Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Physical Therapy Assistant Jobs at Select Medical Jobs
Verify your PTA license before applying
Each state where Select Medical operates requires a separate PTA license. Confirm your credential is active and transferable in your target state before submitting applications, since Select Medical's offer letters are typically tied to a specific facility location.
Target outpatient and rehab hospital postings
Select Medical's sponsorship activity for PTAs is concentrated in its outpatient rehabilitation and long-term acute care hospital divisions. Filter your job search to those facility types to find roles where international hiring is an established practice rather than an exception.
Ask HR about LCA filing timing upfront
The H-1B process requires a certified Labor Condition Application from DOL before USCIS reviews your petition. During offer negotiations, ask Select Medical's HR team when they intend to file the LCA so you can track the timeline against your current work authorization expiration.
Prepare a credential evaluation for your degree
If you completed your PTA education outside the U.S., Select Medical's credentialing team will need a foreign equivalency evaluation. Obtain this from a NACES-approved evaluator before your interview so it doesn't delay the offer or the I-129 petition.
Search Select Medical PTA openings on Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to filter Physical Therapy Assistant openings at Select Medical by visa sponsorship type. This surfaces roles where H-1B or Green Card sponsorship is explicitly supported, saving time you'd otherwise spend vetting individual postings manually.
Plan for PERM if pursuing a Green Card
EB-2 and EB-3 Green Card sponsorship for PTAs requires Select Medical to complete PERM labor certification through DOL before filing your I-140. That process can take a year or more, so raise your long-term interest early in conversations with the hiring manager.

Does Select Medical sponsor H-1B visas for Physical Therapy Assistants?
Yes, Select Medical sponsors H-1B visas for Physical Therapy Assistants. The company has an active sponsorship history for PTA roles across its rehabilitation and specialty hospital network. Sponsorship is typically tied to a specific facility and state license, so availability can vary by location. Confirming sponsorship support directly with the hiring facility's HR team during the interview process is the clearest path forward.
How do I apply for Physical Therapy Assistant jobs at Select Medical?
You can browse and apply for Physical Therapy Assistant positions at Select Medical through Migrate Mate, which filters listings by visa sponsorship type so you can identify roles where H-1B or Green Card support is available. When applying, include your active state PTA license, any foreign credential evaluation documentation, and a resume that reflects hands-on patient care hours, since Select Medical's clinical hiring teams prioritize demonstrated treatment experience.
Which visa types does Select Medical commonly use for Physical Therapy Assistants?
Select Medical sponsors both nonimmigrant and immigrant visa categories for PTAs. H-1B is the primary nonimmigrant path, requiring a certified Labor Condition Application from DOL and an approved I-129 petition with USCIS. For longer-term employment, Select Medical has also supported EB-2 and EB-3 Green Card sponsorship, which requires completing PERM labor certification before an immigrant petition can be filed.
What qualifications does Select Medical expect from Physical Therapy Assistants?
Select Medical expects candidates to hold an associate degree from an accredited PTA program, hold an active state PTA license in the state where the role is based, and have direct patient care experience in rehabilitation or post-acute settings. For international applicants, a NACES-approved foreign credential evaluation is required if your degree was completed outside the U.S. Clinical competency in therapeutic exercise and manual techniques is consistently prioritized across facilities.
How do I know if I have enough time on my current visa to get sponsored by Select Medical?
H-1B petitions require time to prepare the Labor Condition Application with DOL and then file the I-129 with USCIS. Standard USCIS processing can take several months, though premium processing is available for faster adjudication. If your current authorization expires within six months of an expected start date, raise that with Select Medical's HR team immediately so they can assess whether the timeline is workable before extending an offer.
