Re: Advice for Uk nurse looking to study in the USA
If the new employer is that serious about waiting so long for you, perhaps they can look into an employment-based immigrant visa. You'd have to get married, but that way both you and your wife become US Permanent residents upon entry.

I agree with Noorah, get married and go for the Immigrant Visa.

Re: Advice for Uk nurse looking to study in the USA
Thanks for all the comments and help, it’s been very eye opening to say the least.
i wasn’t aware of the October 2020 part and the lottery situation so I may well get the ball rolling and use the 18 months to find a solution to the situation. Maybe marriage is the best/only viable option.
Thanks once again for the advice and the help.

For the curious can you mention what kind of work? And would it be hard to find Americans to do the job?

That's October 2020 assuming that you qualify for an H-1B visa, assuming that the company sponsors you for one, assuming that you are selected in the lottery and assuming that Congress doesn't pass any reforms to the current immigration laws between now and then.
There's a lot that could potentially go wrong (and an awful lot that has to go right) between now and then.

Re: Advice for Uk nurse looking to study in the USA
It seems like it’s a crude approximation based on forecast. Seems similar to 2019/20 season where I re it was around 200k applications for 65+20 cap, which is about 40%.
Googling “2020 h1b lottery results” will bring up estimates and previous years count of applications filed, and USCIS itself lists the cap numbers:
https://www.uscis.gov/working-united...020-cap-season
do you thing those numbers are way off?
