Search Medical Assistant Jobs in New YorkMedical Assistant Jobs in New York: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies sponsor visas for medical assistants in New York?
The most active sponsors for medical assistant roles in New York tend to be large integrated health systems. NewYork-Presbyterian, Montefiore Health System, NYC Health + Hospitals, Northwell Health, and Mount Sinai Health System have all filed Labor Condition Applications for clinical support roles. Federally Qualified Health Centers across New York City also sponsor visa holders, particularly for positions in underserved community clinics.
Which visa types are most common for medical assistant roles in New York?
The H-1B visa is the most common visa for medical assistants in New York, but it requires the role to qualify as a specialty occupation, meaning the position must typically require at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field. Some employers use the TN visa for Canadian or Mexican nationals with qualifying credentials. J-1 visa exchange visitor visas are occasionally used through hospital-affiliated training programs, though they come with home-residency requirements.
Which cities in New York have the most medical assistant sponsorship jobs?
New York City accounts for the largest share of medical assistant sponsorship activity in the state, driven by the concentration of major hospital networks across Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens. Buffalo has a growing presence through Kaleida Health and Catholic Health, while Rochester's medical sector is anchored by the University of Rochester Medical Center. White Plains and other Westchester County locations also see consistent hiring through Northwell and WMCHealth.
How to find medical assistant visa sponsorship jobs in New York?
Migrate Mate is a job board built specifically for international candidates seeking visa sponsorship in the U.S. You can filter by state and role to see medical assistant positions in New York where employers have a documented history of sponsoring work visas. This is more targeted than general job searches because listings are screened for sponsorship relevance, saving time when you're navigating tight visa timelines.
What should internationally trained medical assistants know about working in New York?
New York State requires medical assistants to work under the supervision of a licensed physician or other authorized provider, but there is no state-specific MA licensure requirement. Employers in New York often prefer candidates with credentials from recognized programs such as the Certified Medical Assistant (CMA) or Registered Medical Assistant (RMA) designation. New York's prevailing wage requirements for sponsored workers are enforced strictly, and employers must document that sponsored hires are paid at or above the applicable wage level for the role and location.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored medical assistant jobs in New York?
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.
