Medical laboratory scientist jobs with visa sponsorship in Illinois

Yes. From 1 October 2025 to 30 June 2026 the US Labor Department certified 41 green card (PERM) applications for medical laboratory scientists with a worksite in Illinois, from 10 employers, and 78 H-1B applications from 23 employers. Across the US the same files hold every state's medical laboratory scientist sponsors.

By certified applications in that period: Northwestern Memorial HealthCare (19), OSF Healthcare System (15) and Trinity Medical Center (9). 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 $32.28 an hour (41 applications); for H-1B applications, $35.62. 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: Rock Island (8), Bloomington (6), Robinson (5), Sterling (3), Monmouth (3) and Chicago (2). H-1B worksites: Chicago (23), Rock Island (9), Monmouth (4), Galesburg (3), Pontiac (3) and Winfield (3). Open medical laboratory scientist jobs in Illinois lists every employer hiring there now.

Yes, when an employer files for it. For medical laboratory scientists in Illinois 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 78 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 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.
