Guess it depends on where you want to end up at. I always look for USA educated becuase that is where I live.

Should i Stay here in USA to get my AS degree in nursing (RN) or is it better for me to go to the Philippines?
At this point of my life i am a little confused in what decision i should make. Should i stay here in the US and become an RN or should i go back to the philippines and become an RN? How long would it take me to become an RN in the philippines vs how long it would take to become one here in the US? I am not asking for BSN. Serious Answers please. this is a very big decision for me since going to Phils will have many sacrifices to make.

Depending where you are staying will be the big factor in your decision. In the Philippines, there will be a lot more sickness there then there is here due to poor living conditions. You will probably be under more stress while nursing there then you are here and will probably benefit you more.
2 :
A nursing degree in the Philippines may not be accepted in the U.S. If you are planning on living and working in the U.S. after getting your degree, I would suggest going to a community college here. It will take about two years of full-time study to earn your associate's degree in nursing. Once you have the degree, you will be eligible to sit for the NCLEX exam. If you pass, you will be a registered nurse and will be able to work at hospitals and clinics in the state where you are registered.

I believe so but I hear you need to apply by April 2 in case they run out. They ran out in May last year and June graduates had to scramble into unpaid internship visas and such to tread water until more were available. So they are expected to go fast. go to uscis.gov
2 :
You need a bachelor's degree to get an H1. If you have the equivalent of a bachelor's degree with studies from your country and the associates degree here, then you can, but you need to get all your studies evaluated to see if they add up to a bachelors degree.
3 :
Yes, it is possible. Many do that.
