Take Control of Your Green Card Journey
Adjustment of Status for Nurses on EB-2 and EB-3 Visas
You've Done the Hard Part. Let's Finish Your Green Card.
If you're a nurse working on an EB-2 or EB-3 visa with an approved I-140 petition, you're closer to your green card than you think. But if your recruitment agency isn't moving forward with your adjustment of status (I-485), you don't have to wait anymore.
You have the legal right to file your own adjustment of status—and we're here to help.
Are You In This Situation?
✓ Your I-140 petition was approved by your employer or recruitment agency
✓ You're currently working on an Employment Authorization Document (EAD)
✓ Your priority date is current or nearly current
✓ You can't afford thousands of dollars in upfront legal and government fees
✓ Your agency hasn't filed your I-485 adjustment of status
✓ You feel "stuck" and unable to change employers or advance your career
If this sounds like you, you're not alone—and there's a solution.
Why Agencies Don't File Your Adjustment of Status
Recruitment agencies profit from placing you at hospitals while you're on your EAD. Once you have your green card, you're free to work anywhere without restrictions. Many agencies deliberately delay the final step of your green card process to keep you contractually tied to them.
The truth is: Once your I-140 is approved, you don't need your agency's permission to file your I-485. Under U.S. immigration law, you have the right to file your own adjustment of status application.
How the Process Works
Step 1: Free Consultation
We'll review your I-140 approval, check your priority date in the Visa Bulletin, and confirm you're ready to file. We'll explain the process, timeline, and answer all your questions.
Step 2: Affordable Financing Available
Don't let cost stand in your way. We've partnered with BYDcash, a specialized immigration financing company, to make your green card accessible.

Step 4: Gain Your Freedom

Freedom to negotiate better positions and salaries
Ability to relocate anywhere in the United States
No more contract restrictions from recruitment agencies
Control over your career advancement
