RNs, READY FOR YOUR FLIGHT TO USA!

Last night Rep. Wexler (D - FL) introduced our legislation. It is HR 5924, and is co-sponsored by Rep. Sensenbrenner (R - WI). The Government Printing Office has not yet printed the legislation, but since the CTIHS has been instrumental in moving this bill, HLG is very familiar with the legislation. The key points of the legislation are: 1. Lifting of retrogression for Schedule A workers. Any immigrant visa quotas or caps are waived for all visa applications filed for Shortage Occupations (Schedule A occupations: Physical Therapists and Registered Nurses), provided that the I-140 is filed prior to September 30, 2011. 2. 20,000 primary beneficiary quota. While there is no retrogression for Schedule A cases filed before September 30, 2011, Consulates may not approve more than 20,000 primary beneficiary visas in any one year. There is no quota for the immediate family members of such beneficiaries. 3. Expedited Review. The USCIS must review -- and approve or issue an RFE -- on all Schedule A I-140 cases within 30 days of receipt. 4. Grant Fee. All primary beneficiary nursing visas issued under this legislation must pay a fee of $1500. Katrina-effected and HPSA employers do not have to pay the fee. 5. Grant Program. These fees will fund a Grant program. Schools of nursing may draw on this fund based on their student populations. The fees are to be used to attract, train, and retain nursing faculty, purchase educational equipment, expand infrastructure, and attract students. 6. Liberalized US Citizenship for some Health Care workers. Time spent by US Permanent Resident Health acre workers in a developing country will not be held against them in their endeavors to become US citizens. 7. Obligation Attestation. Immigrant visa applicants must attest that they do not owe their country of residence or origin a financial obligation. An obligation is defined as financial assistance that the intending immigrant incurred to defray the costs of education in consideration for a commitment to continue to work in that county. The fact that Rep. Sensenbrenner is co-sponsoring the legislation is particularly important. He is known as someone who is not soft on immigration. He was one of the first Congressmen to call for a fence on the US Southern border. He should signal to some members that this is the kind of immigration legislation that is positive for America. There is a very real chance of this legislation being passed this year.

Some people have mistakenly believed that family members are not eligible for visas under HR 5924. That is not the case. Let me be clear: family members may enter the US as derivative beneficiaries under HR 5924.

So time to cheer dear RNs and PTs. As I always insisted, I do now too and urge you to be really optimistic and start your process immediately and also be sure that you select a very reliable and reputed agency for your process because every minute is valuable and the faster the process the more your chances to reach America and get your dream job there.

Like to know about some reliable agencies or direct recruitment facilities? My own cousin Mrs. Maria Mathew RN, MSN is also into the business of recruiting people directly for her hospital in Texas. Or you can ask me for agencies that have offices in India or who are coming to India regularly for recruitment.

In any case, make sure that you file your I-140 as early as possible and in any case before 2010. Yes, we have a real chance to reach America shortly. Please do visit my blogsite regularly for latest information, and I will be happy to give you all that had anything to do with our immigration process, for or against us, presenting facts as they are.

WANT TO BE MORE INTELLIGENT & YOUNG!

Shall we, today, think about our own brain, the source of all our progress, our knowledge and certainly the reality that makes our dreams come true?

Our brain is certainly the most amazing thing that we possess and it is more powerful and capable than any super computer man could ever make, or will ever make.

But we all have certain misconception about it, and I could correct some of it and I like to share it with you too.

Now we know that training can boost intelligence! That is we can train our brains and develop its powers to such greater heights that you will be wonderstruck someday. Yes, it is possible to train our brains to be more intelligent, increasing the brainpower we had at birth.

Until, now it had been widely assumed that the kind of mental ability that allows us to solve new problems without having any relevant previous experience is innate and cannot be taught. But now it has been proven that the fluid intelligence can be taught and increased.

The key to improving intelligence is carefully structured training in working memory--- the kind that allows memorization of a telephone number just long enough to dial it. You may have this experience, you may be dialing continually for gas refill and you go on dialing the number and you learn it and repeat the dialing but forget the moment you get through the call. To call the gas agency again, you need to look up your diary. This type of memory is related to fluid intelligence and appears to rely on the same brain circuitry.

A group of scientists conducted a study to establish this fact. Firs they measured the fluid intelligence of four groups of volunteers using standard test. Then they trained each in a memory task, a variation on Concentration, the child’s card game, in which they memorized simultaneously presented auditory and visual stimuli that they had to recall later.

The game was set up so that as the participants succeeded, the tasks became harder, and as they failed, tasks became easier (RNs are familiar with this type of test as NCLEX follows a similar test pattern). This assured a high level of difficulty but not as if in a printed question paper, and not so high as to destroy the motivation to keep working.

The four groups underwent training for half an hour daily for 8, 12, 17 and 19 days respectively and at the end of the 19th day they measured the fluid intelligence again, and believe me, the results were striking!

The intelligence level in the trained volunteers was much more than what it was before the training and also the trainers too noted that by giving training their intelligence level too increased.

Intelligence has always been considered principally an immutable inherited trait, but now we know we can certainly increase our intelligence with appropriate training.

So please keep on learning new things and especially languages. Keep on improving the languages you already know, for example, English. Polish and improve your grammatical ability and try to read as much as possible in English. Take up short term courses related to your profession, or learn technical things such as Computer Applications or simply participate in debates etc. Healthy interaction with others and sharing your view points on different subjects can help you increase your intelligence.

And for your children engage them in as many activities as possible, but make sure they enjoy them too. The abacus training is a great tool to develop intelligence in children. Learn driving, learn to type, any of these activities increase your brain activity and so your intelligence and such activities can make your brain really active and young and as a result your body too remains young and healthy.

