OPT nurse signed contracted with ADEX MEDICAL STAFFING

[Elija Fredenhargen]

Hi everyone,

I am an international student graduated as RN-BSN from US university. I signed a contract with ADEX medical staffing in which they agree to petition a green card for me. I obtained my license since June, which was when they started my petition. However, it has been a few months and I still don't have an official job RN yet. Right now, I have to do an RN volunteer job to keep my OPT visa status. Is anyone has the same situation with me or have work with ADEX before? I would love to hear from your experience.

Thank you

@MNursexo I have been looking at O'Grady Peyton, Avant Healthcare, PassportUsa, Connectis, also Conexus... but this company (Conexus) has good and bad reviews... so I don't know.

What about you?

Hi,

I am Riya. I will graduate this fall. however, I wanted to know how are you going through the process for OPT and NCLEX ? If I get any more information, ill let you know for sure.

Hi Riya,

I graduated in May but applied for OPT in April which I kinda feel now is a bit late, March could have been better. Haven’t gotten a response from USCIS now tho. Heard it takes 3-5 months. For the NCLEX, once u get I clearance from my school after exit and graduation. I then apply for the license and NCLEX. Also, prior to OPT application I worked with my college international office and got a new I20 that’s needed for the OPT application and NCLEX registration.

thank you for your information. so, the new i20 shows you maintaining F1 status..?

Hello everyone. If you have not signed with the companies listed on this thread. I advice you to join the group posted above. You can message me for more details! Please don’t fall into the trap of signing with these companies. There is a huge information gap for F1 nurses and we aim to close this gap because we’ve been there. Let’s help you get the best deal as F1!
