Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Care Coordinator
Verify your degree meets specialty occupation
Care Coordinator roles sit on the specialty occupation borderline. USCIS requires the position to normally require a specific bachelor's degree, so confirm your employer's job description explicitly states a field-specific degree requirement, not just a preference.
Search LCA filings before applying
Use Migrate Mate to filter Care Coordinator roles by verified DOL Labor Condition Application history, so you're targeting employers who have already filed for this title rather than guessing at sponsorship willingness.
Check prevailing wage before negotiating
Use the OFLC Wage Search to look up the prevailing wage for Care Coordinator roles in your target metro area. Your offered salary must meet or exceed the Level I-IV threshold tied to your experience, and this figure varies significantly by geography.
Target employers enrolled in E-Verify
Health systems and managed care organizations required to use E-Verify for federal contracts are already set up for work authorization verification, which typically signals a more established immigration compliance process for H-1B filings.
Clarify the SOC code your employer intends to use
Care Coordinators are filed under different Standard Occupational Classification codes depending on the employer's framing, most commonly under Health Education Specialists or Social Workers. The SOC code affects prevailing wage level, so confirm it before the LCA is filed.
Request the LCA before your first day
Your employer must post the certified LCA at the worksite for ten consecutive business days before filing the I-129 with USCIS. Confirm this step is complete and request a copy of the certified LCA for your own records prior to starting work.
H-1B Visa Care Coordinator: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Care Coordinator role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
It depends on how the employer defines the role. USCIS evaluates whether the position normally requires a specific bachelor's degree in a directly related field, not just any degree. Care Coordinator roles tied to case management, discharge planning, or clinical coordination in a healthcare setting are more likely to qualify than those framed as administrative coordination. The job description language is critical.
Which employers sponsor H-1B visas for Care Coordinator positions?
Large health systems, integrated managed care organizations, and hospital networks are the most consistent H-1B sponsors for this title. Smaller outpatient clinics or non-profit community health organizations file less frequently, though it does happen. Migrate Mate shows verified LCA filing history by employer and job title so you can identify which organizations have actively sponsored Care Coordinator roles.
How does the H-1B cap lottery affect Care Coordinator job seekers?
Most Care Coordinator roles fall under cap-subject H-1B, meaning your petition must be selected in the annual lottery before USCIS can adjudicate it. Registration opens each March for an October 1 start date. If you're currently on OPT or another nonimmigrant status, cap-gap rules may let you continue working while your petition is pending after the lottery selection.
Can my employer change my job duties after my H-1B is approved for Care Coordinator?
Material changes to your job duties, location, or salary require your employer to file an amended H-1B petition with USCIS before the changes take effect. Moving to a different worksite in a new metropolitan statistical area almost always triggers an amended filing and a new LCA, even if your title stays the same. Don't rely on verbal reassurances from HR.
What documentation should I prepare to support an H-1B petition for this role?
You'll need degree certificates and transcripts showing a field-specific bachelor's degree, a detailed job description that establishes specialty occupation, and any licensure relevant to your state's care coordination requirements. O*NET occupation data for your SOC code can support the specialty occupation argument. Your employer's attorney typically assembles the I-129, but you supply the academic and professional documentation.
