Licensed Practical Nurse Jobs in Illinois: Frequently Asked Questions

Which companies sponsor visas for licensed practical nurses in Illinois?

Large health systems are the most active sponsors for licensed practical nurses in Illinois. Northwestern Medicine, Advocate Aurora Health, Rush University Medical Center, and Sinai Chicago have all sponsored LPN roles. Long-term care operators such as Aperion Care and Symphony Care Network also appear in Department of Labor LCA filings for Illinois LPN positions. Sponsorship availability varies by facility and staffing needs at the time of hiring.

Which visa types are most common for licensed practical nurse roles in Illinois?

The H-1B is rarely used for LPN roles because LPN positions do not consistently meet the specialty occupation standard requiring a bachelor's degree in a specific field. EB-3 immigrant visas are the most common pathway, as employers can sponsor LPNs for permanent residence through PERM labor certification. Some facilities also use the TN visa for Canadian and Mexican nationals who hold qualifying credentials and meet Illinois licensure requirements.

Which cities in Illinois have the most licensed practical nurse sponsorship jobs?

Chicago and its surrounding suburbs account for the largest share of LPN sponsorship activity in Illinois, driven by the concentration of hospitals, specialty clinics, and long-term care facilities in the metro area. Rockford, Peoria, and Springfield also have consistent demand, particularly in skilled nursing facilities and community health settings. Rural areas across central and southern Illinois see sporadic openings, often tied to critical staffing shortages.

How to find licensed practical nurse visa sponsorship jobs in Illinois?

Migrate Mate is built specifically for international job seekers looking for visa sponsorship roles in the U.S. You can filter by state and job title to find licensed practical nurse positions in Illinois where employers have an established history of sponsoring work visas. This is more efficient than searching general job boards, since every listing is screened for sponsorship relevance rather than relying on self-reported employer claims.

Are there any state-specific requirements for licensed practical nurses seeking sponsorship in Illinois?

Illinois requires LPNs to hold an active license issued by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. Foreign-trained nurses typically need to have their credentials evaluated and may need to pass the NCLEX-PN before an Illinois license is issued. Employers sponsoring through EB-3 must pay the prevailing wage as determined by the Department of Labor for the specific county and job classification, which differs between Chicago metro facilities and downstate employers.

What is the prevailing wage for sponsored licensed practical nurse jobs in Illinois?

U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
