Problem With Hospital-petitioner

Thanks so much guys for responding.
I really hope my problem will resolve soon.

Suzanne, the agency has been operating since 1994--very good record.
Their main office is in MA but they have a Philippine-licensed sublet office here in manila where they carry out interviews, meetings, etc...
I went there a number of times and was impressed with the "professionalism" they displayed and their transparency, in addressing their applicants' concerns. I even talked with the other applicants who were very satisfied with the way things were being handled for them. They had a good deployment record. They also had a website and no less than the President/owner of the agency himself kept in constant touch w/ me thru emails (since he is based in MA).

Then came the job offer, from an equally big hospital-employer, which had many satellite branches all over the US, Australia and Puerto Rico...and which also had a website...and of good reputation, accdg to my relatives and friends in the US (i asked around).
But this hospital, if I must mention, just started its tie-up with my agency.
Meaning, I am among the 1st batch of nurses from my agency to be hired by them. So the interview was set...they liked me and I liked their contract.
Then after 2 months of thinking about it...I eventually signed (of course w/ the approval of my family).

Things were really ok then.
I don't know what came up all of a sudden for the hospital to "act strangely" and become this 'slow' in filing our petition.
I keep asking my agent almost everyday if it has already been filed, what's up, what's taking it so long...etc..etc
I feel it's not my agency's fault bec they, of all people, would like things to move fast. That way they can already get their money, right?
Besides, it's my hospital employer who will petition and not the agency.
And I wanted to communicate with the HR people in that hospital myself, but my agency tells me that they will be the one to take care of it. :selfbonk:

So there.......I'm still hanging on though.
I really hope something good comes out of this in the end.
Thanks again to all of you!

Point very well taken, Suzanne.

I will do as you suggested, that is, demand a time-frame from my agency.
I just hope that if I get out of the contract this early, I wouldn't be burdened with fees from the agency (which is what my family is more concerned about actually).
When I met the agency, I have accomplished the cgfns / ielts / Visa screen.
I'm just not sure if they would charge me for things that I didn't know about (technical aspects) which they might have spent in my behalf legal-wise.
Anyway, still very good advice from you-straighten things out even to the point of calling it quits with them if I had to! :stone

Thanks again... :flowersfo
I will keep you guys posted for any developments.
Pls pray with me for things to be ok. I worked so hard for this.....

Ok, got it...I'm enlightened now.

Thanks for helping me here, Suzanne.
I appreciate it, really. Will keep you posted. :typing
