Any UK trained psychologists working in New York
My daughter who is a UK trained psychologist working currently in the NHS with neuro patients is planning to relocate to New York in April with her partner.
What are the likelyhood of her securing employment ? She thinks she will have to sit an exam ? or there any other means of her becoming registered ?
In the eventuality of her not being able to work as a psychologist what other avenues could she peruse eg. research, working for a charity.
Any advice would be welcomed.
Thanking you
Helen

Hi there
I've moved this over to the USA section as you had posted in the Australia section.

We need to know what visa her partner is getting. Are they married? Without being married, she won't get any kind of dependent visa at all. If they are married, then her ability to work in the USA will depend on what visa her spouse is getting. Some dependent visas allow work, and some don't.

B-2 is not really a dependent visa, IMO. It's a visa given based on her own merit. More likely to be granted because of cohabitation, yes. And you are right, no work allowed.

Thank you for your replies. I am unsure what visa her partner will be getting so need to clarify that first. It seems as if they are very strict about working in the USA I think it's going to be a stressful time for her.

I remember a similar query a few months back and replied with some advice from my sister-in-law who is a newly qualified in NYS psychologist. I'm on my phone on a train so can't find the exact details currently but OP could search the board for "psychologist" and I'm sure it'd come up.

This is the thread. I searched for it using my phone!

And if you are in most of mainland China Google isn't an option at all. Yahoo worked most of the time, Google only worked when I was relatively near Hong Kong.

Apparently you can over-ride it somehow, .... a colleague (who is American born and bred, with British/ Welsh ancestry) has set Google Maps on his work computer to use the Cyrillic alphabet!