RNs be ready for a possible NVC interview soon!

Lofgren-Sensenbrenner bill to recapture GCs; Schedule A to come next?

Healthcare Immigration legislation is at a crucial juncture because of, among other reasons, the need to end the retrogression backlog. So please read on and start thinking really positive about your landing in US in the near future. I give you some really good news!

RNs and PTs, We have a real reason to smile!
If everything goes well, our long, long wait for visas will be over in a few months time, as there goes a really effective and near winning effort to recapture about 218000, unused visas, that the US immigration department could not exhaust before the last fiscal year, and the happy news is this that all of these visas are in the employment based categories, that is EB. Yes, there is a real chance for RNs and PTs to win a lions share of the same, as we are in great shortage there.
The importance of this bill and its chances at winning is because of the reason that it is introduced and supported by two very powerful men from both parties in the US,that is this move is bipartisan and so chances of getting it defeated is remote.
Another factor favoring us is the fact the back-logs are so great and they really want to reduce it.
On Wednesday Reps. Lofgren, Davis, and Sensenbrenner introduced H.R. 5882, to “recapture” employment-based (EB) green cards that Congress authorized in the past but that went unused before the end of past fiscal years due to government processing delays. Experts estimate that approximately 218,000 unused EB green cards will be brought back into supply for all employment-based workers.Significantly, HR 5882 has bipartisan support and has two "heavy hitters" (Lofgren and Sensenbrenner) leading the charge. Unlike past immigration proposals, this one has a real chance at passing.The long anticipated legislation targeted at Schedule A occupations -- PTs and RNs -- should be introduced next week. We'll have more information once the bill is formally introduced. Please keep on visiting my blog site and I am sure I will meet you there with more happy news.

ARE YOU ORALLY FIT?

HOW IS YOUR ORAL HEALTH!

The mouth is always full of germs. No matter how often you brush your teeth or rinse your mouth with mouthwashes. You cannot get rid of germs in your mouth. But in a healthy mouth these germs are under control and form an ecological balance. And on the other hand, in a mouth that is not hygienic and not at all maintained, it is just the opposite and is a breeding place for many diseases.

An invisible layer of germs is always present on your tooth surfaces. This layer is called the dental plaque. So plaque is invisible. But a dentist can make it visible with a disclosing solution. If brushing is inadequate, plaque accumulates and causes both tooth decay (cavities/caries) as well as gum diseases (periodontitis /pyorrhea)). In tooth decay, the germs in the plaque pick up food remnants, especially that of sugary or sticky foods, and produce acids. These acids attack the enamel, which is incidentally the strongest part of the human body to form a hole in the tooth. And I am sure you know what happens next! The intense pain starts, and you are left with no choice but either extract the tooth or go on pain killers. Both you will agree are not advisable or comfortable. But if you do not extract the tooth and go on some pain killer, the infection finally travels through the root canal and reaches the bone, where it forms an abscess.

The tooth, in most cases, still can be saved. You will need a technology called RCT here. It is the Root Canal Treatment. And other than forming abscess and forcing you to go for an RCT, the accumulated plaque on the surface of your teeth hardens into stony deposits called tartar or calculus. Now this is a very dangerous condition as it slowly begins to press on the gums, and the gums begins to recede up and up, revealing more and more of your teeth, and leaving you with what we call sensitive teeth, making your life a virtual hell. You cannot take hot, you cannot take cold, and you cannot even brush your teeth properly. And other than this, you begin to experience what is called “Bad Breath” which can go to the extent of becoming a social stigma and make you depressed and unhappy, draining all your confidence out of your system.

Now another conditions called Periodontitis starts here. You not only experience bad breath and its implications, but begins to notice that your gums bleed regularly and even brushing can be a painful exercise, and at this stage, bad breath really begin to emanate from your mouth, the moment you open your mouth and you can experience it yourselves, need not say about others, especially your colleagues etc. Of course, every tooth decay can lead to bad breath, but here the condition is very serious and may give you also many other sicknesses.

Now let me tell you what happens if you just ignore the receding of your gums! After a certain period of time, the bone will be dissolved and the teeth become loose and just fall off.

Now what is the solution? It is actually very simple. Just don’t let plaque accumulate on your teeth. But how? Simple! Brush twice a day at least with good toothpaste that has granules which are round in shape and do cut into your teeth every time you brush your teeth. I recommend AMWAY’S Glister tooth paste, as it is a very advisable one with very fine, round granules and it needs only a little quantity of the same for a thorough cleaning of your teeth. I will advise you to use Persona Tooth Brush also from AMWAY with Glister Tooth Paste, as you need a very good tooth brush too, as a bad choice of tooth brush can actually harm your teeth and gums.

And lastly, avoid eating sugary substances between your main meals and after every meal if possible brush your teeth, and it is especially advisable for those who already have symptoms of bad breath, caries etc. AND most importantly make it a habit to visit your dentist at least once in a year and for better results every six months. This should be the frequency of your child’s visit to the dentist also once he or she becomes 6+ and above

BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS

BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS

Today let me talk to you about certain habits which may damage our brain and health in genera, hope you will find it really useful and ask many more to read it.

1. No Breakfast
People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level.
This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.

2. Overeating
It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.

3. Smoking
It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.

4. High Sugar consumption
Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.

5. Air Pollution
The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.

6. Sleep Deprivation
Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells.

7. Head covered while sleeping
Sleeping with the head covered, increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.

8. Working your brain during illness
Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain.

9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts
Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage.

