Get updates http://www.avanthealthcare.com 11-10 Nursing Recruitment on hold at Avant <br /> <br /> At the present time, recruitment into the US has been complicated by several issues and we wanted to outline these for your understanding: <br /> <br /> Immigration Retrogression: What does Retrogression Mean?<br /> By law, there is a quota or limit on the number of people who can be granted permanent residency visas (green cards) in any given year. Retrogression refers to the situation we face currently where the quotas have been overused and visa numbers become unavailable. It is not clear as to when visas will become available again but it seems real progress will not be made until 2011<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> http://www.avanthealthcare.com/irn.html
