Opening problem
The U.S. process feels confusing on purpose. Guidance is scattered, rules change by state, and agencies won’t answer until you sign.
You don’t need more opinions. You need verified, neutral answers and a clear plan that fits your credentials
and timeline.
Reframe
Once you see the full pathway end to end, decisions get simple.
This ebook lays out the exact steps, the common traps, and the timing that actually works so you can move forward with confidence.
What you’ll be able to do     Â
- Choose the right pathway with confidence: which roles get sponsorship, EB‑3 vs H‑1B vs TN and when each makes sense.
- Map your licensing route: education equivalency, English options, CGFNS/TruMerit vs CES, state BON selection, NCLEX, VisaScreen timing.
- Avoid rejection traps: diploma acceptance, SSN requirements by state, midwife and specialty nurse routes, top‑up and bridging decisions.
- Set real expectations: salaries, demand hotspots, cost of living, relocation costs, what employers cover vs you, reimbursement models.
- Plan your timeline: retrogression, realistic processing times, compact state strategy, and how to keep momentum if something changes.
- Protect your family plan: spouse work options, schooling and childcare, lifestyle trade‑offs by state.
