@ crazynep....If she is Australian citizen then she can come to USA and work on E3 visa...which i did not realise...i was thinking she might be also in student visa in australia...Again E3 visa is valid for only 2 years with no further extension...and under E3 visa you can not apply for the green card. Thats why they give you E3 visa.........That means after 2 years you will have to return back to Australia...

Nothing has been changed in any state for Neplease citizen.....You have heard of neplease people working as a nurse which is completely FALSE....As i said under current situation the only options for th neplease nurse to work in US are GREEN CARD or L2 or OPT...NOTHING ELSE EXCEPT THESE...
As i said nobody will sponsor you for the greencard rightnow...Because there is no visa for foreign nurses.....if your spouse is in L1 visa then you can get work authorization under L2 and if you have nobody then go to school and get OPT card. Thats all......
I am telling you from my personal experience....I came here as a dependent in 2006.....Looked at all the options....Nothing worked out ...eventually i went for masters in nursing....I graduated and rightnow i am working in OPT which is expiring in August...After August i am migrating to Canada.

So please do some research before you take any action....DO NOT DO ANYTHING AS CRAZYNEP IS SAYING....YOU WILL REGRET...IF YOU HAVE BETTER JOB THERE,JUST WORK THERE........IT IS NOT GOOD TIME FOR THE FOREIGN NURSES IN US..IF YOU CAN NOT WORK THEN WHY YOU WANT TO SPEND MONEY AND EFFORT IN LICENSING....
