Our law firm has immigrated more registered nurses (over 10,000) to the United States than any other law firm in the country. We hope that this page demystifies the process of immigration for nurses, their employers and nurse recruiters.

We provide numerous articles and links which explain how to submit a visa petition to employ a foreign-born registered nurse, discuss the often-confusing "VisaScreen" requirements which include credentialing and English-language proficiency, and enable readers to contact nurse licensing boards.

Finally, since we represent over 100 hospitals in various states across the U.S., we offer a free service to both our hospital and nurse clients. We help place RNs in hospitals that we represent. Many of these hospitals pay part or all of our legal fees. The result is that hospitals are able to obtain the services of a foreign-born, U.S.-licensed nurse without paying a recruitment fee, and the nurse is able to obtain a job and a green card without paying a recruiter, and often, without paying any legal fees.

"I needed a law office to help me obtain my green card visa to be able to work as an RN in the US. The paralegal assigned to me was Anna Cruz who has been really helpful every step of the way. I was able to get my green card in less than six months after my hospital filed for petition. I am forever grateful for all the assistance."
