I passed all the requirements already to apply as a nurse in the US (like NCLEX, etc.) the problem is I don't know if I should pursue my application through this agency which my sister told me be under (btw, I have finished all the requirements by myself, no help from any agency). I sent her my NCLEX result and my resume already, only to get a reply from her (she is currently in the US while I am here in the Philippines) that retrogression is still present (which I am very much aware of), and that she can only file my papers to their US hospital clients once retrogression is lifted so they can conduct an interview videoconference.
That, of course, is not the type of info i want to hear from my agency! I have friends who just submitted their requirements to their respective agencies and they were already interviewed by the hospital, plus, they have already submitted their papers for I-140 and are just waiting for their notice of receipts.
These conflicting information makes me feel so disheartened about my situation. Should i believe my agency and stick with them, cause I was thinking, maybe that's the real score though it isn't nice to hear....or...look for another agency which can have the hospital interview me asap and start my i-140 processing even if retrogression is still not lifted. I need your help guys....I don't wanna be stuck here!!!

The end decision is yours to make and also have you signed a contract with them?
If you have a good read on here you will find that it is happening a lot and hospitals and agencies are delaying I-140 until retrogression is lifted.

Run from that agency. It means that they have no clients right now to place you with. There are hospitals that are still interviewing, it just means to stay away from this one. And definitely do not sign with them. This is definitely a time when a sibling does not know best.
