Hello everyone,
My NIW application is now denied and I'm in the process of appealing or reapplication. Problem is my h1b expires this coming Oct. So, we need to do somthing quickly. If I appeal, it would take more than 6 months.
My wife and I talked about this green card application a lot. My wife is a licensed nurse (active) to practice in NY and Ohio and she is not working now (her hand is tight with two babies). We're seriouly thinking of getting a green card through my wife.
One of the problems is she did not take Toefl yet (she said it became very difficult because it changed to the IBT format), but she passed the NCLEX exam about 4 years ago. We were told that she could get a job with her license in the US (and without the CGNF's approval), but to get a green card she is required to have a Visascreen Certificate. We were told that a Visascreen certificate is required for I-485.
Anyone knows how long it would take to get an EAD card & I-140 after she lands in job? Also, how soon she needs to submit the Toefl score to CGFNS after I-140 and EAD card approval? I heard that the immigration asks for the toefl score sometime after EAC & I-140 and we need to respond to that within 3 months.
I would really appreciate if anyone has comments or suggestions for us. Thanks.
James
