Caregiver jobs with visa sponsorship in Illinois

Yes. From 1 October 2025 to 30 June 2026 the US Labor Department certified 49 green card (PERM) applications for caregivers with a worksite in Illinois, from 8 employers. Across the US the same files hold every state's caregiver sponsors.

By certified applications in that period: A Mishle Group Health Care Services, Inc. (14), In Home Personal Services (13) and Karmala, Inc. (7). Every one of them is listed below, with what it offered. A certified application means the employer sponsored that job; write to them directly, as their own job boards list what is open now.

The median of the lowest hourly rate each green card application offered was $16 an hour (49 applications). The employer must offer at least the prevailing wage for the job in that place, so a sponsored worker is paid like anyone in the same job there.

Green card worksites, most applications first: Wheaton (11), La Grange Park (10), Grayslake (7), Rockford (6), Lisle (4) and Bloomingdale (3). Open caregiver jobs in Illinois lists every employer hiring there now.

Yes, when an employer files for it: the worker cannot apply for the visa alone. For caregivers the route is an employment-based third preference (EB-3) green card on a permanent, full-time job offer: the employer's labor certification first, then its immigrant petition (Form I-140), then the visa once your priority date is reached. A job that needs less than 2 years of training or experience is filed as "Other Workers". In the State Department's November 2026 Visa Bulletin that line stands at 1 June 2022 for people born in most countries (1 January 2022 for the Philippines, 22 January 2014 for India): a visa can be given to someone whose priority date is earlier, so the wait is measured in years (the line by country). The employer pays for the labor certification: "An employer must not seek or receive payment of any kind for any activity related to obtaining permanent labor certification", including deductions from your wages (20 CFR 656.12). Never pay anyone a fee for a job offer or a visa.

From the US Labor Department's Office of Foreign Labor Certification disclosure files for 1 October 2025 to 30 June 2026, published 2026-08-07: only applications it certified, each read as an occupation by its own job title and placed in Illinois by its worksite. A certified application is not yet a visa: USCIS decides the petition after it. CareJobs.Now rebuilds these figures each quarter the files are published.
