Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Assistant Professor of Nursing Jobs
Verify your nursing credentials transfer cleanly
Foreign nursing degrees must clear CGFNS credentialing before USCIS accepts them as equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's or master's in nursing. Start the evaluation early. Delays here push back your LCA filing and your start date.
Target R2 and regional universities first
Large research universities receive high H-1B demand, but regional and teaching-focused institutions often have cap-exempt status through hospital affiliations. These employers can file your H-1B year-round without waiting for the annual lottery cycle.
Search verified sponsoring employers on Migrate Mate
Migrate Mate lists nursing faculty employers with confirmed LCA filing history, searchable by state and role type. That filters out postings from institutions that have never sponsored, saving weeks of outreach to HR departments with no sponsorship process in place.
Confirm NCLEX licensure requirements by state before applying
Most nursing faculty roles require a valid RN license in the state where you'll teach, even for non-clinical positions. Some states have reciprocity under the Nurse Licensure Compact; others require a separate application. Confirm before accepting an offer.
Ask HR whether the institution covers PERM costs
Many universities include green card sponsorship in faculty employment packages, but PERM labor certification timelines can run two or more years. Negotiate who bears the PERM filing costs and attorney fees before you sign an offer letter, not after.
Use OFLC Wage Search to benchmark your offer
Your employer's LCA must certify wages at or above the prevailing wage for nursing faculty in that metro area. Cross-check the offered salary against OFLC Wage Search using the correct SOC category before the LCA is filed so you can flag any shortfall early.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which visa types do U.S. universities typically use to sponsor assistant professors of nursing?
Most universities use the H-1B visa for initial sponsorship because nursing faculty roles meet the specialty occupation standard, requiring at least a master's degree in a directly related field. Institutions affiliated with hospitals or research centers may qualify as cap-exempt employers, letting them file H-1B petitions outside the annual lottery. TN is an option for Canadian and Mexican nationals if the role fits the USMCA profession list. Many universities also initiate EB-2 or EB-3 green card sponsorship for tenure-track appointments.
Does an assistant professor of nursing role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes. USCIS consistently recognizes nursing faculty positions as specialty occupations because the role normally requires at minimum a master's degree in nursing or a closely related clinical field. A bachelor's in nursing alone may not be sufficient if the position description specifies graduate-level preparation, so make sure your degree aligns with the specific duties listed in the job posting and the LCA job title.
Can I work as a nursing faculty member without a U.S. RN license on an H-1B?
It depends on the role's duties. If the position involves direct clinical supervision of students in patient-care settings, most state boards and university credentialing offices will require an active state RN license regardless of visa status. Purely didactic or simulation-lab roles sometimes have more flexibility, but confirm with the institution's HR and academic credentialing office before assuming licensure is optional.
How long does it take for a university to sponsor an assistant professor of nursing for a green card?
The PERM labor certification process alone typically takes one to two years from initial recruitment to DOL certification. After PERM approval, the employer files an I-140 petition with USCIS. For most nationalities outside India and China, priority dates move quickly at the EB-2 and EB-3 levels for university-sponsored cases. Indian and Chinese nationals face significant backlogs and should factor multi-year waits into their planning.
Where can I find assistant professor of nursing jobs that offer visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate lists nursing faculty positions from employers with verified sponsorship history, so you can focus on institutions that have an established process rather than guessing from a standard job posting. Filtering by role and location helps you identify which universities are actively filing for nursing faculty in the states where you're licensed or eligible for licensure.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Assistant Professor of Nursing jobs?
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.
