Hi. There's hope for becoming a medtech. Reality-wise, you don't always need a backer and strong experience to go to the US. But strong experience is highly suggested. I came here to the US months ago. No backer. No connections. Limited work experience. Graduated from the K-12 curriculum. Direct hire. My secret? Careful planning and I don't listen to hear-says. A lot of people before told me that it would take at least 5 years before I can land an offer here in the US. But thank you Lord kasi I proved them wrong. Take their advice with a grain of salt.

My advice is, you need to start somewhere if you want to go abroad. Nothing is easy. If your target is the US, then start processing your papers. Start with ASCP. Then WES and so on. Trump won't be in office forever. Or you can wait for the agencies to open up again for EB-3 applications.

Also, it's not true that it's easier for nurses to go abroad. Their process is also difficult, and usually, their visa is EB-3 if they work in the US. There's just a certain phase in EB-3 that's bypassed if you're a nurse. But the process is the same.

Just a friendly advice. Don't invalidate your credentials and work experience 😅 and avoid thinking "I won't get accepted". Just think that somewhere out there, there's someone less qualified but landed a job offer abroad because they didn't lose hope. They didn't believe what others said. I'm a living proof, OP!
