I applied RN green card by myself and I got email today that it has been approved. Want to share info with you guys. I saved $3000 on lawyer's fee.
How to apply RN green card
Immigration Process for RNs Residing in US For Non-Union Hospitals
1st Step
RNs have to have RN license and VisaScreen Certificate and a hospital which is willing to sponsor the nurse green card;
Needed Hospital Info
1) Full name of sponsoring hospital:
2) Hospital address:
3) Address where employee will work, if different than above:
4) Hospital's Tax I.D. number:
5) Number of employees in the hospital:
6) Date the hospital was established & the Hospital's 2005 Gross Annual Income:
7) Name, title and telephone number of person at your hospital who will sign the application
8) Prospective employee's exact salary and number of hours with sponsoring employer and Employment Offer(Job Contract,if applicable) and Job Deion:
E-mail HR requesting employment verification and CFO letters.
You have to show the immigration officer that The Hospital which sponsor your green card has the ability to pay you the salary at the average wage. As long as the hospital has more than 100 employees which most hospitals do,the proof of ability to pay is simply a letter from CFO of the hospital stating things like that XXX Hospital has been existed since 1865. and XXX Hospital have 10,000 employees, our annual gross income in 2005 is $999,555,000& net income in 2005 is $10,000,000 and we can certainly afford to pay this RN the salary of $40,000 a year.
My hospital just gave me a petition letter which says they have the ability to pay me $25 an hour and they are sponsoring me green card and I have been offered a RN position and I got approved.
2nd Step
