US Department of State issues the monthly visa bulletin, which indicates the cut-off date for processing in the upcoming month. Foreign nurses have been keeping an eye on it and the processing has improved tremendously.
The cut-off date is at January 1, 2014 last time the bulletin was issued, and it has jumped 5 months since then.
Nurses are included in the EB-3 Category of processing: Skilled Workers, Professionals, and Other Workers: 28.6% of the worldwide level, plus any numbers not required by first and second preferences, not more than 10,000 of which to "*Other Workers".
