After passing the NCLEX, I was eager to move on to the next step: finding an agency that could help me secure an employer and process my visa. Unfortunately, this part has been really frustrating. I’ve spoken with several agencies, but many refused to process my application simply because I don’t have clinical experience. That was a tough reality to face.
Passing the NCLEX was a huge personal achievement,
especially after multiple attempts. I thought that would be the hardest part,
but finding a job in the U.S. has turned out to be even more challenging. I’m
grateful that IPASS introduced me to an agency, but I’m starting to have doubts
about their process. The agent I’m working with doesn’t seem very helpful or
reliable when it comes to giving me clear instructions, which makes me feel a
bit uneasy.
What’s adding to my insecurity is hearing from Mary, who
constantly talks about how great and supportive her agency is. For example, I’m
still confused about the CES report, which I need for visa processing. My
agency didn’t explain its purpose clearly, and I only found out more about it
after they referred me to a third-party service. I thought the documents they
gave me were the same as the CES report from EEEOA and CGFNS, but now I’m not
so sure.
Talking to Mary hasn’t helped ease my confusion either. She
insists that CGFNS is the gold standard for obtaining the CES report. When I
looked into it, I found that EEEOA and CGFNS do provide similar documentation,
but what I read claims that CGFNS is more reliable for visa applications. When
I asked my agent, he told me that I didn’t need the CGFNS CES report, and that
the one from EEEOA is enough for visa screening.
At this point, I feel stuck and unsure. I’m confused about
what’s really required.
I’ve also decided to stop talking to Mary about anything related to agencies or the visa process, just to avoid overthinking things. Because it’s not helping me, it made me feel confused and unsure if I’m on the right path with my agency.
