Persevered for American Dream - Vicente

Congratulations to Vicente, RN, who recently completed the first step in the American Dream with PassportUSA.

‍

Some people say, "Life has its own destiny," but a brighter destiny is much more desirable by all. For me, to achieve that level, one must exert virtues such as patience, perseverance, humbleness, faith, hope, trust, self-worth, and confidence. Just what I experienced in my journey to reaching my American dream with Health Carousel Limited Liability Company.

In 2019, I was introduced by one of my good nurse friends about the agency, Health Carousel. Through a series of communications with the company staff, I was convinced to commit myself to applying or being recruited by them. Since then, I have faced terrible delays in my application process along the way. I took my IELTS exams four times before I got an acceptable band score in 2021. I have undergone repeated needed examinations and was likewise subjected to a sputum examination twice.

My first SLEC medical result also expired because the 2023 Visa bulletin retrogression caught it. Despite those difficulties, I still had my advisors, who were very supportive and provided encouraging, bright insight despite all odds throughout the process and the problems encountered.

And now, early this year, in 2024, I finally got my interview date for the US Embassy and was thankfully approved. With great relief from the stresses I have been through, finally, after 5 long years, I'm so grateful to share that I will be deployed to  Alabama.

Lastly, for all my fellow nurses or medical workers who are dreaming of a green pasture in the USA, all I can say is to always pack yourselves with the virtues I mentioned earlier and to "never give up easily!" God speed.

We are beyond excited for you Vicente! Congratulations again on achieving your American Dream! We wish you the best as you continue to navigate your U.S. nursing career.
