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. EB-3 other workers: jobs that require less than 2 years, such as caregivers, home health aides and nursing assistants. 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.

Physician jobs with visa sponsorship in Louisiana: common questions

Do employers in Louisiana sponsor visas for physicians?

Yes. From 1 October 2025 to 30 June 2026 the US Labor Department certified 37 green card (PERM) applications for physicians with a worksite in Louisiana, from 9 employers, and 149 H-1B applications from 34 employers. Across the US the same files hold every state's physician sponsors.

Which employers in Louisiana sponsor physicians?

By certified applications in that period: Ochsner Clinic Foundation (44), Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System, Inc. (24) and Lafayette Health Ventures, Inc. (10). 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 physicians in Louisiana pay?

The median of the lowest hourly rate each green card application offered was $115 an hour (37 applications); for H-1B applications, $153.09. 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 Louisiana are these jobs?

Green card worksites, most applications first: Alexandria (7), New Orleans (7), Shreveport (6), Baton Rouge (4), Lafayette (2) and Lake Charles (2). H-1B worksites: Lafayette (21), New Orleans (18), Alexandria (15), Baton Rouge (13), Monroe (12) and Shreveport (10). Open physician jobs in Louisiana lists every employer hiring there now.

Can someone from outside the US get a physician job in Louisiana with sponsorship?

Yes, when an employer files for it. For physicians in Louisiana the usual route is the H-1B, a temporary work visa for jobs that need at least a bachelor's degree: the employer files a labor condition application first, as the 149 certified above. 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 Louisiana 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 Louisiana 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. 186 applications in all.
