Hello, my name is Abdulmajid and I am from Afghanistan.I finished my bachelors in nursing in 2022. I've been working as a nurse for the last 18 months. I saw your ad on social media and went through your website, unfortunately I could not find the answers to my questions on the website. Could you help me out?
1. Can I apply to work as a nurse in Germany?
2. How long will the process take?
3. I am married so can I bring my wife along with me?
4. Is my degree accepted in Germany?
Thank You
