Verify your NBCOT certification before applying
UofL Health requires active NBCOT certification for OT roles. If your credential is pending or needs renewal, resolve it before submitting applications. Employers in this system won't advance candidates whose licensure status is unclear.
Target roles in inpatient rehab units specifically
UofL Health's inpatient rehabilitation and acute care units tend to have the most consistent OT openings. Focusing your applications on these settings improves your odds of landing a role that fits the specialty occupation criteria required for H-1B sponsorship.
Use Migrate Mate to filter open OT roles by visa type
Not every OT posting at UofL Health specifies sponsorship eligibility upfront. Use Migrate Mate to filter roles at UofL Health by the visa types they sponsor, so you're applying to positions where your immigration pathway is already confirmed.
Align your OPT end date with UofL Health's hiring cycle
If you're on F-1 OPT, confirm your remaining authorized work period against UofL Health's typical onboarding timeline. If your OPT expires before the next H-1B cap season, you'll need to discuss cap-gap coverage or STEM OPT extension eligibility with the employer before accepting an offer.

Find OT at UofL Health JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does UofL Health sponsor H-1B visas for OTs?
Yes, UofL Health sponsors H-1B visas for occupational therapists. OT roles qualify as specialty occupations under USCIS criteria because they require at least a master's degree in occupational therapy. Sponsorship typically begins after an offer is accepted, and the employer files the Labor Condition Application with DOL before submitting the H-1B petition to USCIS.
How do I apply for OT jobs at UofL Health?
You can browse and apply for OT positions at UofL Health through Migrate Mate, which filters roles by visa sponsorship type so you can confirm your pathway before applying. Applications generally require an updated resume, active NBCOT certification, and Kentucky OT licensure or eligibility. Inpatient rehab and acute care roles tend to have the most consistent openings.
Which visa types does UofL Health commonly use for OT roles?
UofL Health sponsors OTs through H-1B, TN, F-1 OPT, F-1 CPT, and employment-based Green Card pathways including EB-2 and EB-3. TN is available only to Canadian and Mexican citizens and covers OTs as a designated profession. The H-1B is the most common route for other international candidates, with Green Card sponsorship typically available after an initial period of employment.
What qualifications does UofL Health expect for OT candidates?
UofL Health requires active NBCOT certification and a valid Kentucky occupational therapy license or the ability to obtain one before starting. Most roles expect clinical experience in acute care, inpatient rehab, or outpatient settings. For H-1B eligibility, your role must require a specific degree in occupational therapy, which the position descriptions at UofL Health generally satisfy.
How long does the visa sponsorship process take for OTs at UofL Health?
For H-1B sponsorship, the employer must file the Labor Condition Application with DOL and then submit the I-129 petition to USCIS, with regular processing taking three to six months. TN status can be obtained at a port of entry on the same day as your offer is accepted. Green Card sponsorship through PERM typically takes one to two years before the I-140 stage, so it's worth discussing timing expectations during the offer negotiation.
