Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Physical Therapy Technician
Verify your credential equivalency early
If your physical therapy or kinesiology degree is from outside the U.S., get a credential evaluation from a NACES-approved agency before applying. USCIS requires proof that your degree is equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's in a directly related field.
Target employers with rehab department infrastructure
Hospital systems and large outpatient rehab networks are far more likely to have in-house HR processes for H-1B filings than small private practices. Filter your search by employer type to avoid wasting time on clinics that have never sponsored before.
Search verified sponsoring employers on Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to find Physical Therapy Technician roles at employers with confirmed H-1B LCA filing history. This filters out postings where sponsorship is uncertain and connects you directly with employers already familiar with the process.
Confirm the role meets specialty occupation criteria
Not every PT Technician posting qualifies as a specialty occupation. Ask the employer whether the role requires a bachelor's degree in a specific field as a minimum. If the posting says 'preferred' rather than 'required,' the H-1B petition is at risk of an RFE.
Check prevailing wage before negotiating your offer
Your employer's LCA must certify a wage at or above the DOL prevailing wage for your role and location. Look up the applicable wage level using the OFLC Wage Search before you get to the offer stage so you know the floor.
Clarify filing timing relative to the cap lottery
H-1B cap-subject petitions can only be filed after USCIS selects your registration in April, with an October 1 start date. Ask your prospective employer whether they are cap-exempt, which would allow filing and starting at any point in the year.

Does a Physical Therapy Technician role qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
It depends on how the employer defines the role. USCIS requires that the position normally requires at least a bachelor's degree in a specific related field. If the job description lists a degree in kinesiology, exercise science, or a related discipline as a minimum requirement, it can qualify. Roles that accept any degree or no degree will not meet the specialty occupation standard.
Which employers sponsor H-1B visas for Physical Therapy Technicians?
Hospital systems, large outpatient rehabilitation chains, and university medical centers are the most active sponsors for this role because they have dedicated HR and legal infrastructure for H-1B filings. Migrate Mate shows Physical Therapy Technician postings filtered by employers with documented H-1B LCA filing history, so you can focus on roles where sponsorship is already established.
What SOC code is used for Physical Therapy Technician H-1B petitions?
Most H-1B petitions for Physical Therapy Technician roles are filed under SOC code 31-2021, which covers physical therapist assistants and aides. The specific code affects the prevailing wage level your employer must certify on the LCA. You can review the occupational classification in detail through O*NET to confirm your role aligns with this code before the employer files.
Can I start working before October 1 if my H-1B is approved?
Not for cap-subject petitions. If your H-1B is selected in the April lottery and approved, your earliest authorized start date is October 1 of that fiscal year. Some employers, including many hospitals and nonprofits affiliated with higher education, qualify as cap-exempt under USCIS rules and can file and start at any time, bypassing the October 1 restriction entirely.
Does my foreign physical therapy or kinesiology degree qualify for H-1B sponsorship?
A foreign bachelor's degree in a relevant field can qualify, but USCIS requires a formal credential evaluation showing it is equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree. Use a NACES-member evaluation service and get the evaluation completed before you start applying. Without it, your employer cannot confidently include your education credentials in the I-129 petition.
