Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Care Assistant
Verify your credential meets specialty occupation
H-1B eligibility for Care Assistant roles hinges on whether your degree directly relates to the job duties. Check the O*NET profile for your specific SOC code to confirm the typical education requirement listed aligns with your credentials.
Target employers with LCA filing history
Search Migrate Mate to filter Care Assistant openings by employers who have filed Labor Condition Applications for this role. Past LCA filings signal that the employer understands H-1B requirements and has sponsored workers in similar direct care positions before.
Ask about E-Verify enrollment before accepting
H-1B employers must be enrolled in E-Verify to legally verify your work authorization. Confirm enrollment status during the offer stage, not after you've signed, so you don't lose your 60-day grace period waiting on a fix.
Confirm the prevailing wage tier in your metro
Care Assistant wages vary significantly by geography. Use the OFLC Wage Search to look up the Level I and Level II prevailing wages for your target city before negotiating, so you know whether an employer's offer meets the DOL minimum for your location.
Document supervised clinical hours for the petition
USCIS frequently issues Requests for Evidence on Care Assistant petitions questioning specialty occupation status. Gather employer letters, duty statements, and degree transcripts that show your role requires degree-level clinical judgment, not general caregiving tasks.
File I-129 at least six months before start date
H-1B petitions can be filed up to six months before your intended start date. Coordinating this timeline with your employer early prevents gaps in authorization, especially if you're transitioning off OPT or a previous employer's H-1B.
H-1B Visa Care Assistant: Frequently Asked Questions
Do Care Assistant jobs qualify for H-1B sponsorship?
A Care Assistant role qualifies for H-1B sponsorship only if the position requires at least a bachelor's degree in a specific related field, such as health sciences, nursing, or social work, meeting USCIS's specialty occupation standard. Roles where any bachelor's degree is accepted, or where no degree is required, typically don't qualify. The employer must document that degree-level knowledge is necessary to perform the specific duties of the role.
Which types of employers sponsor H-1B visas for Care Assistants?
Long-term care facilities, home health agencies, hospital systems, and rehabilitation centers are the most common H-1B sponsors for Care Assistant roles. Larger healthcare networks are more likely to have established immigration programs and HR teams familiar with LCA filings through DOL. You can browse Care Assistant openings from verified H-1B-sponsoring employers on Migrate Mate, filtered by employers with active LCA filing history in this occupation.
What documents should I prepare before applying for H-1B-sponsored Care Assistant roles?
Prepare certified degree transcripts, a credential evaluation if your degree is from outside the U.S., professional licenses relevant to your care role such as a state CNA or HHA certification, and a detailed letter from a current or previous employer describing your clinical duties. USCIS scrutinizes Care Assistant petitions closely, so documentation showing degree-level judgment in your daily responsibilities strengthens your case significantly.
Can my employer file an H-1B petition for a Care Assistant role mid-year?
Yes, cap-exempt employers such as nonprofit healthcare systems affiliated with universities or research hospitals can file H-1B petitions year-round with no lottery. Standard for-profit care employers must file during the regular cap season, with a start date no earlier than October 1. If you're currently on OPT and your employer misses the cap window, a cap-gap extension through USCIS may bridge the authorization gap until October 1.
What happens to my H-1B status if I change Care Assistant employers?
H-1B portability under AC21 allows you to start working for a new employer once your transfer petition is filed with USCIS, without waiting for approval, as long as your current H-1B has been approved for at least 180 days. Your new employer must file a fresh LCA with DOL and submit a new I-129 petition. Confirm the new employer is E-Verify enrolled before your first day with them.
