She already graduated from school of nursing (like 3 years ago) and has her Nigerian license. She is studying for her BSc. I sent you a pm.

Is she working right now ? She can migrate to USA, school of nursing diploma and registration with board of nursing in Nigeria is enough to start her immigration process .

Good morning everyone! Please I have a question. I am strongly interested in migrating to the US. I am a graduate. If my PhD applications are successful I will be traveling next year on F 1 visa. My fiancee is studying nursing. What is the best/easiest/legal way to migrate with her so she can work as a nurse? She can't work with F-2 visa while I am on F-1

Hello. Your wife must be finish her program as a registered nurse in Nigeria and work for at least one year before she can migrate to USA. She can work as a nurse in the USA but the process takes about 1 to 2.5 years. My wife was also a nurse in Nigeria before we migrated to the USA. I was studying on FI and she was on F2 visa. We adjusted our status to green card holder while I am still studying. Any bonafide nurse from Nigeria can migrate and work in the USA as a registered nurse. She would need to evaluate her credential with CGFNS and take the Nclex exam. Then, look for an agency or hospital to sponsor her adjustment of status and green card. If you need more clarification, let me know.
