Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship in Rehabilitation Aide
Verify your degree field matches the role
H-1B sponsorship for a Rehabilitation Aide role depends on the employer demonstrating specialty occupation status. A degree in kinesiology, exercise science, physical therapy, or a directly related field strengthens that case significantly more than a general health sciences credential.
Look up prevailing wages before negotiating
Your employer must certify your offered wage meets or exceeds the DOL prevailing wage for Rehabilitation Aide under your specific SOC code and worksite location. Run the OFLC Wage Search using your city and county to know what Level I through Level IV wages look like before any offer conversation.
Find sponsors through Migrate Mate's verified employer database
Target employers with a documented history of filing H-1B petitions for rehabilitation or allied health roles. Migrate Mate lists employers with verified LCA filing history by occupation and location, so you're not applying blind to companies that have never sponsored before.
Confirm each worksite gets its own LCA
If your role requires rotating between clinic locations, your employer must file a separate certified LCA for each worksite address before you work there. Rehabilitation aides working across multiple sites are a common audit trigger, so confirm your employer understands this DOL requirement upfront.
Get a formal job description in writing early
USCIS scrutinizes Rehabilitation Aide petitions more than licensed therapy roles. A detailed written job description tying every listed duty to your specific degree field gives your employer's immigration attorney the documentation needed to build a credible specialty occupation argument.
Account for cap timing in your start-date planning
H-1B visas are subject to an annual cap, and selection rules have changed recently. If you're not already in H-1B status, work backward from your desired start date with your employer so the petition timeline aligns with the cap cycle and any premium processing decision.
H-1B Visa Rehabilitation Aide: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Rehabilitation Aide role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Not automatically. The H-1B specialty occupation standard requires the position to normally require at least a bachelor's degree in a specific related field. Rehabilitation Aide roles that are structured around degree-level duties in kinesiology, exercise science, or physical therapy can qualify, but only if the employer frames the position that way and can document why a degree in that field is a genuine job requirement, not a preference.
Which degree fields support an H-1B petition for a Rehabilitation Aide position?
Degrees in kinesiology, exercise science, physical therapy, occupational therapy, sports medicine, or health sciences with a rehabilitation concentration are the strongest fits. A general business or unrelated science degree will not support the petition on its own. USCIS will look for a direct relationship between the specific degree field and the core duties listed in the job description.
How do I find employers who have actually sponsored H-1B visas for Rehabilitation Aide roles?
LCA disclosure data published by the DOL shows which employers have filed H-1B Labor Condition Applications by occupation code. Migrate Mate surfaces this data by employer and role, so you can identify hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and outpatient clinics that have a real history of sponsoring this type of position rather than relying on job postings alone.
What happens to my H-1B status if my employer closes a clinic location where I was assigned?
Your H-1B status is tied to the certified LCA for each specific worksite. If that location closes and you're reassigned, your employer must file a new certified LCA for the replacement worksite before you begin working there. Working at an uncertified location, even temporarily, puts your status at risk and can create compliance problems for your employer under DOL rules.
Can I transfer my H-1B to a new rehabilitation employer mid-status?
Yes, through the H-1B portability rules under AC21, you can begin working for a new employer once they file an H-1B transfer petition on your behalf, without waiting for approval, as long as your previous petition was properly maintained. Your new employer must still file a fresh LCA for your role and worksite and submit the I-129 petition to USCIS before your first day.
