Medical assistant visa sponsorship

Yes. From 1 October 2025 to 30 June 2026, the US Labor Department certified 5 H-1B and E-3 applications for medical assistants from 5 employers and 44 green card (PERM) applications from 22 employers.

By certified applications in that period: Agnew Family Wellness (1), Allergy Asthma & Immunology of the Rockies PC (1) and Allies, Inc. (1). 5 employers filed at least one; the full list has the 5 that filed the most.

By certified PERM applications in that period: Gaston Family Health Services, Inc (15), San Francisco Health Care and Rehab Inc (9) and Awesome Care (1). 22 employers filed at least one (the list).

The median of the lowest hourly rate each H-1B application offered was $24.81 an hour; for green card applications, $20.67. BLS measured a US median of $21.97 an hour for medical assistants (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: California, Colorado, MP, New Jersey and Maryland. Green card worksites: North Carolina, California, New York, Texas and Virginia.

Yes, when a US employer files for it; the worker cannot apply for the visa alone. For medical assistants 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. 22 employers had 44 PERM applications for medical assistants 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 5 times for medical assistants 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.
