Self-application or Agency? Help!

Hi guys! I would like to ask for an advise regarding job appication to the US. I am a filipino RN, graduated and licensed locally here in the Philippines. I recently passed the NCLEX-rn exam, Texas state, last october 2016. I'm currently reviewing for my IELTS exam. I am thinking about what's the best way to apply for a job, thru myself or ask for help from an agency here in the Philippines? I know the visa is currently retrogressed for Philippines, but after applying for Visascreen, I dont know what will be my next step? I really need an advise guys. Thank you in advance! Merry Christmas 🎁 in advance too 😊

    Do not apply for visa screen certificate until you know you are closer to a visa. It is up to you whether you go with an agency or look for a hospital yourself but going with agency will not always give you a choice on where you end up

    @Silverdragon thanks for replying. But when is the best time to apply for visa screen? I mean, due to visa retrogression here in the Philippines, i do not have idea when will it become current. Correct me if I'm wrong, but i can not get a priority date unless i have a filed I-140 form, and a Visa screen is needed for that right? Regarding the job application, I am currently here in the Philippines. I am worried that if i look for an employer myself, what if they abandon my petition for visa?

    visa screen isn't required for I140 although employers may ask for it. VSC is only valid for 5 years so if longer you will have to reapply for it. agency can abandon as much as going alone

    Oh, I see. So that means, visa screen necessity depends upon the employer, is that what you're saying? The I140 will be filed by the prospective employer right?

    Yes I 140 is filed by employer. Usually vsc isn't needed until interview with US embassy however sometimes employer can ask for it sooner

    Ok. Yes there is an agency here, actually most of them requires vsc prior to processing I140. That's why I am a bit confused. Well, I will try my best to look for an employer myself. Though I'm a bit anxious about it. I tried looking online and most of them requires IELTS passed and VSC.
