As the demand for nurses in the United States increases, many employers look to foreign nurses to meet the demand. The H-1B visa is available to nurses in qualifying positions. We explain which nursing positions qualify for H-1B visa status here.
In general, a US employer that wishes to hire a foreign worker on a permanent basis must obtain a permanent labor certification from the DOL before USCIS can issue a green card. There are few exceptions to this requirement, commonly referred to as the “Schedule A” professions; including professional nurses, physical therapists, and immigrants of exceptional ability in the sciences and arts.
