Your Recovery Plan

A Fresh Start With a Head Start

If your offer was cancelled before your I-140 was approved, you may still have a strong path forward. Many internationally educated nurses begin their U.S. sponsorship journey before they have an approved I-140. Your nursing experience, exam progress, credentials, and preparation can still help you move toward the right employer and sponsorship opportunity.
