Visa sponsorship record
From 1 October 2025 to 30 June 2026, the US Labor Department certified 5 H-1B applications from Sanford Health for registered nurses. That is the employer's record, not a promise for this job: ask its recruiter whether this one sponsors a visa. Green cards for registered nurses are on the Labor Department's Schedule A and are filed with USCIS directly, so this record holds almost none of any employer's. Every employer that sponsors registered nurses.
