Are you a Canadian registered nurse working in the United States on Trade NAFTA
status? If so, our Green Card program offers you an opportunity to become a
lawful permanent resident of the United States by working with Preferred
Healthcare Staffing.
A TN visa is temporary in nature, valid for only one
year and is employer specific. This means you are restricted to work for a
specified employer and no other company. Additionally, if your spouse
accompanies you, he or she is not authorized to work in the United States.
In contrast, a Green Card allows you to live and work in the United States for
a 10-year period. As a permanent resident, you can eventually qualify for U.S.
citizenship. As your dependents, your spouse and unmarried children under the
age of 21 are eligible to apply for Green Cards as well.

-
You must have a nursing diploma or BSN and a registered nurse license in the
United States or in your home country.

assignments with Preferred Healthcare Staffing.

| The processing time varies based upon the area of the
United States where you will work and the region where you file your petition.
The entire process is likely to take between 24 and 36 months.
|
| One of the great benefits of the Green Card program is
that your spouse and dependent children under age 21 may qualify to emigrate
with you to the United States.
|
Preferred Healthcare will pay attorney fees and
related expenses for the filing of your employment-based Green Card, including
the cost of an employment authorization document and one travel document. You
will be responsible for the payment of Green Card applications for your spouse
and/or minor children, as well as any extraordinary expenses should your case
include complications requiring additional attorney attention.
We do not require payment from you for the ordinary legal fees and costs
related to the filing of your Green Card petition, provided you work the
minimum number of hours for us, as outlined in your contract letter. If you
leave before completing the specified hours, you will be responsible for
reimbursing your Green Card-related costs, based on the remaining hours you
have not worked.

-
Contact Preferred Healthcare as soon as possible and ask for the immigration
coordinator to send you an information packet and program questionnaire.

Our company attorneys will review your questionnaire to determine if you have
the necessary qualifications for participation in the Green Card program.
