Immigration and Retrogression Resources

I have signed my contract with Health Carousel in 2022 after learning about this agency from one of my close friends who achieved their American dream through Health Carousel and the whole process just took two years for me. We are sincerely thankful to Health Carousel for fulfilling our American dream into reality.

My PassportUSA advisors, Ms. Thao and Ms. Brianna has provided great support since the beginning. We are extremely thrilled to start our new beginning in the United States.

We would highly recommend HC for any nurse who is trying to aspire their dream to settle and work in the United States.

My favorite moment with PassportUSA was receiving a mail from Ms. Brianna extending a job-offer letter from a facility in South Carolina.

My American dream made possible only with the help of the ever supportive PassportUSA team. Right after i passed my NCLEX way back May 17, 2022, I searched a rightful agency to cater all my needs to get that dream. June 2022 signed up Health Carousel PassportUSA, then happy to know that my petition was approved July 22, 2022. I was over the moon that time wondering how they do that so fast!

As I continued my work in Saudi Arabia, unfortunately, the visa bulletin month of August 2022 is when retrogression started. With the help of my IDA and all their encouragement, I continued to hope and pray. I believed that everything has reasons, so I focused on completing the remaining requirements, from English eligibility until I got my Visa Screen certification.

PassportUSA has been very supportive even in retrogression stage, I was never alone.

October 20, 2023 I was DQ, then January 2024 my PD got current, transferred my case from Riyadh to Manila Embassy last February 20, 2024 and only a week, the process was complete, amazingly fast!

The thrill continues when I got the update from the NVC then on April got my P4 interview letter, I think it happened so fast! May 10, 2024 for my Embassy interview.

When God will work with you, everything is possible! Confidently, I am proud to answer that I am one of the products of PassportUSA. I got my visa together with my two sons.

I am Brigette, 46 years old, single mom, always saying that, perseverance is the key to success partner it with the right people, positively influencing you on the way to success! Health Carousel PassportUSA is the one! And I am so grateful and honored to be part of this family.

It’s a journey that began many years ago and one that has taught me the value of perseverance, faith, and resilience.

I started my nursing career in the Philippines, working at the Philippine Heart Center and later at Prince Sultan Military Medical City. In 2008, I began planning to pursue my nursing career in the United States. I successfully passed the CGFNS and IELTS exams, and my I-140 petition was filed with a priority date of August 3, 2009.

However, my journey was not without its challenges. I took the NCLEX but, unfortunately, did not pass. Then, the retrogression hit, and my former hospital abandoned my petition. At that point, I decided to put my American dream aside. I focused on my career in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where I was promoted several times and became actively involved in nursing organizations.

Years passed, and I thought my dream of working in the U.S. had slipped away. But in life, doors often open when you least expect them. I received an invitation to a PassportUSA by Health Carousel International, LLC event, and it reignited my desire to pursue that dream once again.

At that time, Saudization was being implemented in my department, and I realized it was the perfect moment to revisit my dream. In May 2023, I took the NCLEX exam again and this time, I passed. I reached out to Health Carousel, LLC to inquire about my previous petition. I was relieved and overjoyed to learn that age was not an issue, and my previous priority date could be recaptured.

My initial U.S. embassy interview was set for May 24, 2024, but due to work commitments, I requested to move it to a later date. After several rebooking's, I was finally able to leave Riyadh on July 16, 2024. Following my medical exam on July 19, my U.S. embassy interview took place on August 2. By August 24, I received my passport and visa packets, and on September 25, 2024, I took my flight to New Jersey.

My journey was long and full of obstacles, but nothing is impossible with God. He leads us to where we need to be in His perfect time. Age is not a barrier if you have the right knowledge, skills, and attitude. There is always an equal opportunity for everyone, and I am living proof that dreams can become reality, no matter how long it takes.

I passed NCLEX on August 2022 and on September (a month after) I signed with Health Carousel. I was out of bedside for almost more than a decade and with Health Carousel Clinical Residency Program. I am confident that they will help me continue my passion as a nurse. My journey with HC is not a walk in the park. There were challenges along the road but my advisors were always there to guide and motivate me to never give up in my American dream. To Rein, Ma'am Liza, Sir JP, and the rest of the team, thank you so much. Without your consistent follow-ups, I would not be where I am right now. Of course, always trust God’s timing. If it’s God’s will, it will be yours. To my fellow HC candidates, just keep on dreaming, one day, by God’s grace, all those dreams will eventually come true. Stay positive and trust God’s plan for your life.

