Registered nurse jobs with visa sponsorship in Illinois

Yes. From 1 October 2025 to 30 June 2026 the US Labor Department certified 14 green card (PERM) applications for registered nurses with a worksite in Illinois, from 1 employer, and 73 H-1B applications from 17 employers. Across the US the same files hold every state's registered nurse sponsors.

By certified applications in that period: Humboldt Park Health (32), Insight Chicago, Inc. (8) and Jackson Park Hospital Foundation (8). 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.

The median of the lowest hourly rate each green card application offered was $16.67 an hour (14 applications); for H-1B applications, $40. 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.

Green card worksites, most applications first: Paxton (14). H-1B worksites: Chicago (60), Evanston (4), Oak Park (3), Rock Island (2), Elmhurst (1) and Naperville (1). Open registered nurse jobs in Illinois lists every employer hiring there now.

Yes, when an employer files for it. Registered nurses 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.

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 Illinois 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.
