas but this is extremely rare and I suspect they have some sort of specialty that sets them apart from the other 99.9%.

Re: Nurse visa sponsor in Orlando
Hi all,
new to this...so please bear with me
I have been reading through the above conversation and I was wanting to ask some questions.
I have been trying for the last 9months to try and attempt the confusing process of CES/NCLEX and hoping for a move to Florida.
After reading some of the comments above I can see that this is highly unlikely....
The process is very confusing and I have been using an agency that I feel has been spinning me lies and leading me on...
My CES report was rejected for not having enough clinical/theoretical hours and my university has provided them with a more indepth detail and im hoping the re report comes back successful...but it seems that this is not the hard bit but finding a job and a sponsor is...I am currently a qualified adult nurse working in Glasgow, Scotland.
I was just wondering if anyone who has managed or failed could give me some advice on whether this is possible or whether i am just wasting my money, time and emotions??
Thanks in advance

If you've got any other means of getting a visa to move to the US such as a company transfer or a spouse getting a company transfer and you're looking to see how you can get state certified, that's a different matter.

Basically, if you're trying to get into the US on the basis of being a nurse, don't waste your time or the money. It's just not going to happen.

Bob in regard to your above statement I was wanting to ask you a few more questions if you wouldn't mind I really appreciate it.
My husband works with centrica and was looking into a transfer when I received my not going to happen visa lol...if we went ahead with his transfer is there a possibility that I could still nurse? You mention state certified?
Thanks x

Re: Nurse visa sponsor in Orlando
I believe you will need to get certified in the state you'll be living in, so do some research on that.

Yes, if your husband gets a transfer and you get a visa which enables you to work (not all do) then you can do the NCLEX, CGFNS (if required), or any other hoops you need to jump through for the particular state you wish to move to. It will take some time though.

The quota for H-1C is only 500 and they are distributed regionally, so getting one is next to impossible. But she's Australian so she can get E-3.

Re: Nurse visa sponsor in Orlando
What you'd need to do to get state certified for nursing, no idea. But there have been quite a few threads covering Florida, so probably find the info easily enough.
There's also allnursing forum, that might be worth looking at.

Nope, that was the OP. The one I was replying to has only mentioned working in Scotland so far.

Re: Nurse visa sponsor in Orlando
Only about 14 hospitals have H1c and last I heard was not being renewed, was being phased out. H1c is only for 3 years and can not be extended and hospitals with H1c are areas where locals do not want to work. I have heard of nurses getting H1b but not many and most where in Florida which at the moment I believe employers for H1b is non existent

Re: Nurse visa sponsor in Orlando
There's no state certification, only licensure from the state. If you were able to get to the US with a dependent visa via your husband that allowed you to work, you could certainly go about getting licensed in FL. You'd have to check their website as to their requirements for foreign-trained nurses.
I agree that if you are not specialty certified you're unlikely to get your own visa on the basis of a regular nursing position.

Re: Nurse visa sponsor in Orlando
Thanks again to you all for the above information you have all taken the time to inform me about. I have learnt more here in the last 2 days than I have since I started the process.
Thanks again for all the help. I am going to research going as a transfer via my husbands work. X
