FIANCEE NURSE

[RN2B 0]

Hi Vjers,

I am new here. I did a searched but couldn't find a related topic about my concerns.

I already sent my K1 application last April 6, 2013 via fed ex and says it will be in USCIS on Tues. I am a Fil-American citizen and just had my oath last apr 5. After I gathered all the necessary requirements for K1 I sent my application the day after I got my naturalization certificate.

I had few concerns about our situation as K1 filers. My fiancee is a RN in Philippines. Not working since 2011 after working 3 years in middle east (stay in Philippines since 2011). He has I-140 application in one of the nursing home in New York which her employer said that they didn't push through because of some lacking requirements (NCLEX-RN licence). When her Aunt got a severe illness in the US she attempted to apply for a tourist visa twice and got denied twice. Does having an immigrant petition (I-140) and twice denial of tourist visa could raise a red flag for our K1 application.

Also, is there any nurses here from Philippines required to pass the NCLEX or been ask by the immigration officer about passing the nclex and got denied for not passing the exam?. Me and my fiancee plans to take it when she arrives here. I am very anxious now. Hope you guys could answer my query.

God bless us all!

Tourist visa denial has nothing to do with K1 (two different processes) Although if asked if previously applied for any type of visa, should be answered honestly.

Good luck on your journey!

NOT passing the NCLEX exam will also not affect your k1 petition.

No need to worry if he got denied on the tourist visas and if he isn't a a USRN upon application of K1.

I am also planning to take my NCLEX when I get to the US after getting the coveted NOA2 and visa by September. My fiance is also a Fil-American.

Red flags will be like a relative introducing the two of you or K1 visa applied multiple times for your fiance by different people. Things that would note something fishy about the relationship. If it is not related to your relationship then it shouldn't be a problem.

You don't need to pass the NCLEX-RN in order to get a K-1 visa.

As a side note, I'm not sure if there are any states left which will allow a foreigner to sit for the NCLEX-RN unless they have a Social Security number.

@pigmonk, thank you! I am hoping for that...because I had read in some forums that also applied for a K1 and a nurse too wasn't able to passed the interview. But we hope it is different in our case though.

Thank you emmandenn...we are praying for that. Where are you in Phils and which state you will be applying for. My fiancee is telling me that it is hard nowadays to apply for NCLEX-RN exam especially most of the states now requiring a SSN. I assume you just sent your packet too..God luck for us!

@Tahoma...thank you!

How about the I-140 application?..Do we need to cancel it or just leave it?.

Chinook is a nurse and she had no problem getting her K-1 visa. Chinook's friend is also a nurse and she had no problem getting a K-1 visa. There have been many Pinay nurses here on VJ who had no problem getting their K-1 visas. I believe that being a nurse may be an advantage for you because the consular officers at the U.S. Embassy Manila know that you won't become a public charge in the U.S.

How about the I-140 application?..Do we need to cancel it or just leave it?.

I don't know whether you should cancel it or not. I don't think it will interfere with your K-1 process. However, you probably don't need it since you will coming to the U.S., passing the NCLEX-RN, and getting a job.
