Nurse Visas

Immigration Law - Nurse Visas

Definition:

There is a shortage of nurses in many parts of the U.S, which is why the nurse visa (H-1B visa) is so important. Nurse visas are for foreign registered nurses who seek the opportunity to work in the U.S. These applicants may be sponsored by hospitals that are approved by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

Consequences of Nurse Visas:

The nurse visa is dedicated to registered nurses, but can only apply to those hospitals that are approved by the USCIS and the Department of Labor. Since there are less than 15 hospitals who currently received this approval in the U.S, nurse visas are difficult to obtain. Typically, 500 visas are available.

What a Lawyer can do for you:

Immigration lawyers can assist nurses from around the world such as India, England, Saudi Arabia, Philippines, and Canada. Immigration lawyers have the knowledge it takes to successfully build a case for you. By helping you gather all pertinent information and documents, a lawyer can help you secure an H-1B visa and employment at hospitals, nursing homes and health care organizations in the U.S.