Before I passed my PNLE in 2019, I applied to Health Carousel via Ms Cairos. By late 2019 to early 2020, I received an acceptance call. They were willing to sponsor my American Dream. However, my aunt thought otherwise and I had to decline their offer. Fast-forward to 2 years later, I reapplied again and was accepted in later 2021. I was having a hard time processing on my own and Health Carousel was a very big help from helping me pass my NCLEX. They were also a big help in guiding me throughout the paperwork and embassy interview. It eased my anxiety knowing they will still be a part of my US life. I know some nurses under different agencies that made me very thankful I got accepted into Health Carousel.

I've had amazing advisors, two of them are Ms. Janis and Ms. Gmae. They were always checking up on me and always available when have questions. I've learned that with the right support system, everything you dream of can become a reality. Time and money will just be minor bumps on the road. I know there's retrogression going on and a lot of candidates out there are a little low on hope. Just sit back and wait and live life in the present. This time next year (or in the next years), you'll be saying goodbye to your friends, family, and country. Trust in the process. Trust in Health Carousel.

I passed the NCLEX last 2020. The application process was never easy but it became doable because of health carousel and my advisor, Ma’am Joanna, with the never ending support and monthly follow-ups. There were delays on my part due to my English exam, but if it is God’s will, nothing will indeed stop you in reaching your dreams. To my colleagues, trust the process and make the wait worthwhile.

“Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” Psalm 37:4

I was so depressed about my USA dream due to retrogression. After 16yrs of waiting, fortunately I heard about Passport USA from my friend. I signed the contract on 2020 and my embassy interview was on August 2022. I have an amazing experience with them. My advisors are efficient and helpful. They have guided and encouraged me to do all the needed things for my processing. I am planning to go to USA with my family. So we would like to expressing our deepest gratitude to Passport USA and Health Carousel for giving me an opportunity to work as a nurse and fulfill  my American dream. I would highly recommend Passport USA to anyone who is a registered nurse. Thank you Passport USA. May God bless you.

I learned that PPUSA will arrived in Abu Dhabi for recruitment in May 2019 (Nurses Road to USA 2019). I registered and attended the interview and meet Mr. Earl Dalton. At first I was hesitant to show up in the interview because I’m not in bedside care and working as Dental Assistant for a decade in UAE. Thankfully, I got accepted despite of my work experience and signed the contract sent by Mr. Shane Howard.

The PPUSA advisors that handled my case are all dedicated to their job. I would like to thank Shane, Brookes and Erin for a job well done. They are prompt, always on time and quick to respond on my queries. Although I was issued a NOID status during the initial filing of I-140,  they did everything they can to get me Approved. So far, this is my favorite moment in PPUSA- the day I got petition approval. What a relief!

My advise to my fellow RNs is to never give up on your goals. I passed the NCLEX way back 2009 but  due to retrogression, I become disinterested to continue inspite of having  visa screen readied. I came to UAE to earn a living and become so focused on my job. It took me almost 10 years to revived my American Dream.  Thanks to PPUSA for the encouragement to continue.  I always believe that “God has a perfect timing for everything; never early, never late. It takes a little patience and faith, but it’s worth the wait.”

