Our visa sponsorship opportunities for the U.S. are available to international registered nurses and international medical technologists. We sponsor the EB-3 green card visa for all healthcare professionals which is a permanent residency visa and allows you to live and work in the U.S. on a permanent basis.
For Medical Technologists, we also offer an opportunity to be entered into the annual H1-B visa lottery which takes place each March. If you are successful in obtaining a H1-B visa from the lottery, the EB-3 visa continues to process in the background so that the H1-B can eventually be adjusted to the EB-3 once issued.
The process time can vary for each person because each journey is so different! There are so many factors to take into consideration when you embark on your U.S. journey which is why our team of experts are here to guide you each step of the way, from immigration to licensing, deployment and beyond.
