Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Home Health Nurse
Verify your RN license transfers across states
Most home health employers operate across multiple states. Confirm your RN license covers every state where you'll see patients before the LCA is filed, since the LCA pins your worksite location and wage level.
Target home health agencies over solo practices
Large home health networks and Medicare-certified agencies file H-1B petitions far more regularly than independent practices. Search Migrate Mate to filter for employers with verified H-1B LCA filing history specific to nursing roles.
Confirm the BSN requirement before applying
USCIS expects a direct relationship between your degree field and the job. A BSN satisfies the specialty occupation standard cleanly. An ADN paired with a non-nursing bachelor's degree can trigger an RFE, so clarify this with your prospective employer early.
Check prevailing wage levels using OFLC Wage Search
Home health nursing wages vary significantly by county, not just state. Run the OFLC Wage Search for SOC 29-1141 at your exact worksite zip code before your offer letter is finalized, so the LCA wage meets DOL minimums from the start.
Ask employers about cap-exempt filing eligibility
Some home health agencies contract with nonprofit hospitals or federally qualified health centers, which can qualify them as cap-exempt H-1B filers. That means no lottery and year-round filing. Ask your recruiter whether the agency has any cap-exempt affiliations before accepting an offer.
Time your transfer during your H-1B validity window
If you're moving from a hospital to a home health role on an existing H-1B, your new employer can file a transfer petition using H-1B portability once you've completed 180 days with your current sponsor. Don't resign before the transfer petition is receipted.
H-1B Visa Home Health Nurse: Frequently Asked Questions
Does home health nursing qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes. USCIS treats registered nursing under SOC code 29-1141 as a specialty occupation when the employer requires a bachelor's degree in nursing as a minimum qualification. The key is the job posting and offer letter explicitly stating a BSN requirement. If the posting says a degree is preferred but not required, the petition is at higher risk of an RFE.
Which employers sponsor H-1B visas for home health nurses?
Medicare-certified home health agencies, large regional nursing networks, and home health divisions of hospital systems are the most consistent H-1B sponsors in this space. Smaller independent agencies rarely have the infrastructure to manage the filing process. Migrate Mate lets you search verified employers with LCA filing history for nursing roles, so you can focus your applications where sponsorship is already established.
Can my H-1B cover multiple patient locations across different counties?
Home health work often spans multiple worksites, which creates an LCA compliance issue. Your employer must file an LCA for each metropolitan statistical area where you regularly work. If you're assigned patients in counties outside the original LCA's area, your employer needs to either amend the petition or file a new LCA. Confirm your employer has a process for this before accepting the role.
What happens to my H-1B status if my home health agency loses a Medicare contract?
If your employer loses a major contract and terminates your position, you enter a 60-day grace period to find a new sponsor, change status, or depart the U.S. Your employer is also obligated to pay for your return transportation to your home country if they terminate you before your H-1B period ends. Start a transfer petition as soon as you receive notice of termination.
Do I need CGFNS certification to get H-1B sponsorship as a foreign-trained nurse?
CGFNS certification is required for state RN licensure in many states, not by USCIS directly. You can't work as an RN in the U.S. without a valid state license, and most states require CGFNS or VisaScreen completion for internationally educated nurses. Your H-1B petition can be filed while CGFNS is pending, but you can't begin work until your state license is active.
