However, there is a story of a poor guy in Texas who married a lady from Dominican Republic and they were into it about 4 years and still she was not here. I need to go search and see if that sad story on immigration turned out for the good.

I think you mean RN's from other countries do not need degrees, and in the US they do.

Well if you have a caregiver in mind who is "family" then it seems to me the simplest route would be to sponsor them for a family based visa.

This sounds really weird to me...is it that you want someone who wants to come here, and thus be "beholden" to you, and owe you some sort of duty? That really sounds like a way to set up alot of frustration for you, if the person you choose does not show enough "gratitude" for your help in getting to the US.

Find someone already here, maybe a student, or older person. That will make the relationship more equal. Unless, that is not what you want...

Too many people prejudice against Asians I guess.

I have extended family, brother and sister in laws and they can not come as family, not close enough. I thought it nice to give one a chance to come here and live and not be a burden on society by being a part of my household.

Someone said foreigners can not own land in The Philippines. And Japan is too rich for my resources, too high a standard of living.

Who "too many people"?

And even if that WERE possible, which it's not, then who would support your caregiver in the event of your demise or change of circumstances?

"Someone said" is a phrase you seem to like to use. It's nice of you to think of your friends in Asia but the bottom line is that the chances of your being able to hire one of them is next to nothing so, as has been suggested before, best you start looking for an Asian already legally in the US to fill the bill. Good luck.

It's not an immediate event, down the road.

A resident of Manila said their law prohibits foreigners from owning land.
They used the word "lease" as possible, I'll have my brother in law check into the laws there.

As far as hiring a student, like someone said following their use of the word "weird"...in THIS American society and they are suggesting that at my age, or my age when I would need some assistance, that I hire a STUDENT....?
Our society is too paranoid (obsessively paranoid) about such stuff. I'd never consider a student, not even college.

Yes, I'd put clauses in my will to have everything covered, caregiver would be a co-beneficiary.

Which visa?

RNs have to wait 7 years for Green cards at the moment.
Not sure for others but I understand that diplomats and employees of international organizations can bring in domestic workers under a G5 Visa.

G5 is tied to G1-4 and tied to a number of stipulations. You cannot "bring in the hired help" so to speak.

RNs in the USA don't have to have a BSN, which is a requirement for a work visa, many only have 2 yr Associate degrees.