10. Talking Rarely
Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The main causes of liver damage are:

1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late are main cause.
2. Not urinating in the morning.
3. Too much eating.
4. Skipping breakfast.
5. Consuming too much medication.
6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring, and artificial sweetener.
7. Consuming unhealthy cooking oil. As much as possible reduce cooking oil use when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil. Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is very fit.
8. Consuming raw (overly done) foods also add to the burden of liver.
Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store.

We should prevent this without necessarily spending more. We just have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good eating habits and time condition are very important for our bodies to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals according to "schedule."


Because:

Evening at 9 - 11pm : is the time for eliminating unnecessary/toxic chemicals (detoxification) from the antibody system (lymph nodes). This time duration should be spent by relaxing or listening to music. If during this time a housewife is still in an unrelaxed state such as washing the dishes or monitoring children doing their homework, this will have a negative impact on health.

Evening at 11pm - 1am : is the detoxification process in the liver, and ideally should be done in a deep sleep state.

Early morning 1 - 3am: detoxification process in the gall, also ideally done in a deep sleep state.

Early morning 3 - 5am : detoxification in the lungs. Therefore there will sometimes be a severe cough for cough sufferers during this time. Since the detoxification process had reached the respiratory tract, there is no need to take cough medicine so as not to interfere with toxin removal process.

Morning 5 - 7am: detoxification in the colon, you should empty your bowel.

Morning 7 - 9am : absorption of nutrients in the small intestine, you should be having breakfast at this time. Breakfast should be earlier, before 6:30am, for those who are sick. Breakfast before 7:30am is very beneficial to those wanting to stay fit. Those who always skip breakfast, they should change their habits, and it is still better to eat breakfast late until 9 - 10am rather than no meal at all.

Sleeping so late and waking up too late will disrupt the process of removing unnecessary chemicals. Aside from that, midnight to 4:00 am is the time when the bone marrow produces blood. Therefore, have a good sleep and don't sleep late.

IELTS! it is very easy to score a high band.

ENGLISH MANDATORY FOR ENTRY TO UK


We look toward greener pastures so that we have a more secure life and of course a great future! And that search generally takes us to the exploration of opportunities in European or American countries, where we find more freedom and better living conditions.

But now the question is how to make our journey to our dream destination a reality? And we will in most cases be blatantly told that a certificate to prove your English Proficiency be produced to start the process. And now a even the Credential Verification Service itself may make such a request. Needless to say about the Nclex RN examination, that requires among other things your IELTS certificate or TOEFL certificate, with adequate scores or bands. It is about the American Destination.

What about the European destinations? Even to apply for a registration with their medical council you need either IELTS or TOEFL.

Yes, Britain has imposed a law that requires an adequate knowledge of the English Language as a condition of entry on non-European skilled workers as well. The number of number of non-skilled workers who entered the UK last year was about 96,000. And the government has found out that more than 80% of them were incapable of passing even a Basic English Speaking Test, let alone a Written English Test.

Government estimates say most work-permit holders come from developing countries and the majority belongs to the healthcare sector and also to the Indian Sub-continent. According to reports, last years entrants included 51,000 from Indian sub-continent. The report also asserts that most of these people would not have been able to show they could speak the language fluently, or write it efficiently.

The new rule is going to affect skilled workers such as bankers, multinational company executives, software engineers, doctors, nurses, and teachers and accounting professionals, who are not really proficient in English, both in written and spoken English.

Every non-European potential migrant will now be tested for his/her ability to speak, write and understand English equivalent to Britain’s GCSE or class 10 grades of A to C. They will be required to furnish proof of their proficiency either by means of an internationally recognized English test like IELTS, TOEFL or by showing that they have a Bachelor’s Degree in English from a recognized university.

So now passing English Knowledge tests like IELTS or TOEFL becomes mandatory as most of the healthcare professionals do not hold a Bachelor’s degree in English. So you are going to be tested on four parameters: Speaking, Listening, Writing and Reading.
Now the big question is how to get the desired results in these exams! It is comparatively simple to achieve a very high score or band in these examinations if you first get the fundamental grammatical rules of English correctly. And I do not think the traditional Spoken English Classes or IELTS/TOEFL classes will do anything to give you the required amount of knowledge in English Grammar, which is the basis of success in these exams.

On the other hand from my 12 years of teaching English to students and nurses have found that it can be taught in very simple ways and anyone can learn it without spending a lot of time. All the nurses who attended my English Classes, known as “Dominic’s English Course” passed the IELTS examination at the first attempt itself with the required scores. (No one has so far taken the TOEFL examination from my classes).

Yes, I advice you to take “Dominic’s English Course” first and then take the help of a professional IELTS trainer or Coaching Centre, and you will certainly see how easy it is to clear these examinations with ease and confidence.

The reason for the great number of people failing in the IELTS examination is simply their deficiency in English Grammar and Basic/fundamental concepts. Once you have it, you are confident and ready to take the test.

ENGLISH COACHING THROUGH INTERNET

I offer you coaching in two ways. First the regular in-class training, where you are required to attend classes every day, and then the internet based training, where you get all your classes through internet, and you can converse with me through Yahoo messenger/ Skype etc., and attend personal contact programs may be once in a week for 2 hours or at my place or at pre-arranged locations if there are more than five people attending the same class.

I am not interested in postal tuition because learning a language without a teacher is a near impossibility. But internet is as effective as having a teacher because you can always chat, by typing or using voice. And when convenient, personal coaching can also be given.

