Direct support professional jobs with visa sponsorship in New York

Yes. From 1 October 2025 to 30 June 2026 the US Labor Department certified 176 H-1B applications from 5 employers. Across the US the same files hold every state's direct support professional sponsors.

By certified applications in that period: Richmond Children Center, Inc. (76), Upstate Cerebral Palsy, Inc. (53) and Nysarc, Inc. Essex County Chapter (31). 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 H-1B application offered was $19.55 an hour. 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.

H-1B worksites: Yonkers (44), Utica (36), Crown Point (29), Canajoharie (16), Mount Kisco (9) and Ossining (7). Open direct support professional jobs in New York lists every employer hiring there now.

Yes, when an employer files for it. For direct support professionals in New York the usual route is the H-1B, a temporary work visa for jobs that need at least a bachelor's degree: the employer files a labor condition application first, as the 176 certified above. A job that sponsors says so in its posting; 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 New York 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.
