Employer petitions for nurses and physical therapist
Registered nurses and physical therapists are listed as shortage, or “Schedule
A”, occupations in regulations (20 C.F.R. §656.22) issued by
the Department of Labor. An employer who wishes to immigrate an RN is exempt
from having to submit an application for alien labor certification to the
Department of Labor or to a State Employment Security Agency.
Filing a petition for a foreign-born registered nurse (“RN”) to work in the United States involves sponsoring her for permanent residence.