My English course not only makes you a confident user of English Language, but you will also see that you are acquiring a new ability to understand any book on English Grammar after completing my course. Which in effect means you will be improving your English everyday, because you have the foundation and fundamental knowledge of this language. You will see you are asked to attend a professional IELTS class because I want you to understand exactly how the exam is being conducted, and not because you want to learn English. There is a big difference in attending an IELTS coaching with a hope to learn English and attending it just to learn the system. And the difference is failure or success, respectively.

Accountability in Immigration Repatriation Act of 2008

What is happening in the US and to our US immigration process!

Last month, in the US senate, a bill was introduced by Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania. It was famously (and certainly not very famous for us who are looking for immigration to US) called “AIR”. Its full form is “Accountability in Immigration Repatriation Act of 2008’.

Now you may wonder what it has to do with your immigration process! Yes! It has everything to do with your immigration process as it can simply kill your American dreams or at least cause your American trip to get postponed indefinitely.

The “AIR” is a legislation that requires countries to take back illegal migrants who have been convicted of crimes in the United States. The eight countries which are going to be affected by this legislation are “India, China, Laos, Iran, Eritrea, Vietnam, Jamaica and Ethiopia”. These countries have refused to repatriate a total of over 1, 39,000 illegal migrants and the worst thing to be noted is this that out of these about 18,000 are dreaded criminals and most of them are of Asian origin.

Now the “AIR” introduced a bill to repatriate these illegal migrants to their own respective countries but a new legislation, which can rightly called the Companion of “AIR” has been introduced in the US senate by Congressman Charlie Dent of Pennsylvania Michael Castle of Delaware.

This new legislation puts India in a greater risk because the bill, if came into effect, could cause all the visa processes even at the level of NVCs to be suspended till the country agrees to repatriate all its illegal migrants.

Now we know it is not going to be any easy task for the Indian Government to take such an action and worse even to get such a bill passed in the Parliament, and hence our chances to get an interview call from the National Visa Center may remain a distant dream, at least for some time, I mean either till the Indian Government takes backs its illegal migrants in the US or the Bill is defeated in the US senate.

But still Nurses and PTs have an edge over others as they are declared to be a special category and are listed as “Having acute shortage and also essential service” as we are called schedule A category. We hope the efforts of senators to reintroduce the Recapturing of 61,000 unused visas may success and it may help in the fast clearing of the back logs and the Current Dates may jump to an earlier date. One thing to remember is AOS(adjustment of status) persons are not affected, and only persons like us who are in their own countries, the CPs (Consular Process)are affected.

The bill requires reports to Congress every 90 days on the countries which inhibit repatriation. Receipt of the report automatically triggers denial of foreign aid as well as suspension of all Visa Issuances to the listed countries. The administration an request a waiver from the congress but must justify such a waiver to be in national interest, and this is exactly our hope, though not a guaranty that a VISA will be issued to us in the normal course of time.

So be very careful about agencies promising immediate recruitment and 12 to 19 months immigration to the States, it is simply not possible, and all such claims need to be dealt with care. I do not think any agency in its right mind would risk spending huge amounts when there is no guaranty that the people they select from a country like India can ever hope to get a Visa or at least in the near future.

So please keep on visiting our blogsite and we will be very prompt to notify you of all the latest developments in the US Senate that affect our immigration plans and process.

As usual we request you to keep visiting our blogsite and urge you to keep your spirits up as things may get brighter soon.

Complete US immigration process for RNs

PERMANENT RESIDENCE FOR NURSES RESIDING ABROAD

Today let us see what are the steps required by an RN to complete the immigration process to enter US successfully.

If the RN resides abroad, which means the nurse is not in the US, the following steps must be completed before the nurse may be employed in the U.S.:

1. The RN must be in possession of:
a. A diploma from a nursing school in her country;
b. An RN license in her country; and
c. A full and unrestricted license to practice professional nursing in the state of intended employment, or a certification issued by the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS), or evidence that she has passed the NCLEX-RN licensing examination but cannot obtain a license because she lacks a social security number.
Although some states require that foreign nurses pass the CGFNS examination before taking the state RN licensing (NCLEX) examination, the number of such states is on the decline. This is because, it now possible to take the NCLEX abroad. The examination is offered in Australia (Sydney), Canada (Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver), Great Britain (London), Hong Kong, India (Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Mumbai and New Delhi), Japan (Chiyoda-ku and Yokohama), Korea (Seoul), Germany (Frankfurt), Mexico (Mexico City), Philippines (Manila) and Taiwan (Taipei). In addition, RNs may take the NCLEX in Guam, Puerto Rico and Saipan.

2. RNs together with physical therapists are listed as shortage, or “Schedule A”, occupations in regulations (20 C.F.R. §656.22) issued by the Department of Labor. An employer who wishes to offer immigration to an RN is exempt from having to submit a PERM application to the Department of Labor.

The immigration process begins when an employer submits an immigrant visa petition (Form I-140) to the service center of the Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) having jurisdiction over the nurse’s place of intended employment. The petition must be accompanied by Labor Department form ETA-9089, by a posting notice, a prevailing wage determination and by various other documents. The petition should also be accompanied by a check for filing fees.

3. The CIS sends the approved visa petition to the National Visa Center (NVC) in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The nurse (or her attorney) receives a "fee bill" asking for all government processing fees to be paid in advance of processing her application and those of her immediate family members. After the fees are paid, the NVC forwards a packet to the nurse or her attorney containing biographical information forms to be completed by her and her family members, and a list of documents which must be submitted.

