Physician assistant visa sponsorship

Yes. From 1 October 2025 to 30 June 2026, the US Labor Department certified 38 H-1B and H-1B1 applications for physician assistants from 29 employers and 3 green card (PERM) applications from 3 employers. On this board tonight, 16 open NPs & PAs jobs say in their own posting that they sponsor a visa.

By certified applications in that period: Montefiore Medical Center (5), Family Healthcare Network (2) and Florida Hospital Medical Group, Inc. (2). 29 employers filed at least one; the full list has the 25 that filed the most.

By certified PERM applications in that period: Maimonides Medical Center (1), Mount Sinai Hospital (1) and University of Pittsburgh Physicians (1). 3 employers filed at least one (the list).

The median of the lowest hourly rate each H-1B application offered was $62.51 an hour; for green card applications, $61.39. BLS measured a US median of $65.33 an hour for physician 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, Missouri, Massachusetts, Maryland and Florida. Green card worksites: New York and Pennsylvania.

Yes, when a US employer files for it; the worker cannot apply for the visa alone. For physician assistants the usual route is the H-1B, a temporary work visa for jobs that need at least a bachelor's degree: 29 employers had 38 applications certified from 1 October 2025 to 30 June 2026 (the list), and 3 employers filed 3 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.
