How long the green card line is (November 2026)

A visa can be given to someone whose priority date (the day the employer filed the labor certification, or for a Schedule A nurse or physical therapist the immigrant petition) is before the final action date for their row and country of birth; "current" means no wait for a visa number. The dates for filing say who may file their paperwork early. From the November 2026 Visa Bulletin, by country of birth, not of citizenship or education. USCIS accepts green card applications filed inside the US by the dates for filing this month (USCIS: adjustment of status filing charts).

EB-3 skilled workers and professionals: jobs that require 2 years of training or experience or a degree, registered nurses and therapists among them. The bulletin is published each month; how far a line moves is the State Department's, and these dates are not a forecast of anyone's wait.

Physical therapist jobs with visa sponsorship in California: common questions

Do employers in California sponsor visas for physical therapists?

Yes. From 1 October 2025 to 30 June 2026 the US Labor Department certified 1 green card (PERM) application for physical therapists with a worksite in California, from 1 employer, and 77 H-1B applications from 54 employers. Across the US the same files hold every state's physical therapist sponsors.

Which employers in California sponsor physical therapists?

By certified applications in that period: Occupational Health Centers of California, A Medical Corporation (5), 21st Century Home Health Services, Inc. (3) and California Healthcare Clinical Employee Services, P.C. (3). 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.

What do employers that sponsor physical therapists in California pay?

The median of the lowest hourly rate each green card application offered was $39.04 an hour (1 applications); for H-1B applications, $60.16. 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.

Where in California are these jobs?

Green card worksites, most applications first: Grover Beach (1). H-1B worksites: San Jose (9), Sunnyvale (4), Tracy (4), Burlingame (3), Fremont (3) and Fresno (3). Open physical therapist jobs in California lists every employer hiring there now.

Can someone from outside the US get a physical therapist job in California with sponsorship?

Yes, when an employer files for it. Physical therapists are on the Labor Department's Schedule A, so their employer files the green card with USCIS directly, without a labor certification, and the skilled workers' line in the November 2026 Visa Bulletin stands at 15 June 2024 for people born in most countries. A job that sponsors says so in its posting; never pay anyone a fee for a job offer or a visa.

How current is this, and where does it come from?

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 California 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.

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 read as an occupation by its own job title with the classifier the board's job pages use, and placed in California by the worksite it names. 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. 78 applications in all.
