Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Professor of Nursing Jobs
Verify your credentials meet specialty occupation standards
A nursing professorship typically requires an MSN or DNP at minimum, and many research-focused roles require a PhD. Confirm your degree is from an accredited institution and get a credential evaluation completed before applying, since employers will need this for the LCA filing.
Target academic medical centers with cap-exempt status
Universities and affiliated teaching hospitals are often H-1B cap-exempt, meaning your petition can be filed any time of year without waiting for the annual lottery. Focus your search on institutions with ACGME-accredited programs or direct university affiliation to access this pathway.
Search verified sponsoring employers on Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to browse nursing faculty roles at universities with confirmed H-1B LCA filing history, filtered by city and role type. This cuts out the guesswork of cold-applying to institutions that haven't sponsored before.
Understand how PERM affects tenure-track timelines
If your employer pursues an EB-2 or EB-3 green card, they'll need to complete PERM labor certification through DOL before filing the immigrant petition. This process typically takes 12 to 18 months and must begin well before your H-1B reaches its six-year limit.
Check prevailing wage tiers before accepting an offer
Your employer must pay at least the DOL prevailing wage for your role and location before USCIS will certify the LCA. Use the OFLC Wage Search to look up the wage level for postsecondary nursing instructors in your target metro before you negotiate your offer.
Ask HR whether the institution self-files or uses counsel
Some universities process H-1B petitions in-house through their international faculty office, while others use outside immigration attorneys. Knowing this early tells you how much administrative support you'll have and how quickly the LCA can be filed after your offer letter is signed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Professor of Nursing role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes. USCIS recognizes nursing education roles at the postsecondary level as specialty occupations because they require a minimum of a bachelor's degree in nursing or a directly related field. Most tenure-track and clinical faculty positions specify an MSN, DNP, or PhD, which strengthens the specialty occupation argument considerably. The employer confirms this in the Labor Condition Application filed with DOL before your petition is submitted to USCIS.
Can nursing professors get H-1B sponsorship without going through the annual lottery?
Many can. Universities, colleges, and their affiliated nonprofit research organizations are cap-exempt employers, so their H-1B petitions bypass the annual 65,000 regular cap and 20,000 advanced-degree cap entirely. If your role is at an accredited academic institution or a nonprofit teaching hospital directly affiliated with one, you can file at any point in the year. Confirm cap-exempt status with HR or the international faculty office before assuming it applies.
What visa options exist for nursing faculty beyond H-1B?
Tenure-track faculty are strong EB-2 candidates if they hold an advanced degree, and some nationally recognized clinician-educators qualify for EB-1A extraordinary ability. Institutions committed to long-term hires often initiate PERM labor certification while the faculty member is still on H-1B status. TN visa is not applicable for nursing professors, as the USMCA profession list does not include nursing education as a covered category.
How do I find universities actively sponsoring nursing professor roles?
Migrate Mate lists employers with verified H-1B LCA filing history for nursing and health sciences faculty roles, searchable by location. This lets you focus on institutions that have actually sponsored before rather than relying on job postings that may not reflect the employer's willingness or capacity to file.
Does a foreign nursing degree qualify for H-1B sponsorship as a nursing professor?
It can, but foreign degrees must be evaluated for U.S. equivalency by a recognized credential evaluation service before the employer files the LCA. A three-year bachelor's degree in nursing from Australia, the UK, or Canada is generally accepted as equivalent to a U.S. four-year BSN. Graduate degrees, such as an MSN or DNP earned abroad, follow the same evaluation process and must meet the specific degree requirement stated in the job description.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored 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.