4. The RN, or her attorney, sends the signed and completed forms and documents to the NVC which then schedules an appointment for an Immigrant Visa for the RN and her family at the U.S. Consulate or Embassy where they will have their interviews for permanent residence. At this interview, the government will examine various documents including:

a. Applications for Immigrant Visas
b. Police Clearances
c. Birth Certificates
d. Marriage Certificate, if any
e. Divorce or Death Certificate of Spouse, if any
f. Valid Passports
g. Medical Examinations
h. Photographs
i. Recent job offer letter (or employment contract)
j. Financial information regarding employer
k. Government filing fees
l. Visa Screen Certificate


The Visa Screen Certificate requirement was imposed by §343 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA). It added “uncertified health-care workers” to the list of persons who are inadmissible to the U.S. See §212(a) (5) (C), INA.

A Visa Screen Certificate is issued only after the RN has demonstrated that (1) her education, license and training in her country are equivalent to education, licensure and training in the U.S. and that (2) her level of competence in oral and written English are appropriate to practice professional nursing in the U.S.

The CIS regulations provide that the only organization authorized to issue Visa Screen certificates to RNs is the Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS), the organization which is listed in §343. The CGFNS is located at 3600 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA, 19104-2651; telephone: (215) 349-8767; fax: (215) 349-0026; e-mail: support@cgfns.org
The CIS's Visa Screen regulations provide that even if a foreign-born RN is educated, licensed and trained in the U.S., she still must obtain a Visa Screen certificate. However, such RNs may be able to obtain a certificate on a streamlined basis. Obtaining such a certificate requires a significant expenditure of time, effort and money (over $300) on the part of the nurse.
Unless the nurse was educated in an English-speaking country (U.S., Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, United Kingdom or Canada - all provinces except Quebec), she must achieve a certain minimum score on tests in written and spoken English administered by TOEFL (Test Of English As A Foreign Language), IELTS (International English Language Testing Service) or the TOEIC (Test of English in International Communications). Also, if the RN registered for the MELAB (Michigan English Language Assessment Battery) before November 27, 2002, this result may be sent to the CGFNS for Visa Screen purposes.
Passing scores for RNs on English exams are as follows:
IELTS: Academic Module or the General Training Module 6.5, Overall Band Score, 7.0 Speaking

Generally, the process of obtaining permanent residence may take between 12 to 18 months assuming that the immigrant visa quota from the RN’s country of birth is not backlogged. Currently, the quota for RNs is not backlogged.

Temporary Visas for Nurses

Although most RNs do not qualify for temporary working visas, it is possible to obtain temporary visas or work permits for nurses in the following categories:
Trade NAFTA Work Permits (TN Status) - For Canadian and Mexican Citizens Only
U.S. employers may apply for registered nurses who are citizens of Canada and Mexico to work in temporary "TN" status.
They may obtain Trade NAFTA (“TN”) status if:
1. They have an offer of employment from a U.S. employer for a period not to exceed one year;
2. They are licensed in Canada/Mexico and in the state of intended employment;
3. They are in possession of a Visa Screen certificate;
4. They have a proof of Canadian or Mexican citizenship; and
5. They pay a small fee to enter the U.S.
For Canadian citizens, TN status may be renewed on a yearly basis either by having the nurse reenter the U.S. with the documents listed above, or by requesting an extension of TN status from the USCIS.
While RNs who are Canadian citizens may obtain TN status without obtaining a visa or a petition, RNs who are citizens of Mexico must apply for TN visas at a U.S. consulate in Mexico only after their U.S. employers have obtained the approval of a TN petition for them in the U.S.
A TN nurse is not supposed to have any intention of remaining permanently in the U.S. This becomes an issue if a TN nurse decides to apply for permanent residence in the U.S.
H-1B Specialty Occupation Status
Traditionally, RNs have been considered “professionals” under U.S. immigration laws. From 1952 to 1989, U.S. employers could hire foreign-born nurses using “H-1” temporary visas. In 1989, the Immigration Nursing Relief Act (INRA) was enacted as a five-year pilot program. INRA provided that only health-care facilities with “attestations” approved by the Labor Department could obtain “H-1A” status to employ nurses on a temporary basis in the U.S. When INRA expired in the mid-1990s, Congress decided not to extend the law since there was no shortage of RNs in the U.S. according to the ANA.
Other occupations which formerly fell within the “H-1” category became part of the new “H-1B” category. The Immigration Act of 1990 provided that only those occupations for which a four-year university degree was a prerequisite for employment could qualify for “H-1B” status. However, in 1991, the “H-1B” category was amended to include certain foreign-born fashion models after extensive lobbying by that industry.
The H-1B category is an ineffective vehicle for most health care facilities who wish to employ RNs since the minimum entry requirement for most staff RN jobs is a two-year associate degree rather than a four-year bachelors’ degree. However, where a facility can justify that a four-year degree (or equivalent) is the minimum entry requirement for a job, such an RN may be granted an H-1B visa. An INS memorandum, dated November 27, 2002, explains the requirements for a registered nurse to obtain H-1B status.
Registered nurses need to be in possession of a Visa Screen certificate in order to obtain H-1B status.

We do hope that this information was helpful to you.

Aerotoxic Syndrome and Frequent Fliers

Good morning to you all.

Do you know the air we breathe on a plane may contain toxic fumes from engines and very little is done to address the issue?

Captain Tristan Loraine, a former British Airways pilot, was told by his doctor that repeated exposure to contaminated air had rendered him unfit to fly. Loraine researched the issue for seven years, which led to the documentary “Welcome aboard Toxic Airlines”. In 2006 he helped form “The Global Cabin Air Quality Executive”, a group that represents 400,000 crew worldwide.

Pilots are increasingly reporting that air polluted by engine fumes is making them ill, and passengers are as susceptible to the ill-effects of the contaminated air in the cabin, says a report in the Telegraph. The article reveals that numerous recent reports filed by pilots refer to incidents of contaminated air on aircraft.