Right in the middle of the Covid 19 Pandemic when my only hope to cope with is my petition that was cancelled due to the effects of the pandemic to my petitioner’s business, I was lost and almost gave up my dream to work as a nurse in the United States of America. I was not sure where to start again and almost at the point of giving up just thinking about going over the same processing I did with my cancelled petition. But God was so good to give me hope through Health Carousel that welcomed me to joint its program sometime in April 2022. I am forever grateful to Health Carousel that plays a significant role in making my American dream come true. I am forever grateful to my IDAs who guided me along the way. HCLLC was able to recapture my priority date from my previous petitioner who abandoned me. The process was smooth, fast and right on schedule with the kind assistance of my IDA's ma'am Joanna Bautist, Gmae Roquim-Limbang, Stephanie Aglugob and Maricel Indemne. They consistently reminded me to timely submit all documentary requirement to avoid delay in processing and they patiently answered all my queries despite their busy schedule. I appreciate how HCLLC ensure every candidate to feel comfortable not to mention how they inspire and boost the confidence of every candidate. Now that I am starting to fulfill my American dreams I can say that joining the HCLLC is one of the best choices I did in my career as Nurse. To my fellow nurses and all health care professionals who wants to achieve their American dream, be a part of HCLLC program, don't just dream make it happen.

My name is Rosily. I am from India. I heard about PassportUSA from my friend Mini who is also a member of this family. My journey to USA began in 2006. Initially,there was retrogression and my previous employer abandoned me. So I had to drop my dream of going to USA. When the retrogression got lifted and my priority date became current, I reignited my dreams and this time I joined hands with PassportUSA who took care of everything from collection of documents to the arrival. They also helped me recapture my priority date from the previous petition which was the most important incident in my life and I am extremely thankful to them.My 3 gems Mr. Shane Howard, Ms. Courtney Wilson and Ms. Presley Owusu Bonsu, they were always there with me to help, support and guide me throughout the journey. A piece of advice to all the international nurses aspiring to go to USA is that," The road to success always come through hardwork, determination, sacrifice and prayer." So set your goal high and start working towards it.

I am forever grateful to HC/Passport USA in helping me fulfill my dream to come and work in the US. There was a time when I was about to give up because of retrogression but they never failed to encourage me to carry on until the day I left Saudi Arabia in April 2018 and arrived in the US the next month. I’m glad I found the company that helped me reached my dream as USRN.

Thank you Health Carousel for helping me fulfill my dreams. I was abandoned twice and got denied once in my US interview which was facilitated by other agency/employer. Health Carousel never gave up in reaching out and helping me chase my dream. It was a smooth process. You always make it a point that you want to get my documents in by a deadline or to the time table that you had given me. All your advisors are well educated and knowledgeable on the entire process. Thank you and more power.

I joined Health Carousel in April 2017. I found out about the organization through my internet search. I was a case of an abandoned employer because of retrogression before. I'm glad that I signed with Health Carousel because my American Dream became a reality. Moreover, I was able to bring my family with me because of Health Carousel's help. Everyone was so accommodating and understanding. From the start of my recruitment with Mico, to my deployment advisors, Karen and Stephanie, thank you so much. To Glenda, for the IELTS tips and advice and for being patient with me and with all my queries. To Roda, for handling my RN license endorsement. And to everyone at Health Carousel for making all of this possible. To fellow nurses, just trust the process. Health Carousel know what they are doing. They are a legitimate organization. Just be patient and compliant. Most of all, don't forget to pray always.

It was PassportUSA who recaptured my priority date. It was a bit of a lengthy process but they were there to support me and kept me informed on the progress of my application. I might've still been waiting now if it wasn't for PassportUSA's effort to achieve my American dream. Thank you Health Carousel!

I was already 38 years old when I decided to take the NCLEX exam. I passed but no agency wanted to accept me because of retrogression in the US until I heard and learned about Health Carousel and decided to give it a try. That was October 2014 and I got my priority date in April 2015 and we started processing all my papers. Another opportunity knocked in 2016. I got a job offer in the UAE and I decided to give it a try while waiting for my priority date to be current. After 7 months of working in the UAE, my priority date became current so I resigned from my UAE job to focus on my American dream. After 4 years of waiting, I am now heading to my dream country, the United States, with my family this time. Thank you Health Carousel, especially to my international deployment advocate, Liza who was very accommodating, warm, and patient. For those nurses out there, never give up. Everything has the right time, you just need to patiently wait.

I was one of the retrogression babies, along with my other siblings who are also nurses. Health Carousel has been a huge help for people like us who almost lost hope in pursuing our dreams and life goals. They will make sure that all candidates are well-equipped before going out in the real world. My whole family will forever be grateful for bringing our dreams into reality. With my sincerest gratitude, thank you HCLLC.
