Which companies sponsor the most green cards for Registered Nurses?
Ascension has the most, with 1,229 live Green Card jobs on Migrate Mate, followed by DaVita (1,129) and Optum (774). Across the 10 companies on this list, Migrate Mate is tracking 6,866 live Green Card jobs, updated daily.
Who qualifies for Green Card sponsorship?
Registered Nurses are eligible for employer-sponsored green card sponsorship through two main EB-3 pathways: skilled worker (requiring at least two years of experience or training) and professional (requiring a qualifying bachelor's degree in nursing). Most sponsoring employers file under EB-3. Candidates must hold a valid RN license and meet the employer's clinical requirements. Per-country limits apply, so waiting periods vary depending on the applicant's country of birth.
Can employers sponsor registered nurses for green cards?
Yes. Employers most often sponsor registered nurses for green cards through the EB-2 and EB-3 categories, which require a PERM labor certification showing no qualified U.S. worker is available for the role. A relevant bachelor's or advanced degree strengthens the case, and the employer files the I-140 petition once PERM is certified.
How do I get Green Card sponsorship from a top sponsor?
Employers sponsoring Registered Nurses for a green card typically start with a PERM labor certification filed with the Department of Labor, which tests the U.S. labor market for available workers. Once certified, the employer files an I-140 immigrant petition with USCIS establishing the nurse's priority date. When a visa number becomes available based on that priority date, the nurse applies for adjustment of status inside the U.S. or consular processing abroad. The full timeline depends on the applicant's country of birth and current visa bulletin movement.
