FOCUS CARE will be your Employer in the US, and your petitioner for green card processing. Once a foreign-trained nurse clears NCLEX-RN and IELTS with an overall band of 6.5 we will commence your Green Card Processing.

It is advisable that all foreign-trained nurses seeking employment in the US travel to the US on Green Card. Green Card or Permanent Resident Card enables a nurse's spouse and unmarried children up to 21 years of age to also qualify for Green Card. Technically, all Green Card holders can seek gainful employment in the US and hence his/her spouse too can commence work without waiting for any work permits.

The broad outline of green card processing is as described below:

>  
Formal Application with supporting documents and fee to be submitted at the USCIS
>  
Case gets transferred to the National Visa Center in the US for further processing and various forms and applications are exchanged with the concerned authority.
>   Official transfer of case from the NVC to the local US Consulate in your state/country
>   This is followed by visa stamping depending on Priority.
