The US in under retrogression, they can not give you a visa. Without a Visa you can't work and don't expect the boarders to open for at least 5 years. Be careful what you sign it is legally binding.

I-140 can be file even with retrogression. Philippines current priority date for EB-3 Visa is may 1, 2005.if the employer could file me the petition, then my priority date would be earlier than to wait the retrogression to gone down. Why in forum all say 5 years or more?

Don't forget that English tests must be passed if they're seeking employment in the US. It's interesting some of the English skills I'm coming across on this forum. Some of the people on here can write in the English language, and I see no problems in employment. But there are others that I would definately question and would hope and pray that a lawyer doesn't get a hold of their charting because they would be barbecued in an instant.

Specializes in intensive care, recovery, anesthetics.

Nothing will go faster if they file for you know. You still have to wait several years.

The 5 years + is a calculation due to the fact that about 800 000 applications were accepted I think in 2007. With the same amount of available visas do your maths.

Those are all in line in front of you, and, that's a wild guess but propably many applicants were from countrys with a huge number of immigrants allready.

So if in bad luck waiting times might be longer than 7 years or so.

I just want to put a word of caution an agency is not a place for an unseasoned nurse. They do not give you orientation and you are expected to work at a very high level. Also you will be assigned to places no one else will work in conditions that are not the community standard.

Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC.

Only you an make the decision to sign with them but things to be considered is the long wait and dates being processed go backwards as well as forwards and we have seen this happen this year just look back on the PD on visa bulletin. Will the agency still be going in a few years time because if they close shop then your PD goes as well. Look at the cancellation fee and who pays for what etc.

Also remember if dates are delays and you have to renew VSC (only valid for 5 years) then English tests need to be valid and will have to be taken again

Bigger issue is going to be if you decide to do something else while waiting and prefer that better and to remain there. Then you will owe a very large cancellation fee to any agency or employer. There still is no guarantee that one will be automatically get a green card any longer. The shear number of applicants from your country makes things look more bleak than ever, not putting things in your favor at all.
