 I have a 10-year multiple visitor’s visa, valid up until 2008.  Last year, I went on a vacation to America.  A few months after my arrival, I found an employer who had a job opening, and was willing to file an H-1B petition for me (temporary working visa for college graduates, for a job requiring that degree).  I also applied for "change of status" from "visitor" to "worker", which was approved, and I started working in that job position.

                    [Summary] => Dear Atty. Gurfinkel:


I am a nurse in the Philippines and would like to immigrate to America.  I saw a newspaper ad claiming that greencards were available for caregivers in only a few months.  I called and I was told that I needed to enroll in their company’s "caregiver school", after which I would be given a certificate, confirming that I am a qualified caregiver.  The person also said they have an office in the US which would petition me, with an assurance that my visa will be issued in only three to four months.  Is that possible?
