just tell me is her husband is in student visa (f1)?if he is in f1 , to bring his wife in his dependent (f2) he must show the strong financial stability...if he can't show that then it will be very hard to bring his wife as his dependent......and another thing since how long has they been married ?if he is recently married and if he is in student status and cannot show strong financial stability to the ambassy then my suggestion is let your friend to try in student visa and don't let the ambassy know that she is married and her husband is in US...if they know then there may be the problem ...........just think to start working in USA your friend should pass the licensing exam after validating her certificate by board of nursing of the state she wanted to work and if she wants to work other than the state she has the license from then she has to endorse the license that state.....after getting the license she has to search the hospital which will sponser her for her work permit ,I-140 & I-485...& after you get your work permit you can work in the hospital which sponser you...as an RN bcoz 2 year BN is not considerd as BSN here .....in order to get the degree equivalent to BSN of USA your friend need to complete total 16 years of study and with BN it is total 15 years .......so 2 years BN holder should study equal to what the 3 years IN holder will study to get there BSN degree from USA......these are all the information which i know ...if u have further questions ..please email me
