Many Registered Nurses have lost out on excellent opportunities because of their concern that immigration is far too complicated and does not justify the time or cost of relocating ...

 FOREIGN TRAINED REGISTERED NURSES
Luckily this is not the case. Our experienced, internationally trained employment specialists help find you your ideal position, negotiate your salary and benefits package on your behalf and assist you through your entire relocation and immigration process. After you commence your new job, we are always available to attend to any queries or concerns that you may have.

Once an offer is accepted by a candidate, a
 Medi-Search employment specialist will work closely with you in order to complete your paperwork which will allow you to commence employment as soon as possible. Medi-Search will take care of all of the immigration and visa process and assist you in licensing in the state of your intended employment. We area committed to   working very closely with you to ensure a smooth recruitment process.
 

Working in the U.S.A. is an exciting option, but before you can actually commence employment there are number of steps which need to be taken. Fortunately our trained Medi-Search employment & immigration specialists are here to help you through the process.

Below is a brief summary of what to expect:

STEP ONE - FINDING THE JOB THAT IS RIGHT FOR YOU

We will discuss your needs with you and match them to a facility in search of someone like you. We will then set up telephonic interviews and once you receive a job offer, will negotiate the best possible salary and relocation package on your behalf. You will usually be required to sign a minimum one year work agreement, two years if employment involves Green Card processing.
 

 STEP TWO - LICENSING

Foreign trained nurses are required to enroll to take the U.S. nursing examination (NCLEX) to be licensed to practice nursing in the United States. When you arrive to the U.S., if you have not yet successfully taken the NCLEX then you will have temporary work authorization.. We will organize the process for you and assist with the relevant paperwork to complete the process. For those who have yet to take the NCLEX, we strongly recommend you start your review while you wait for your visa issuance.
 

 STEP THREE - VISAS & IMMIGRATION

Non-US. citizens require a working visa,  which is done through INS - Immigration and Naturalization Services.  Medi-Search arranges this with the facility, immigration specialists and attorneys. Processing times vary due to the rampant and volatile changes occurring at U.S. Department of Immigration. However our immigration specialists and attorneys are constantly monitoring the trends and changes .

The time frame between accepting the job and actually starting your new position depends again on the current status at the INS, on the type of visa you are being petitioned for and in the case of an immigrant visa, your country of origin. Although the wait can be frustrating for both the candidate and the employee, patience is definitely a virtue at this time, and the end result is certainly worth the time and effort. It is strongly recommended that applicant's not be discouraged by any delays. With our team of immigration attorneys, and as long as you meet our criteria and we has an employer willing to sponsor you for employment, our team of immigration attorneys can secure a visa for you.

 STEP FOUR - VISA ISSUANCE and TRAVEL ISSUES

Upon notification from the U.S. Embassy that they are ready to process your visa and schedule your interview, please contact our offices immediately so that we and the sponsoring facility can provide you with all the necessary guidance for a successful interview.

You will be met at the airport by either a Medi-Search staff member and/or by a representative of the sponsoring facility. All details regarding this meeting, temporary/permanent housing, the securement of a Social Security number and all other information required for a smooth transition will be discussed in full detail prior to your arrival to the U.S.

 STEP FIVE - WELCOME to the UNITED STATES

You will be given ample time to rest and organize yourself prior to commencing your new employment. During this time, you will be securing your Social Security card, undergoing any necessary pre-employment physicals, an orientation with the facility as well as familiarizing  you with your new community.

A Final thought....


To ensure the paperwork is processed effectively we need to work as a team. Please gather your documents and complete the paperwork with a sense of urgency as the longer it takes to submit the applications to the necessary officials, the longer you have to wait to start your new position. Do not hesitate to contact us with any queries you may have at any time during the process.

We look forward to welcoming you into our growing family of medical professionals and working with you in a successful placement in the United States.
