US work visas for nurses

[lumiktu1]

My girlfriend in currently in process of trying to get her nursing license for here in the United States. There's a message saying they aren't allowing nurses in. But from my understanding this is for people seeking permanent residency. We are just looking for her to get a two year contract. Is that still doable? Am I understanding it right that it's only certain visas. She's from the Philippines if that matters.

Since your girlfriend is from the Philippines, she might look into the H-1B or TN visa if she's got a degree. Have you guys checked with a lawyer or her recruiter to see if you're on the right track?

It sounds like your girlfriend might be dealing with the confusion around visa types, which is pretty common. My aunt went through something similar when she came here from the Philippines. From what I’ve seen, if she’s looking for a two-year contract, it’s usually a different process than seeking permanent residency. It’s mostly about the visa type—H-1B might be an option, depending on the job. It could be worth checking out resources they have some solid info that might help her figure out the best path forward.

Your understanding is mostly correct.
