1
Sign the Placement Agreement
The registered nurse (RN) will send the required documents indicated in the Placement Agreement checklist to our New York office. Some documents can be scanned and sent via email.
2
I-140 Processing
Our New York office will review the original documents and forward them to our immigration attorney for I-140 processing.
3
Fill up documentation
The immigration attorney will review the documents and send a questionnaire documentation to the applicant. The RN should fill up the Docketwise document online and return it to the immigration attorney.
4
USCIS I-140 Filing
Once the document review is complete, the immigration attorney will send it to the petitioner for signature as required prior to filing USCIS I-140.
5
Premium Processing
Upon receipt of the documents, the immigration lawyer will file USCIS I-140 via Premium Processing, which initiates a 15-day expedited processing period. A Notice of Approval will be sent within 15 days.
6
USCIS Notice of Receipt or RFE
USCIS may provide a Notice of Receipt with the priority date or issue a Request for Evidence (RFE). An RFE does not indicate a denial; it means the USCIS officer needs more information or documents before making a decision.
7
Notice of Approval
USCIS will transmit the file to the National Visa Center and send the Visa Fee Bill for further processing. This process typically takes one to three months. GlobalCare covers the Visa Fee Bill for single applicants, while applicants with dependents should pay $345 per dependent.
8
Complete DS260 Questionnaire
The applicant should complete the DS260 questionnaire along with all the civil documents indicated on our checklist. With the Visa Fee Bill, the immigration attorney will submit all the documents to the National Visa Center. GlobalCare Services assists applicants in completing the DS260 form.
9
DQ and Consular Interview Date
The applicant will receive a DQ (Documentarily Qualified) notice and a consular interview date. GlobalCare Services will arrange a Zoom preparation planning session with USRN and maintain close communication during this preparation.
10
Consular Interview Prep
GlobalCare Services will conduct a comprehensive Zoom preparation session with the applicant and USRN to ensure they are well-prepared for the consular interview.
11
Visa Approval
Once the applicant receives visa approval from the US Embassy, GlobalCare Services will assist in planning their arrival and ensure they arrive in the US within the visa validity period. Suitable housing options will be discussed in advance for a smooth settlement upon arrival.
12
Welcome to the USA
Our dedicated team will personally pick up the nurse from the airport and assist them in reaching their designated hotel or apartment. We provide support in obtaining a social security number, establishing a bank account, and completing various essential tasks to help them settle smoothly in the USA.
