Immigration Lawyers for Nurses in Phoenix, AZ

immigration for nurses

If you are an experienced nurse, your degree and experience could provide you with a path to citizenship in the United States. Nursing is one of the most sought after professions in this country, and there are a number options available when it comes to seeking a green card. 

You could have more than one option when it comes to obtaining a green card as a nurse. You might be eligible for an EB3 visa, which is the most common form of visa sought by nurses. If you have an advanced degree, you might also qualify for an H1B visa. Finally, nurses from Canada or Mexico could also qualify for a TN visa, which is a type of visa that is limited to nurses living in specific countries. 

It is important to remember that you must meet certain requirements for any of these green card options. Before we can help, you will need to have taken and passed the NCLEX-RN exam. Additionally, you will need at least one year of bedside experience as a nurse.
