You keep starting new threads on this, you don't need to do that you could reply to the posts in the ones you've already started.

Have you actually got a Green Card? But no you can't take your mum and dad with you.

takes about 14 years or so for a permanent resident to petition for an alien relative to move to the USA.

no but i can get one and what i would like to know is can my husband come with me and once we live in the usa would i be able to sponser my family so they could join me. the thing is my mum would be working my little brother would need to go to school and my gran and granda would be ritired

Right if you are a qualified nurse and GET your Green Card, yes your Hubby (&kids) can go with you. As far as other members of your family - this takes years as someone else had already mentioned. You have to be a resident for so many years before you can sponser a family member and then that can take 10 yrs from the info I have already found out from other people on this Forum.

Why would Gran and Grandpa need to go? if they just wanna get out of England, or need to go to sunnier climes, tell them to move to the Costa Del Sol or something?

My Sister sponsored me back in Sept 92,we have now just completed DS-130 forms and are waiting for the Embassy Interview Jan 04 ,as you can see it takes a long time.My wife has to take the NCLEX exam for the State she wants to nurse in as well as do the CGFNS Exam which alot of States require to verify your UK nursing school records hope this helps

SueIP

Florida only require the NCLEX (thank goodness!!!!)

Ray

Your taking it again next month if remember correctly Sue..Will this be your 4th or 5th attempt ..

UKzeus

Yep thats why all the nursing agencies send UK nurses there to get the NCLEX exam done ,

Your Husband and any children under 21 will be able to join you if you get a green card and come over to nurse. You can sponsor your parents as soon as you are a US citizen. It will take you 5 years from the time you get your gc until you can apply for USC, this takes another yearish. Your can then sponsor your parents, you are looking at a minimum 6 years.

The problem is that you may not get a gc straight away for nursing, you may come over on work visa and have to apply for a gc later.

In all probability it will take 10 years to get your parents over, there are no short cuts.

Now stop starting so many threads on the same ****ing subject, go and do some research and decide if you want to come over as a nurse and worry about your parents later.
