Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Athletic Trainer Jobs
Verify your degree meets specialty occupation standards
Athletic trainer roles require a bachelor's degree in athletic training, kinesiology, or a closely related field. Pull your O*NET occupation profile for SOC code 29-9091 to confirm the degree requirement before any employer conversation.
Target employers already familiar with H-1B1 Chile
University athletic departments, professional sports organizations, and hospital-based sports medicine clinics are the employer types most likely to have processed nonimmigrant work visas before. Cold outreach explaining that H-1B1 Chile requires no lottery and no USCIS petition tends to reduce initial employer hesitation.
Search H-1B1 Chile athletic trainer jobs on Migrate Mate
Migrate Mate filters job listings by H-1B1 Chile sponsorship eligibility, showing you athletic trainer roles at employers with verified sponsorship history so you're not guessing which organizations will support your visa.
Get your BOC certification confirmed as U.S.-equivalent
The Board of Certification credential is the U.S. standard for athletic trainers, but Chilean professionals holding equivalent credentials need to document the equivalency clearly. Request an official credential evaluation and confirm your certification status before the employer files the Labor Condition Application with DOL.
Confirm the employer's LCA wage meets prevailing wage
Your employer must file an LCA certifying your offered wage meets or exceeds the DOL prevailing wage for athletic trainers in their location. Use the OFLC Wage Search to look up the correct wage level before the offer letter is finalized.
Book your consulate appointment after LCA certification
Unlike H-1B, H-1B1 Chile is processed directly at a U.S. consulate in Chile with no USCIS petition required. Schedule your DS-160 and interview only after the employer's LCA is certified, since you'll need the certified LCA number to complete your application.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does athletic trainer qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B1 Chile?
Yes. Athletic trainer is classified under SOC code 29-9091 and requires at minimum a bachelor's degree in athletic training or a directly related field such as kinesiology or exercise science. USCIS and DOL both recognize this as a specialty occupation, which is the core eligibility requirement for the H-1B1 Chile visa.
How does the H-1B1 Chile visa differ from H-1B for athletic trainers?
The H-1B1 Chile visa skips the lottery entirely, has no USCIS petition filing requirement, and is processed at the consulate in Chile. The annual cap is 1,400 visas and has never been exhausted. H-1B requires lottery selection, a USCIS-approved petition, and significantly longer processing. For Chilean nationals, H-1B1 Chile is almost always the faster and more predictable path.
Which types of U.S. employers sponsor athletic trainers on H-1B1 Chile visas?
University and college athletic departments, professional sports teams, hospital sports medicine programs, and physical rehabilitation clinics are the most common sponsors. These settings already employ credentialed athletic trainers as full-time staff and are more accustomed to supporting work visa sponsorship than smaller private practices or fitness facilities.
How do I find athletic trainer jobs that offer H-1B1 Chile visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for this search. It surfaces athletic trainer job listings filtered by H-1B1 Chile sponsorship eligibility, so you can identify employers who have already committed to supporting the visa process rather than cold-approaching organizations that may be unfamiliar with H-1B1 Chile requirements.
Can I renew my H-1B1 Chile visa while working as an athletic trainer in the U.S.?
H-1B1 Chile is granted in one-year increments and renewed through the consulate in Chile, not through USCIS. Your employer must file a new certified LCA for each renewal period. There's no statutory limit on the number of renewals, so athletic trainers can maintain status indefinitely as long as they hold a qualifying job offer and their employer supports each renewal cycle.
