1.) Is it true that nurses do not need to undergo Labor Certification when applying for an immigrant visa because nurses are considered as shortage occupations? How does the labor certification process for nurses vs other professionals/workers differ? Is it the pre-certification and recruiting process (that does have to be completed) under PERM?
2.) If a nurse on H1B visa is petitioned by her current employer for green card, which is preferable (in terms of better chances of being approved, easier processing, lesser requirements): to petition her using the same position (specialty occupation), or as a staff nurse?
