Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Radiologic Tech Jobs
Get ARRT certified before you apply
U.S. employers require American Registry of Radiologic Technologists certification for most imaging roles. Without it, visa sponsorship is unlikely. Some employers will sponsor while you complete the credentialing process, but most expect it upfront.
Confirm your degree meets specialty occupation standards
The H-1B requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a directly related field. An associate's degree alone may not qualify. If your degree is a two-year credential, check whether your employer's job description explicitly requires a bachelor's level qualification.
Apply early for H-1B lottery roles
Most radiologic tech positions are cap-subject H-1B roles, meaning your petition enters the annual lottery held each March. Apply well before the registration window opens in late February to give your employer enough time to prepare the filing.
State licensure varies and affects your timeline
Every U.S. state requires separate radiologic technology licensure, and requirements differ. Your employer may begin sponsorship before you're licensed in that state, but factor in licensing timelines when negotiating your start date with a prospective employer.

Find Radiologic Tech JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does radiologic technologist qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
It depends on how the employer structures the job description. USCIS requires the role to normally require a bachelor's degree in a specific field. Many radiologic tech positions require only an associate's degree, which can disqualify the petition. Employers who explicitly require a bachelor's in radiologic technology or a related clinical science have the strongest H-1B cases.
Is ARRT certification required for visa sponsorship as a radiologic tech?
Virtually all U.S. employers require ARRT certification as a condition of employment, and USCIS treats it as part of the specialty occupation assessment. Without active ARRT credentials, most employers won't initiate sponsorship. If you're credentialed outside the U.S., check whether your qualification is eligible for ARRT reciprocity or examination before applying.
How hard is it to find a radiologic tech job with visa sponsorship?
Harder than for roles like software engineering, but not impossible. Radiologic technologists are on the U.S. healthcare shortage list in many states, which increases employer willingness to sponsor. Hospital systems in rural and underserved areas are most likely to sponsor. Browse Migrate Mate to find radiologic tech roles at employers with a documented history of visa sponsorship.
Can I work as a radiologic tech on an OPT or STEM OPT extension?
Yes, if your degree in radiologic technology was from a U.S. institution, you can work on OPT for 12 months post-graduation. However, radiologic technology is not classified as a STEM field under the DHS STEM Designated Degree Program List, so you are not eligible for the 24-month STEM OPT extension. Plan your H-1B or E-3 transition accordingly.
Do I need a separate state license for every state I work in?
Yes. There is no national radiologic technology license. Each state has its own licensure requirements, and some states require licensure before you can legally perform imaging procedures, even under supervision. When evaluating job offers, confirm the employer will support your state licensure application as part of the onboarding process alongside visa sponsorship.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored Radiologic Tech 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.
