can i work out of state

[Dave&Roza 748]

Thank you David and Zoila for the reply. This is the reason why I posted a question here to ask for an opinion. If you have a good job offer you will think about it and definitely ask for some opinions to others who might have ideas about it. As a wife you would want to help your husband, think of things that could help. Nobody wants to be far away with their loved ones, but if this will help you, one must make a sacrifice even for a short time. Like I said, California is now strict with foreign nurses, they require a foreign nurse to study again to become a RN here. If I go back to school here, it would be another expenses that we will think. I would rather use the money for the needs of my daughter and also our needs. I'm already a licensed RN in Florida, no need for me to study again. My husband doesn't want the idea but this is an open option to him because he totally understands that it is my dream to work as a nurse.

Families have to make this choice all too often when both adults have careers. I normally would say you live your life and as long as you can explain it to the USCIS do what you think is best, however; given that there is a child involved, I would say to break up the family for a job would be seen as visa fraud and your ROC will be very hard unless this seperation is for a very short--6 months max--time period while you get the new job in FL and your husband looks for a new position within the USPS.

It would appear to me that the two of you need to sit down and have a long discussion as to what to do in regards to your career and his career and what is in the best interest for the both of you. This includes how such decisions will impact the next phase of your immigration process.

Good luck,

Dave

Irah,

Oh and by the way. This applies to husbands as well as wives. I am not a male chauvenist.(sp?) A husband should equally consider what his wife desires. Perhaps your husband can transfer to a post office in Florida? If my wife had just arrived from the Philippines and told me she wanted to move a few thousand miles away from me I know I would be devastated. I understand you because my wife is also from the Philippines. It's just that here in the US it might not be considered reasonable for a spouse, husband or wife, to move all the way across the country shortly after arriving in the US to get a job. I never said that you would be denied ROC, just that there might be some suspicion on the part of the person reviewing your papers. I wish you both the best of luck. GOD Bless

My husband doesn't want this idea. I posted this question to seek for an advice. He is open to this option of letting me work in Florida, but he is asking to wait for 3 years before deciding into it. If I still want to pursue being a nurse after 3 years, he will let me go and work for about a year. He is willing to transfer but I don't want to give up his life here. I just want to use my license for about a year, so it won't turn out into nothing,

For now, I will be looking for work here in California.. and we'll see what happens after 3 years.

Thank you Dave.

That sounds like a good idea. I wish you both the best. Like I said I would be devastated if my wife who has been here with me for just 3 months now told me she wanted to move out of state to work. Yes, there are cultural differences here. I know in Philippines it is not so uncommon for spouse to go to Singapore or other countries to work but it is not so common here. God Bless and I hope it all works out for you.

Hey one more thing. Maybe you could look into taking the necessary courses in California to become a licensed nurse there since you will be there for the next three years> Just a thought.
