Eb3 visa interview experience for rn

[tsarah321 5]

Hi everyone, 

I am sharing my visa interview experience for anyone out there who is anxious. I am a new graduate  RN without any experience at all. I have US rn license and sponsor etc... so finally after nvc and everthng i made it to the interview today at the embassy . So for everyone who is wondering about EXperience: It doesnt matter ! As long as u hv recent employment contract and job offer ul be fine. However u need to show the officer that u have actually contactrd ur employer or hospital or clinic u will be working in.  The officer wants to know u actually spoke to them . For me she asked me " did u do interview with ur employer " since im nt in the states i said no . So she asked me if i ever spoke to him ... i said yes over the phone.she asked details about the convesr. And so she considered  it as interview. I dont wana scare anyone... but u should know they do ask questions. Its not 1,2,3   . At least for me it wasnt. I am ready to answer sny question . Feel free to inbox me. I hope this helps.sorry fot the long post but i know when i was waiting for my interview i would have killed for info!

Congratulations on your job and your choice as Nursing as a career.  As a retired RN, myself, I can tell you that it is a very, very rewarding life.

I am so grateful right now for your post. This kind of information is so hard to find. CONGRATULATIONS! I'm  very happy for you.  Can you pls PM more info about the questions she asked at the interview. 

Thank you,  and best wishes for your new life in USA.

My wife came here on a marriage visa, not an employment visa, but she had to re-certify as a nurse in the US by taking some local certification education. One thing we wondered about was how employable she would be once she received her certifications because: 1) she had no US employment history, and 2) the last 4 years in her home country she had stopped working as a nurse.  But once she started applying for positions, about 7 applications total, she almost immediately received 2 job offers. It seems that her employment history was far less important than her recent certifications.

 

Good luck on your new life and career in the US.

i am gona post the questions here if its okey so that everyone can read. first u should know that my case is a bit complicated coz i was born in lebanon but i am croatian... so many questions revolved around why i dont have lebanese nationaility and why i lived in croatia and etc... so im guessing these questions dont apply to others. however the questions that i think everyone will get are similar  to this

1- how did u meet ur employer ( in my case my brothers lives in new york and his wife is an rn and her boss knows the guy who sponsored me so i got lucky)

2- did u have an interview ( THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT . FIRST I answered no obviously becoz im not in the states. the officer asked me again if i ever spoke to him. luckily i did speak to him thru video cal on watsap once. so i said actually i did. then she wanted details of the conversation. i told her he wanted to know my qualifications and my level of english language etc.... so to the officer this was the interview. ALSO VERY IMPORTANT TO TELL THE OFFICER THAT THE CALL WAS RECENT.she asked when did i talk to him i said less then a month ago. i understand some pleople wait fro visa for 8 years. but u cant tell the officer that u did ur itnerview 5 years ago. i think that wont stand . )

3- questions about education . how did i get my US license. in my case i studied in an america university so it was pretty easy to do the nclex witohut the hastle of cgfns and all this so i told her.

no questions about experience. 

my personal feelings about the interview... i must admit during the interview i was freaking out . i didnt expect such detailed questions. i felt it was over. especially when she stops talking and starts typing and u need to w there not knowing whats going on . but what got me approved was honesty. even though i got many questions i didnt lie about anything at all and i think even though she could sense i was wrried about being rejected she could see in my answers that i didnt lie about anything. 

sorry for the long post. please share with everyone who needs it. i wish best of luck to any person wh is going thru us immigration process.. i am flying in two days. finally its over. and also excuse me for the typing mistakes

Hi, this post really made my anxiety much better. I do not have any hospital or any nursing experience at all since i had my local (Philippines) license back in 2010. For the past few days, I'm in constant worry that my lack of experience will be a problem for my visa interview in a few days...

Congrats for your rewarding.

Your life is changing now. May I ask are you an ADN RN or BSN RN. I Heard that they don't do eb3 for ADN, RN anymore. Is it correct? if you were an ADN, RN. Can you tell me the agency that you chose. thank you and goodluck.

I had my Eb3 Immigrant Interview last year in Dublin, Ireland. I am from Philippines but my Interview was in Dublin. Everything went well except for my Birth Certificate that was not readable. I was put on Administrative Processing for weeks and eventually issued Visa on August 2018. Landed in US on October 2018 and officially working as Full Time RN.
