Your Recovery Plan

You May Be Further Ahead Than You Think

If your direct hire employer rescinded your offer, you may not have lost your place in line. Your priority date could still give you a major head start. In many cases, the next step is finding a new employer who can recapture that priority date and help you keep moving forward.

Your Next Steps

Confirm your I-140 approval and priority date

Be ready for a new placement

Make sure you keep your resume up to date, practice for hospital interviews, and keep your credentials, including English exam results and VisaScreen, current so you can move quickly when the time is right for a new selection.
