My Fiance' is a Nurse in Ukraine. How can I get her a work Visa to obtain a nursing job here in the USA?
My
Fiance', whom I met while on deployment to Ukraine with the Marine
Corps (not via a mail bride service), is a Nurse in Ukraine. How can I
get her an work Visa to obtain a nursing job here in the USA? I know
there is a shortage of nurses here in the USA, and we both want her to
be here. How do we do it, and who do we need to contact...I live in
Atlanta, Georgia. Thanks

The
only way she can work in the U.S.is to have a contract with a specific
comoany for a specific period of time...OR to apply to immigrate. You
may want to explore getting a fiance visa for her. See sites below.

If she is your fiancee I think it's better to apply for Visa K1

I
believe that before being able to participate in nurse programs she
should pass several exams because medical systems in Ukraine and US are
different.
Here's information (in Russian) what exams she should pass, the
information is for russian citizens but i don't think there's difference
with ukranians in this process.

A nurse should pass 3 exams:
1. TOEFL or IELTS (for the level of english)
2. Medical qualifying examination CGFNS
3. Medical examination NCLEX for obtaining the american license
The whole immigration procedure after passing the exams takes app.6-12
months.
Here is the information about this process in Ukraine (Kiev)

The exams are the same
I don't think it's easy and in any way K-1 visa (fiancee visa) will
allow you to be together sooner.

To reduce time and
aggravation and, ultimately, cost, you should hire an immigration
attorney. The one that I recommend (and am using) is Holmes and Lolly