The effect of toxic fumes from engines –called aero-toxic syndrome by medical specialists- puts pilots, cabin crew and passengers at risk. Dr. Mackenzie Ross, a clinical neuro-psychologist at University College, London, after examining Civil Aviation Authority records, estimated that the problem is affecting up to 200,000 passengers each year.

In modern aircraft, the air purification system works this way. At first, air is drawn out of the compression section of the engine and cooled. It then enters the cabin, where it mixes with re-circulated air that has passed through filters designed to remove bacteria and viruses. These filters do not remove any fumes or vapours from the engine. So if engine oil or hydraulic fuel leaks, because of faulty seals or over-filled tanks, toxins can contaminate the air.

This can cause drowsiness, headaches and nausea. At worst, air can be laced with a chemical, tricresyl phosphate, or other toxic mixtures that have been linked to respiratory problems, memory loss, neurological illness and brain damage.

This is not to say there is no way out! There is, but installing the technology that would filter out toxins would cost millions of dollars. Now crew members rely solely on their sense of smell, but contaminated air is often odorless, which makes even the odor filters on an aircraft ineffective. But the tragedy is even the frequent fliers remain unaware of all these prompting many critics to call it “one of the biggest cover-ups in history”.

My sole aim in writing this article is to remind you that at present we ourselves should take some remedial actions such as exposing ourselves to lot of fresh air after a long flight, or do anything that can get our system rid of toxins so that the effects may be less or negligible, at least permanent damages can be avoided.

Now, I can wish all my visitors a very safe and healthy air travel, because now you are more aware of the safety concerns while flying and awareness alone can help us a lot to take precautions. And precaution is always better than cure, (I always insist more on food supplements than medicines.)

Interseted to know more about natural food supplements and products without any chemicals, please feel free to contact me on my email or telephone number.

Some happy new for RNs and PTs

Hi!

As every reader of the “www.therightinfo.blogspot.com” blog is surely aware, the EB3 Visa Bulletin dates just leapt forward, which is great news. Essentially the reason that the DOS did this is because the US fiscal year is nearly half over (the fiscal year runs Oct 1- September 30), and the DOS is concerned that all of the visas will not be used. It was this phenomenon – lack of using all visas – that caused the Visa Gate scandal of 2007. By moving the dates ahead now, instead of waiting for June or July like last year, the DOS hopes to avoid having to over-progress the dates this summer.

By way of background, there are two ways that visas can be claimed -- (i) domestically via the I-485 Adjustment of Status and (ii) internationally via the DOS' Consulate system.(the latter is the system that is used in our case, the RNs and PTs from India, I mean most of them) Ideally the US government wants the visas to be used on a priority date basis, which is to say that it shouldn't matter if the I-140 is filed for an AOS or CP; the approval of the immigrant visa should be the same. ( A reason again why we insist you should look for an agency that does the I-140 filing on your behalf without wasting any time)

The USCIS, which is the agency that works the AOS cases, has likely indicated to the DOS that it cannot process as many cases as necessary. Therefore by moving the dates aggressively ahead, it is allowing the Consulates to use more of the visas (which is good for the PTs and RNs, who have already filed their I-140s and very bad for others who have adopted a wait and see policy!).Note however that Section D of the Visa Bulletin in Section D says that if the USCIS improves its processing of AOS cases, the DOS may re-retrogress the EB3 date. On the other hand if the USCIS continues to be unable to timely process AOS cases, there is a chance sometime this spring for the dates to continue to move forward.

But, we again repeat, as we always did, that none of this reduces or eliminates the need for legislation aimed at curing the retrogression of numbers for Schedule A workers. But we are very optimistic that a very favorable decision is certainly to come out. And are you still having any second thoughts on selecting a proper agency that does not shower you with a lot of freebees, but process your I-140, as early as possible?

Before concluding, we again repeat, start your I-140 as early as possible, because every second counts, and do not be lured by agencies offering freebies, but be wise to see the need of the hour and act accordingly. And always keep in mind “the doors of America may not be always open for everyone”, so we need to make it fast.

We wish you all the best and you are requested to contact us for any clarification or assistance on our email address: therightinformation@gmail.com or you can always use our telephone numbers: o11-22110173 or 9958250569.

IELTS PREPARATION

Hi! This is SAJI ABRAHAM, and today I am talking to you about IELTS examination and preparation.

Before we can go to IELTS, we must know what English is. Or better, we should have a very proper understanding of the two aspects of English Language (any language in that case). A language has two sides. We can think of it as a coin. You see a coin is valuable only when it has both sides printed properly. The same way, English mastery becomes possible only when you have achieved proficiency in both sides of the language, the spoken side and the written side.

But the first ability you should develop is the spoken one. Because you know a child usually learns to speak first and then after years only he begins to learn to write. But in our case, we were taught to write English first, and actually we never thought of the spoken aspect of the language or we always tried to speak English exactly the same way that we write it and there is no wonder why we never achieved proficiency and fluency in the language.

So now I think I can introduce you to IELTS, because we now know it is the ability to speak that should come first and not the ability to write. And you also know that written and spoken English are not the same and not to be confused with. To be clear, if you try to speak in the written way, your English will sound artificial and idiotic.

Now I must tell you what natural talk comes out in. It comes out in idea units and an idea unit is a group of words. And here lies the exact problem why we find it difficult to speak English. Yes, we need proper programs to use these words in a particular order so that we make the desired meaning and impact from our sentences. We need to learn GRAMMAR properly to start speaking in English, since we were not lucky enough to start our talking with English as our Mother tongue or even frequently used language in our homes. So we need to go against the common conception that to speak English we need no grammar and we can simply pass IELTS by mugging up essays and certain commonly taught phrases.

