Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship in Transition Of Care
Align your credentials with PERM requirements
PERM requires your degree and clinical experience to match the job description exactly. If your foreign care coordination credentials differ from U.S. equivalents, get a credential evaluation from a NACES-member agency before your employer files.
Target health systems with active PERM filings
Large hospital networks, integrated health systems, and post-acute care organizations file PERM petitions far more regularly than small clinics. Search DOL PERM disclosure data to confirm a specific employer has recent filing history in care coordination or case management roles.
Use Migrate Mate to filter green card sponsors
Many Transition of Care jobs don't advertise PERM sponsorship in the posting. Migrate Mate filters employers by verified green card sponsorship history so you can target roles where the filing infrastructure already exists.
Clarify the EB-2 versus EB-3 track before accepting an offer
If your role requires only a bachelor's degree, your employer will likely file under EB-3. Confirm this during negotiations, because your priority date category affects your wait time, especially if you're from a high-backlog country.
Verify the prevailing wage before the employer files the LCA
DOL requires your offered wage to meet the prevailing wage for your occupation and location. Check the OFLC Wage Search for your job title and ZIP code so you can flag any discrepancy before the Labor Condition Application is submitted.
Understand that PERM recruitment can delay your start date
DOL requires employers to complete a mandatory recruitment period before certifying PERM. This process typically runs 60 to 90 days and must finish before the I-140 is filed, so build that timeline into your employment negotiation.
Green Card Transition Of Care: Frequently Asked Questions
Do Transition of Care roles qualify for employment-based green card sponsorship?
Yes. Transition of Care coordinators typically qualify under EB-3 as skilled workers or professionals when the role requires a bachelor's degree in nursing, social work, or a related health field. Candidates with a master's degree or specialized credentials may qualify under EB-2. Eligibility depends on the specific job duties, educational requirements in the offer letter, and DOL PERM certification.
How does PERM green card sponsorship differ from H-1B for this role?
H-1B visa is a temporary nonimmigrant visa with an annual lottery cap, while PERM leads to permanent residency with no lottery. The EB-3 category has no annual numerical cap at the petition level, though country-based backlogs can extend wait times for nationals from India and China. PERM sponsorship also locks in a priority date that protects your place in line even if you change employers under AC21 portability.
Which employers are most likely to sponsor green cards for Transition of Care positions?
Integrated health systems, academic medical centers, and large post-acute or home health networks are the most consistent PERM sponsors for care coordination roles. These organizations have in-house immigration teams or established relationships with immigration counsel. You can confirm an employer's filing history by reviewing DOL PERM disclosure data, or use Migrate Mate to filter directly for employers with verified green card sponsorship in healthcare roles.
What does the PERM process look like for a Transition of Care role?
Your employer files a prevailing wage request with DOL, then conducts a mandatory recruitment period of 60 to 90 days to document that no qualified U.S. workers were available. After DOL certifies the PERM application, your employer files an I-140 immigrant petition with USCIS. Once that is approved and a visa number becomes available for your priority date and country of birth, you can file for adjustment of status or apply for an immigrant visa at a U.S. consulate.
Can I use O*NET to confirm my job qualifies as a specialty occupation for EB sponsorship?
O*NET provides occupational profiles that list typical education requirements and job duties for care coordination roles. Employers and immigration attorneys use this data to support PERM job descriptions and EB-2 specialty occupation arguments. Checking the O*NET profile for your specific job code before your employer drafts the PERM application helps you verify that the stated requirements are consistent with DOL occupational standards, which can reduce the risk of an audit.
