Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship as a Hospice Registered Nurse
Verify your CGFNS credentials before applying
Foreign-trained nurses must complete CGFNS credential evaluation before PERM can proceed. Get your credentials assessed early, delays at this stage can push your entire green card timeline back by months before a single employer form is filed.
Target hospice employers with Schedule A history
Registered nurses are Schedule A occupations, meaning employers skip the PERM labor market test entirely. Prioritize hospice organizations that have used Schedule A before, as their HR teams already understand the abbreviated filing path for RNs.
Search green card sponsoring jobs on Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to filter hospice RN roles by employers actively sponsoring employment-based green cards. This saves you from cold-applying to organizations with no PERM filing history and no infrastructure to support an I-140 petition.
Confirm NCLEX licensure is transferable across state lines
Your PERM application ties to a specific work location. If your RN license is from a non-compact state, you'll need to obtain licensure in the employer's state before the I-140 can advance, so resolve this before accepting an offer.
Request the prevailing wage determination upfront
Ask prospective employers to share the OFLC Wage Search result for your job title and location before you negotiate salary. The DOL prevailing wage sets the floor for your offer of employment, and being paid below it will invalidate the PERM filing.
Understand priority date backlogs by country of birth
EB-3 for nurses has no annual cap concern for most nationalities, but applicants born in India, China, or the Philippines face priority date backlogs that can span years. Check the USCIS Visa Bulletin for your country's current cutoff date before committing to a sponsoring employer.
Green Card Hospice Registered Nurse: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a hospice RN role qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 green card sponsorship?
Most hospice RN positions are sponsored under EB-3, which covers skilled workers and professionals with a bachelor's degree. Candidates with a BSN and significant clinical leadership or management credentials may qualify for EB-2 as advanced-degree professionals. The sponsoring employer's attorney typically determines the appropriate category based on the specific job duties and your credentials.
How does green card sponsorship differ from H-1B sponsorship for hospice nurses?
The green card route through PERM and I-140 leads to permanent residency, not a temporary status. RNs also benefit from Schedule A designation, which lets employers skip the PERM labor market test entirely, unlike the standard H-1B visa process. There is no annual lottery, and EB-3 has no cap that limits how many employers can file in a given year.
What is the Schedule A designation and how does it affect my sponsorship timeline?
Schedule A is a DOL pre-certification that applies to registered nurses and a small number of other occupations. Because DOL has pre-determined that qualified U.S. workers are not readily available for these roles, employers file directly with USCIS without completing the standard PERM recruitment process first. This can cut months off the typical employer filing timeline.
Where can I find hospice RN jobs with verified green card sponsorship?
Migrate Mate lets you search hospice and palliative care RN roles filtered specifically by employers with employment-based green card sponsorship history. Searching this way ensures you're applying to organizations that have already navigated the PERM and I-140 process for nurses, rather than employers who may be open to sponsorship in principle but have no infrastructure to execute it.
Can I switch hospice employers while my green card case is pending?
Once your I-140 is approved and your priority date becomes current, portability rules under AC21 allow you to move to a same or similar RN role with a new employer without restarting your case. Before that point, changing employers generally requires the new organization to file a fresh PERM and I-140, so timing and case stage matter significantly.