Your first step towards obtaining a high band in IELTS should be to learn grammar thoroughly and then only take the tailor made coaching given by different agencies for IELTS. English language is comparatively easy and actually in my English Language Training Classes all it takes is explaining about 30 rules!

Yes, with just 30 rules you can confidently start using and generating good English. I mean it! You should be able to generate as much English sentences as you need as and when you need it and this is what an examiner is looking in you.

Is there any wonder you feel absolutely confident about your performance and when the result comes you are nowhere near your expected band! The examiner detected the artificial reproduction of sentences and he decided to make you undertake more study of English. This is what is going on happening around us, and after a few attempts we feel let down and we altogether drop the program of appearing ever for IELTS. But what we should have realized was this that we were lacking in basic grammatical knowledge and we actually had no strong foundation of the language.

So what can we do about it? We can do many things, and the first thing is to join an institute or personal coaching centre to get familiarized with English Grammar. I think now many placement agencies are offering such services and you can find one in New Friends Colony if that is near to you. The name is Modi Educare Pvt. Ltd. Other details you can get from Modi Healthcare placements Pvt. Ltd. New Friends Colony. (You should make proper enquiries before joining any such institutes as this is just information only)

The other option is to join my English Classes being offered from my own home and it is at GTB Enclave, Delhi-110093.

The next option is to ask me for an email tutorial, if you have an internet connection at home. Yes, you can really learn to use English as your mother tongue within a few months of time with my system. If interested you can always contact me on my email or telephone number, which are as follows;

Email: therightinformation@gmail.com and our telephone numbers are: o11-22110173 and 9958250569.

So I end this session stressing the need for equipping yourself with good and powerful grammar, and wishing you all the very best in your efforts to clear your IELTS with very good scores.

RETROGRESSION, EB3,VISA BULLETIN

Hi!
Here is everything you always wanted to know about retrogression, EB3 category and Visa Bulletin.

On June 13, 2005, the U.S. Department of State (DOS) released the Visa Bulletin for July 2005. The Visa Bulletin indicates that the Employment-Based 3rd (EB3) Preference Category, including its Other Worker subcategory, will be Unavailable as of July 1, 2005. This means that the DOS temporarily cannot grant immigrant visas and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) cannot approve I-485 Applications to Adjust Status to Permanent Residence for any person in the EB3 category as of July 1, 2005. Following is more information on how long this may last. The only EB3 workers who may be approved will be those who are Schedule “A” workers, due to the 50,000 additional visa numbers that Congress and the President provided to them under law. Schedule A workers generally include nurses and physical therapists

Who Is EB3?
The issue of unavailability of visa numbers relates to green card cases only. It does not limit eligibility for any of the nonimmigrant categories, such as H-1, L-1, J-1, F-1, O-1, B-1 or any other "lettered" status category. There are three affected categories of EB3 workers: persons who have bachelor's degrees (professionals); persons who have at least 2 years of experience in the job offered (skilled workers); and persons who have less than 2 years of experience in the job offered (other workers). In order for a job to fall into one of these categories, one must have the required criteria, and the employer must consider the criteria a minimum requirement for the job. For example, if a person has a master's degree but the employer requires only a bachelor's degree for the job, the petition is considered an EB3 (professional) petition. If one is not sure of the category, s/he may want to check the I-140 receipt notice, if the case has reached that point. The I-140 receipt notice should reflect INA Section 203(b)(3)(i) for EB3 skilled workers, 203(b)(3)(ii) for professionals and 203(b)(3)(iii) for other workers. Otherwise, it may be necessary to ask the attorney who filed the case for the category assigned to the case.
© Exception - Schedule A Workers
A Schedule A case, which includes nurses and physical therapists, is in EB3. This is a special subcategory, however, and is not subject to the unavailability at this time. More information on Schedule A visa number predictions can be found below

1.What Does this Mean for EB3s?

This means that, as of July 1, 2005 and continuing until more visa numbers are available, a person in the EB3 category will not be able to file the I-485 Application for Adjustment of Status nor proceed to issuance of an immigrant visa at a U.S. consulate abroad. A pending I-485 or Consular Processing case in this category will remain pending until a visa number for the case becomes available. A foreign national with an I-485 pending is considered lawfully present in the United States and is permitted to remain in the U.S. pending the case outcome.

2. How Long will the Unavailability Last?

The U.S. government runs on a fiscal year (FY) that is on an October-through-September cycle. Therefore, the first day of the government's fiscal year is always October 1st, and the last day is always September 30th. According to the Visa Bulletin, the visa numbers for the EB3 category have reached their annual limit. This means that they have run out for the current fiscal year and that the visa numbers in the EB3 category, including other workers, will not be available again until October 1, 2005, which is the start of the FY2006.

3. Presently, it is unknown whether the category will be current at that time or if there will be a cut-off date. Current visa numbers are indicated with "C" in the Visa Bulletin. The designation of current means that there are sufficient visa numbers for everyone, no matter what the priority date of the case. When there are limited visa numbers available, the DOS establishes cut-off dates. This means that there are enough visa numbers only for those cases filed before the cut-off date. Now we, the healthcare workers are in this group, whom only limited visa numbers are available. These dates appear in the Visa Bulletin each month. Often cut-off dates are established for certain countries with high levels of immigration. No country is allowed to use more than 7% of the total visa numbers for the year. Therefore, availability may be limited depending upon one's country of origin. The countries typically affected are India, mainland China, and the Philippines in the employment-based categories, and sometimes the Philippines and Mexico in family-based categories.

