Who We Are
We are the first publicly-traded biotech or pharmaceutical company to take the form of a public benefit corporation. Our public benefit purpose is to provide a brighter future for patients through the development of novel pharmaceutical therapies; and technologies that expand the availability of transplantable organs.
United Therapeutics (Nasdaq: UTHR) seeks to travel down the corridors of indifference to develop treatments for rare, deadly diseases. We were founded in 1996 by a family seeking a cure for their daughter’s pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Today, we have six FDA-approved therapies that treat PAH, pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD) and neuroblastoma, a rare pediatric cancer. Our near-term pipeline seeks to develop additional therapies for PAH and pulmonary fibrosis (PF).
The cure for end-stage life-threatening diseases like PAH, PH-ILD, PF, and many others is an organ transplant, but only a small percentage of donated organs are available to address the vast need. For this reason, we are working to create manufactured organs to address the shortage of kidneys, hearts, lungs, and livers available for transplant. We believe an unlimited supply of tolerable, transplantable organs will eliminate the transplant waiting list and cure end-stage organ diseases for which transplant is not currently an option.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship in Pharmaceutical Sales Representative
Document your degree field precisely
PERM requires your degree to align with the specific role. A chemistry or biology degree supports a pharmaceutical sales position more directly than a general business degree, so obtain official transcripts and translations before engaging any employer.
Target mid-size specialty pharma employers
Large pharmaceutical companies sponsor more frequently, but mid-size specialty and biotech distributors often face thinner applicant pools for PERM recruitment, which shortens the time employers spend on mandatory advertising steps before filing.
Verify employer E-Verify enrollment before accepting offers
Any employer sponsoring your green card through PERM will eventually become your permanent employer of record. Confirm E-Verify participation early, since unenrolled employers face compliance gaps that can stall or invalidate your I-140 petition later.
Search sponsoring employers using Migrate Mate
Filter pharmaceutical sales roles by green card sponsorship history on Migrate Mate to identify companies actively filing PERM applications in this occupational category, so you prioritize outreach to employers who have already committed to this pathway.
Benchmark your offer against DOL prevailing wages
Your employer must pay at least the prevailing wage for your location and experience level, certified by DOL through the PERM process. Use the OFLC Wage Search to verify your offer meets the required wage level before signing.
Request an EB-3 timeline projection during offer negotiation
Ask the employer's immigration counsel for a written estimate covering PERM recruitment, I-140 filing, and your priority date under EB-3. For most countries outside India and China, EB-3 dates are current, meaning no extended wait after I-140 approval.
Green Card Pharmaceutical Sales Representative: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Pharmaceutical Sales Representative role qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 green card sponsorship?
Most pharmaceutical sales positions qualify under EB-3 as skilled worker or professional roles, typically requiring a bachelor's degree. EB-2 applies if the role is defined as requiring an advanced degree or the candidate holds strong credentials that justify the classification. Your employer's immigration attorney determines which category fits based on the actual job requirements stated in the PERM application.
How does the PERM green card process differ from H-1B sponsorship for pharmaceutical sales roles?
PERM-based green card sponsorship leads to permanent residency rather than a renewable temporary status, and EB-3 has no annual lottery. The PERM process requires the employer to conduct a supervised DOL recruitment campaign to demonstrate no qualified U.S. workers are available, which adds three to six months before the I-140 is filed. H-1B visa is faster to initiate but subject to the annual cap and lottery uncertainty.
Which pharmaceutical employers sponsor green cards for sales representatives?
Both large integrated pharmaceutical companies and mid-size specialty biotech distributors file PERM applications for sales roles. Employers who already manage foreign national employees in other functions are more likely to have in-house immigration infrastructure. Use Migrate Mate to identify companies with documented green card sponsorship history in this occupation before submitting your application.
How long does it take to get a green card as a sponsored Pharmaceutical Sales Representative?
For most nationalities, the timeline from PERM filing to green card approval runs approximately two to four years, covering DOL recruitment, I-140 adjudication, and adjustment of status or consular processing. Nationals of India and China face longer waits due to per-country EB-3 backlogs tracked monthly in the Visa Bulletin published by USCIS.
Can I change jobs after my employer starts the PERM process?
Changing employers resets the PERM process entirely, since the labor certification is tied to a specific employer and role. Once your I-140 is approved, portability rules allow you to move to a similar occupation after 180 days without losing your priority date. Consult your employer's immigration counsel before accepting any counter-offer or new position while your petition is pending.
