Pharmacist visa sponsorship: common questions
Do US employers sponsor visas for pharmacists?
Yes. From 1 October 2025 to 30 June 2026, the US Labor Department certified 379 H-1B and E-3 applications for pharmacists from 152 employers and 49 green card (PERM) applications from 33 employers. On this board tonight, 11 open pharmacy jobs say in their own posting that they sponsor a visa.
Which employers sponsor the most H-1B visas for pharmacists?
By certified applications in that period: CVS Rx Services Inc. (148), Safeway Inc. (24) and Walgreen Co. (24). 152 employers filed at least one; the full list has the 25 that filed the most.
Which employers sponsor green cards for pharmacists?
By certified PERM applications in that period: Safeway Inc. (10), CVS Rx Services Inc. (4) and Walgreen Co. (3). 33 employers filed at least one (the list).
What do employers that sponsor pharmacists pay?
The median of the lowest hourly rate each H-1B application offered was $67.83 an hour; for green card applications, $62.64. BLS measured a US median of $67.75 an hour for pharmacists (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.
Where are the jobs these employers sponsor pharmacists for?
H-1B worksites, most applications first: Texas, California, Washington, Indiana and New York. Green card worksites: Washington, California, Oregon, Texas and New York.
Can a pharmacist from outside the US get a job there with visa sponsorship?
Yes, when a US employer files for it; the worker cannot apply for the visa alone. For pharmacists the usual route is the H-1B, a temporary work visa for jobs that need at least a bachelor's degree: 152 employers had 379 applications certified from 1 October 2025 to 30 June 2026 (the list), and 33 employers filed 49 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).
How current is this, and where does it come from?
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.
Sources and method
Counted from the Labor Department's disclosure files: only applications it certified (for PERM, also those certified and then expired unused). Each is read as an occupation by its own job title, with the classifier the board's job pages use; a title it cannot read counts only where its occupation code belongs to one occupation alone. Wages are the lowest rate each application offered, a yearly salary counted over 2,080 hours. Employer names are as the Department records them; a name opens a page here only when it matches one of the board's employers exactly.
