Dental hygienist visa sponsorship

Yes. From 1 October 2025 to 30 June 2026, the US Labor Department certified 6 H-1B and H-1B1 applications for dental hygienists from 4 employers and 8 green card (PERM) applications from 8 employers. On this board tonight, 62 open dental jobs say in their own posting that they sponsor a visa.

By certified applications in that period: Dental Health Group, PA (3), Advanced Dental Center, Inc. (1) and Richard H. Harris, Dmd, P.A. (1). 4 employers filed at least one; the full list has the 4 that filed the most.

By certified PERM applications in that period: Bae & Jang DDS Inc. (1), Baig Dental Group, PC (1) and H. Nouredine DMD, PC (1). 8 employers filed at least one (the list).

The median of the lowest hourly rate each H-1B application offered was $45 an hour; for green card applications, $39.70. BLS measured a US median of $47.16 an hour for dental hygienists (their pay). An H-1B employer must pay at least the prevailing wage for the job and the place, so a sponsored worker is paid like anyone in the same job.

H-1B worksites, most applications first: Florida, California and Kentucky. Green card worksites: Oregon, Illinois, Georgia, New Jersey and Texas.

Yes, when a US employer files for it; the worker cannot apply for the visa alone. For dental hygienists the usual route is a green card: the employer files a PERM labor certification for a permanent job, then an immigrant petition with USCIS, and the worker comes once a visa number is available. 8 employers had 8 PERM applications for dental hygienists certified from 1 October 2025 to 30 June 2026 (the list). The H-1B, a temporary work visa for jobs that need at least a bachelor's degree, was certified 6 times for dental hygienists in that period. Most open jobs, on this board and elsewhere, hire people already allowed to work in the US, and a job that sponsors says so in its posting. Write to the sponsoring employers above directly, and never pay anyone a fee for a job offer or a visa: honest employers do not ask for one (FTC: job scams).

From the Office of Foreign Labor Certification's disclosure files for 1 October 2025 to 30 June 2026, published 2026-08-07. Only applications the Labor Department certified are counted, each read as an occupation by its own job title. 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.
