Physical therapist assistant visa sponsorship

Yes. From 1 October 2025 to 30 June 2026, the US Labor Department certified 4 H-1B applications for physical therapist assistants from 4 employers and 33 green card (PERM) applications from 12 employers. On this board tonight, 74 open therapy & rehab jobs say in their own posting that they sponsor a visa.

By certified applications in that period: Clifton Park Physical Therapy, PLLC (1), Enjoy Care PT PC (1) and Hands of Hope Physical Therapy, PC (1). 4 employers filed at least one; the full list has the 4 that filed the most.

By certified PERM applications in that period: InterFysio, LLC (14), Ameristar Staffing Inc (5) and Core Rehab Staffing, Inc. (2). 12 employers filed at least one (the list).

The median of the lowest hourly rate each H-1B application offered was $29.89 an hour; for green card applications, $26.93. BLS measured a US median of $32.88 an hour for physical therapist 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: New York and MP. Green card worksites: New York and New Jersey.

Yes, when a US employer files for it; the worker cannot apply for the visa alone. For physical therapist 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. 12 employers had 33 PERM applications for physical therapist 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 4 times for physical therapist 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.
