Maxillofacial Surgeon Green Card Jobs
Maxillofacial surgeon roles qualify for EB-2 and EB-3 green card sponsorship through the PERM labor certification process, which requires your employer to document that no qualified U.S. worker is available for the position. Oral and maxillofacial surgery's combination of medical and dental training strengthens the prevailing-wage and specialty-occupation case your employer must build.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship in Maxillofacial Surgeon
Verify your credential equivalency before applying
U.S. employers filing PERM for a maxillofacial surgeon must specify the required degree. If your surgical training came through a non-U.S. dual-degree pathway, get a credential evaluation that maps your qualifications to a U.S. MD or DDS plus residency before your employer submits the labor certification.
Target hospital systems with existing PERM history
Academic medical centers and large hospital networks file PERM petitions regularly and have in-house immigration counsel experienced with physician sponsorship. Prioritize institutions with oral surgery or head-and-neck oncology departments, where the specialty is well-defined and the prevailing-wage documentation is straightforward.
Check prevailing wage before salary negotiations begin
Your employer must pay at least the DOL-certified prevailing wage for your SOC code and geographic area throughout the PERM process. Use the OFLC Wage Search to look up the Level I through Level IV wage tiers for oral and maxillofacial surgeons in your target city before you receive a written offer.
Search green card sponsoring employers on Migrate Mate
Migrate Mate filters maxillofacial surgeon roles by employers with active green card sponsorship history, so you're not guessing which institutions will file on your behalf. Use it to narrow your search before outreach and confirm sponsorship intent during the interview stage.
Understand the EB-2 versus EB-3 priority date difference
Most maxillofacial surgeon roles qualify for EB-2 because they require an advanced degree, which typically means a shorter wait for a current priority date compared to EB-3. Confirm with your employer's immigration counsel which category the PERM job description will support before the I-140 is filed.
Get state licensure locked in before PERM recruitment begins
PERM requires your employer to advertise the role with the minimum requirements that apply to you, including state licensure. If you aren't yet licensed in the hiring state, the employer cannot list licensure as a requirement, which can complicate the petition or delay DOL recruitment documentation.

Find Maxillofacial Surgeon JobsMaxillofacial Surgeon Green Card Sponsorship: Frequently Asked Questions
Do maxillofacial surgeon jobs typically qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 green card sponsorship?
Most maxillofacial surgeon positions qualify for EB-2 because the role requires an advanced degree, typically a combined DDS or DMD with an MD or a completed oral and maxillofacial surgery residency. If the employer's job description can support EB-2, that category generally offers a faster path to a current priority date for many nationalities compared to EB-3, though your specific country of birth determines the actual wait.
How does green card sponsorship through PERM differ from H-1B sponsorship for this role?
PERM-based green card sponsorship leads to lawful permanent residency rather than a temporary status that requires renewal every few years. Unlike the H-1B, there is no annual lottery for employment-based green cards, and EB-2 and EB-3 petitions are not subject to a cap. The tradeoff is a longer overall timeline: PERM labor certification, an I-140 petition, and then adjustment of status or consular processing, which can take one to three or more years depending on your priority date and country of birth.
What does the PERM labor certification process look like for a maxillofacial surgeon position?
Your employer files an Application for Permanent Employment Certification with DOL to demonstrate that no qualified U.S. worker is available for the role. This requires a formal recruitment period, including job postings, newspaper advertisements, and internal notices meeting DOL requirements. The employer must document all recruitment steps and responses before submitting the application. DOL then reviews the file and either certifies or audits the case, which can extend the timeline by a year or more.
How can I find maxillofacial surgeon jobs where the employer will sponsor a green card?
Migrate Mate lets you search specifically for maxillofacial surgeon roles at employers with documented green card sponsorship history, so you can focus your outreach on institutions already experienced with PERM filings. During interviews, ask directly whether the offer includes PERM sponsorship and at which EB category, since some employers will support only H-1B initially and defer green card filing until after a probationary period.
Can I negotiate the job offer while my employer is preparing the PERM filing?
You can negotiate your offer, but your final salary must meet or exceed the prevailing wage DOL certifies for your SOC code and location at the time of filing. The OFLC Wage Search publishes current wage levels by occupation and metro area. If your negotiated salary falls below the certified wage level your employer selects, USCIS may raise questions during the I-140 review. Confirm with your employer's immigration counsel before the offer letter is signed.
