Currently, we're primarily hiring registered nurses. In the future, we may also employ physical therapists and medical technologists to meet evolving demands in the U.S. 

We recruit candidates from around the world. However, some countries have better opportunities for healthcare professionals to come to the U.S. and much of this is based on visa availability for the country where you were born. Requirements include meeting U.S. education and English proficiency standards and passing U.S. licensure exams. If you're from a country with a healthcare professional shortage, contact our recruiters to see if you qualify.

A VisaScreen Certificate is an official document issued upon completion of a comprehensive screening service. This service evaluates your credentials, education, and English language proficiency.

A priority date is assigned to you at the time your immigrant petition is filed with the U.S. government. It signifies your place in line for visa processing within a particular category or preference level.  
Obtaining a priority date as soon as possible is crucial because it establishes your position in the queue for visa issuance. Due to annual limitations on visa numbers, certain categories may face significant waiting times. Therefore, the earlier you secure a priority date, the sooner you can potentially move forward in the immigration process and ultimately obtain your visa.

Visa retrogression occurs when the demand for visas exceeds the available supply. If your priority date is affected by a retrogression, it means that, temporarily, your application may face delays in progressing to the next stage of the immigration process.

You can check the Visa Bulletin published monthly by the U.S. Department of State. The bulletin provides information on priority dates and whether they are current, retrogressed, or have remained the same. It's a vital resource for applicants to stay informed about the status of their priority dates.

Visa retrogression refers to a situation where the demand for visas in a particular category or country exceeds the available supply of visas.