4. Thus, this problem will last at least until October 1, 2005. Prior to this, the visa numbers in the EB3 category had established cut-off dates in the other worker category for all countries and in the professional / skilled worker categories for persons from India, mainland China, and the Philippines

5. If any eligible person, whose priority date is current as of mid-June 2005 in the EB3 category, has delayed processing an I-485 application, it is best to file prior to July 1, 2005. Otherwise, the earliest possible date that the case could be filed would be October 1, 2005. As explained above, however, there is no guarantee that the cut-off dates will permit filing even on October 1, 2005, for all EB3 cases, since a cut-off date could likely be established at that time

6. If an I-485 is pending when visa numbers retrogress or become unavailable; the I-485 will not be fully processed until the visa numbers are available for that case's priority date. The person may file for Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) and Advance Paroles (APs) as needed only while the I-485 is pending, however.

7. Spouses / children
A derivative spouse and the child/children in employment-based green card cases are assigned the same category and priority date as the primary beneficiary. Their cases follow the same rule requiring visa availability at the time of filing. This creates a variety of problematic situations when the cases for an entire family are not or cannot be filed at the same time. If the spouse and/or child/children have not filed the I-485, but are in the U.S. and are eligible to do so, they should file while they can. A spouse who is outside the U.S. and unable to proceed with her/his green card case before July 1, 2005, may have to spend more time abroad than anticipated. Anyone with questions about how this matter will affect his or her family should consult with a qualified immigration attorney.

8.EB2 Category Still Current

The employment-based second preference (EB2) numbers remain current for July 2005. There has been concern, however, that the EB2 category may retrogress before the end of the fiscal year. Therefore, persons in the EB2 category should not assume that there is plenty of time to file the I-485 application. They are at least eligible during the month of July 2005. If the case has reached the point where filing is permitted, it is best to take advantage of this fact in most situations and file the case in July 2005.© Schedule A Workers Safe for Some Time
For Schedule A Workers, the DOS plans to take visa numbers from the appropriate category, usually EB3, when they are available. If the numbers have retrogressed either to a point before a particular Schedule A worker's priority date, or have become unavailable, the DOS will provide one of the 50,000 specially-allocated visa numbers for that person. Since the EB3 numbers are unavailable until October 1, 2005, any immigrant visas or I-485 approvals from July 1, 2005 until October 1, 2005 will be counted against the 50,000 limit. The DOS does not expect that these numbers will be exhausted in the foreseeable future.

9. Retrogression Only Impacts Filing the I-485 / Obtaining the IV

The problem discussed above only impacts the final stage of the green card case, filing the I-485 or obtaining the I-485 approval, or obtaining the immigrant visa (IV) at the consulate abroad. It does not affect the ability to start the case and obtain approval of the labor certification and I-140 petition. Thus, RETROGRESSION is not a reason to delay starting a green card case. To the contrary, as priority dates have become vitally important once again, the earlier filing date is likely to be quite beneficial in the ultimate timing and processing of a case.

10. Conclusion
Understanding this issue is now crucial to understanding green card procedures and timing, as well as other strategic immigration matters. So we advice you all and especially those nurses who are in the process of choosing a right agency, to see that the agency takes all care to file your I-140s the moment you join them, if you already have Nclex and IELTS or CGFNS.
We recommend you to select an agency that offers no freebees but starts your process right away. Delay even for a day can mean availability or non availability of visa for you, then why should you take the risk of losing your chance to enter the states as early as possible!
Also always, wait to join an agency till you have cleared your IELTS and NCLEX as joining an agency without these qualifications can give them ample opportunities to exploit you or delay your process. Also keep in mind it is not a legal practice for any agency to demand your original certificates as no process related to your immigration program under EB3 category requires any original certificates. If asked for your original certificates by an agency it will just be for the purpose of intimidating you at a later time, detaining your originals and demanding exorbitant amounts of money for release of the same.
For God’s sake, please do not give your SSLC/SSC or original Nursing certificates and Passport to any agency because getting duplicates is not a simple issue. You can always get additional copies of your IELTS or Nclex certificates. But to be safe, do not entertain demands for your original certificates from recruiting agencies.
So, we again say, retrogression is not a reason to delay your green card case, but on the contrary a good reason to start your case as early as possible. For any clarification on this issue you can always contact us on our email: therightinformation@gmail.com or our telephone number: 011-22110173 and we will certainly be happy to help you in all possible ways. Keep visiting our website and you will never be ignorant of any issues regarding your immigration process.

As expected, dear friends, some EB categories greatly moved forward. That is Visa processing is now available for all other countries and the Philippines, who filed prior to January 1, 2005. It is great indeed, that the Visa processing, that was thought to be dead and rumored to continue to be dead till 2010 at least, is proved wrong.

We repeat what we always said, America needs us, at least till the nursing graduation program which is in full steam produces its first bunch of nursing graduates, we will be in demand, and America can’t do without RNs from outside. Of course the nursing program, that offers every nursing student scholarships and financial assistance, is found to be a great success and it may be just a matter of time before America met its demands for RNs for all her hospitals. Which makes us to urge you all to start your immigration process without delay. Of course, what you need first and foremost is a reliable and reputed agency and we will in our coming interactions tell you about the most desirable ones. Keep on visiting our site for all kind of assistance and information on American Immigration for healthcare professionals.

We just heard that the DOS's Visa Bulletin in either March or April will aggressively promote many EB categories including EB3. And we know it is a very happy news indeed, but wait we can't be so happy now! Though this movement is highly welcomed, it does not take away the urgency that a Schedule A visa bill is passed.
