Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Therapist Jobs
Verify your licensure transfers across states
U.S. therapy roles require state licensure, not just a degree. Check whether your Chilean clinical credentials qualify for reciprocity or endorsement in your target state before applying, since some states require supervised U.S. hours before granting a license.
Search H-1B1 Chile jobs on Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to filter therapist roles by employers with confirmed H-1B1 Chile filing history. DOL Labor Condition Application data shows which healthcare systems and group practices have sponsored Chilean nationals before, saving you from cold-applying to employers unfamiliar with the visa.
Target employers already enrolled in E-Verify
Hospitals, federally qualified health centers, and VA-affiliated practices are required to use E-Verify and handle work authorization routinely. These organizations have HR infrastructure for sponsorship, which shortens the time between your offer letter and your LCA filing.
Benchmark your wage using the OFLC Wage Search
Your employer's LCA must certify a wage at or above the DOL prevailing wage for your specific SOC code and metro area. Run the OFLC Wage Search before salary negotiations so you know the floor, not just the market rate.
Frame your specialty to match the job posting exactly
H-1B1 visa requires a specialty occupation with a direct link between your degree and the role. If your Chilean degree is in clinical psychology but the posting says licensed counselor, ask the employer to confirm the degree match in the job description before the LCA is filed.
Confirm your consulate appointment timeline at offer stage
H-1B1 Chile visa applications are processed at the U.S. consulate, not through USCIS, so your start date depends on appointment availability in Santiago. Ask your employer to account for consular wait times when setting your target start date in the offer letter.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Chilean therapist need USCIS approval to get an H-1B1 visa?
No. Unlike the H-1B, the H-1B1 Chile visa skips USCIS petition filing entirely. Your employer files a Labor Condition Application with DOL, and you apply directly at the U.S. consulate in Santiago with the certified LCA and your job offer. There is no I-129 petition and no USCIS adjudication step in the process.
How does the H-1B1 Chile visa compare to the H-1B for therapists?
The H-1B1 Chile visa has no lottery, a dedicated 1,400-visa annual cap that has never been exhausted, and consulate-only processing, which typically moves faster than USCIS adjudication. The tradeoff is that H-1B1 does not allow dual intent, meaning you can't use it to pursue a green card while on status the way some H-1B holders do.
Which therapy specialties qualify as specialty occupations under H-1B1?
Roles that require at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field qualify. Clinical social workers, licensed professional counselors, marriage and family therapists, and occupational therapists typically meet this standard. You can verify the degree requirement for your specific role using O*NET, which lists the educational requirements by occupation code.
How can I find U.S. employers who will sponsor my H-1B1 Chile therapist visa?
Migrate Mate filters job listings by employers with documented H-1B1 Chile filing history using DOL Labor Condition Application data, so you can identify healthcare organizations and therapy practices that have sponsored Chilean nationals in your occupation before, rather than spending time on employers with no sponsorship track record.
Can I renew my H-1B1 Chile visa if my employer wants to keep me on?
Yes. H-1B1 visas are issued in two-year increments with no statutory limit on renewals, as long as you maintain a qualifying job offer and your employer files a new certified LCA each cycle. Renewals also go through the consulate rather than USCIS, so the process mirrors your original application.
