Pending asylee looking for employment based sponsorship in healthcare

hi guys…. I’m currently a pending Asylee since 2017. I have American kids. working actively in healthcare and when I tracked my case it says next step is an interview. The problem is it has been saying that for a while now. I’m actually in health care and a Licensed nurse now and was wondering if I could get an employment based sponsorship to take my application to the next level. I’m actually looking for health care employers ready to take it up,and support my immigration process. I’m looking for placements anywhere in the States. Most agencies I researched on only provide sponsorship for RN ( registered nurses). I was wondering if anyone has tried this and what are the odds of an aprooval., or if there are recommendations for hospitals, facilities or agencies, plus a good lawyer who has experience in such a case. Thanks #employmentbasedsponsorship #pendingasylee #healthcaresponsorships
