Medical laboratory technician visa sponsorship

Yes. From 1 October 2025 to 30 June 2026, the US Labor Department certified 10 H-1B applications for medical laboratory technicians from 5 employers and 5 green card (PERM) applications from 4 employers.

By certified applications in that period: Oklahoma Blood Institute (4), Lake Regional Health System (3) and Manning Regional Healthcare Center (1). 5 employers filed at least one; the full list has the 5 that filed the most.

By certified PERM applications in that period: Oklahoma Blood Institute (2), Loring Hospital (1) and PHC-Los Alamos, Inc. (1). 4 employers filed at least one (the list).

The median of the lowest hourly rate each H-1B application offered was $32.14 an hour; for green card applications, $22.93. BLS measured a US median of $30.26 an hour for medical laboratory technicians (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: Oklahoma, Missouri, Iowa, Arkansas and Massachusetts. Green card worksites: Oklahoma, New York, Iowa and New Mexico.

Yes, when a US employer files for it; the worker cannot apply for the visa alone. For medical laboratory technicians the usual route is the H-1B, a temporary work visa for jobs that need at least a bachelor's degree: 5 employers had 10 applications certified from 1 October 2025 to 30 June 2026 (the list), and 4 employers filed 5 green card applications for permanent jobs. 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.
