Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Nursing Jobs
Pass the NCLEX before starting any visa process
No U.S. employer can hire you as a nurse without NCLEX certification. Pass the NCLEX-RN or NCLEX-PN first - this is the non-negotiable prerequisite before any visa petition or job placement can move forward.
Get your VisaScreen certificate from CGFNS
The Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools (CGFNS) issues the VisaScreen certificate required for most occupational visas for healthcare workers entering the U.S. Start this process early because it includes credential evaluation, English proficiency testing, and license verification.
Understand that EB-3 is the most common path
Most internationally educated nurses come to the U.S. through the EB-3 green card category, where an employer files a PERM labor certification on your behalf. This is a direct path to permanent residency, but the timeline from start to employment can take 2-4 years depending on your country of origin.
Work with healthcare staffing agencies that recruit internationally
AMN Healthcare, Aya Healthcare, and Cross Country Healthcare actively recruit nurses from abroad and handle the visa sponsorship process. These agencies partner with hospitals nationwide and can place you in facilities with immediate staffing needs.
Prepare for country-specific visa backlogs
Nurses from the Philippines and India may face longer wait times due to per-country visa limits in the EB-3 category. Check the current visa bulletin on travel.state.gov to understand where your priority date falls and plan your timeline accordingly.

Find Nursing JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Do I need to pass the NCLEX before getting a nursing job with visa sponsorship?
Yes. The NCLEX-RN is required for U.S. nursing licensure and most employers will not begin the sponsorship process until you've passed it. Some recruitment agencies cover the cost of NCLEX preparation and exam fees as part of their sponsorship programs, so it's worth exploring those options before paying out of pocket.
What visa do most international nurses get sponsored for?
Most international nurses are sponsored through the EB-3 green card pathway under the Schedule A shortage occupation designation, which skips the standard labor certification process and leads directly to permanent residence. Some specialty nursing roles (nurse practitioners, CRNAs) may qualify for H-1B, and Canadian/Mexican nurses may be eligible for TN visas.
What credentials do I need besides NCLEX to work as a nurse in the U.S.?
You'll typically need a VisaScreen certificate from CGFNS International, which verifies your nursing education, licensing, and English proficiency. Most states also require proof of English proficiency through IELTS or TOEFL, and your foreign nursing degree must be evaluated for U.S. equivalency. Requirements vary by state, so check the Board of Nursing for the state you're applying in.
How long does the nursing visa sponsorship process take?
From start to arrival, expect 6 months to 4+ years depending on your visa type and country of origin. The EB-3 pathway involves I-140 petition filing and waiting for your priority date to become current, which can add significant time for applicants from countries with high demand. Preparing your NCLEX and VisaScreen credentials early can prevent unnecessary delays.
Can I bring my family when I come to the U.S. as a sponsored nurse?
Yes. If you're sponsored through the EB-3 green card pathway, your spouse and unmarried children under 21 receive green cards as your dependents. Many nurse recruitment agencies handle the family visa paperwork as part of their sponsorship programs, and your spouse will be eligible to work in the U.S. upon arrival.
How to find Nursing jobs with visa sponsorship?
To find nursing jobs with visa sponsorship, use Migrate Mate, which specializes in connecting international healthcare professionals with sponsored opportunities. Focus on hospitals, aged care facilities, and healthcare networks that commonly sponsor H-1B, EB-3, or skilled worker visas for registered nurses. These employers actively recruit internationally due to nursing shortages and are familiar with visa sponsorship processes.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Nursing jobs?
When a U.S. employer sponsors a foreign worker for a work visa, they are legally required to pay at least the "prevailing wage", the average wage paid to workers in the same occupation, in the same geographic area, with similar experience. This is set by the Department of Labor to prevent employers from hiring foreign workers at below-market rates. The prevailing wage varies significantly by role, location, and experience level. For example, a nursing in Texas will have a different prevailing wage than the same role in a smaller state. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search Page.
