Tips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as an Occupational Health Nurse

Verify your NCLEX and state licensure first

Your RN license must be active in the state where the job is located before most employers will start the H-1B filing process. If you hold a foreign nursing credential, check whether your state accepts CGFNS certification as a pathway to licensure.

Target manufacturers and large self-insured employers

Corporate headquarters for automotive, aerospace, and logistics companies frequently employ occupational health nurses in-house and have established immigration programs. These employers file LCAs regularly and are more likely to have internal HR processes already set up for sponsorship.

Search verified sponsorship history on Migrate Mate

Use Migrate Mate to browse occupational health nurse roles at employers with confirmed LCA filing history. This filters out job postings from companies that have never sponsored, saving you time before you apply.

Confirm your degree field matches the specialty occupation definition

USCIS requires a bachelor's degree in a directly related field for H-1B specialty occupation status. A BSN typically satisfies this, but an associate degree in nursing with a separate bachelor's in an unrelated field may not. Review the O*NET profile for this role to understand the degree requirements USCIS will evaluate.

Ask your employer to run a prevailing wage check early

Before the LCA is filed with DOL, the employer must certify your offered wage meets the prevailing wage for your location and role level. Use the OFLC Wage Search to look up the Level I and Level II wages for your metro area so you can negotiate with realistic numbers.

Align your offer letter with LCA timing requirements

The LCA must be certified by DOL before the I-129 petition is filed with USCIS, and it must reflect your actual work location. If you'll be splitting time between facilities, confirm the employer lists all worksites on the LCA to avoid compliance issues after approval.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does an occupational health nurse role qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?

Yes, in most cases. USCIS evaluates whether the role normally requires a bachelor's degree in a directly related field. For occupational health nurses, a BSN is the standard qualifying degree. If the job description lists an associate degree as acceptable, the employer will need to document why the specific position requires at least a bachelor's level of knowledge to avoid an RFE.

Which visa types can sponsor occupational health nurses?

H-1B is the most common path for employer-sponsored occupational health nurses, requiring a specialty occupation degree and an employer to file a Labor Condition Application and I-129 petition. If you're on F-1 OPT or STEM OPT, your employer can hire you directly without filing a petition, provided the role relates to your degree. EB-2 and EB-3 green card paths are also available once you've secured an employer willing to go through PERM labor certification.

How do I find employers who actively sponsor occupational health nurses?

Migrate Mate lists employers with verified LCA filing history for nursing and occupational health roles, so you can focus your applications on companies that have already committed to sponsorship. Large manufacturers, hospital systems, and utilities tend to be the most active sponsors for this specialty.

Does my foreign nursing credential count toward the H-1B degree requirement?

USCIS accepts foreign degrees if they're equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree in a related field. A credential evaluation from a NACES-member organization can establish equivalency. If your degree is a three-year program, some evaluators may find it equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's, but the outcome varies by institution and evaluator, so get the evaluation before accepting an offer.

Can an occupational health nurse qualify for a TN visa?

Yes, registered nurses are on the USMCA profession list, which means Canadian and Mexican nationals can apply for TN visa status. You'll need proof of RN licensure in the state where you'll work, a job offer letter, and evidence of your nursing degree or diploma. TN status is valid for up to three years and is renewable, but it doesn't allow you to pursue a green card simultaneously.

What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Occupational Health Nurse 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.
