PATHWAY · SPONSORED WORK VISA

The H-1B Pathway

H-1B is an employer-sponsored work visa for qualifying specialty roles. For nurses it applies in specific circumstances — typically advanced-practice or specialized positions — so fit depends heavily on your qualifications and the employer's role. We tell you plainly whether it's realistic for your profile.

At a glance

Who it's for

Internationally qualified nurses whose education and role meet specialty-occupation criteria — often advanced or specialized positions.

What it is

A temporary, employer-sponsored work visa tied to a specific role, subject to annual availability and government criteria.

What you'll need

An employer willing to sponsor, qualifications matching the role's requirements, and the licensure the state and employer require.

How Nurse Swift fits in

1
Honest fit assessment
H-1B suits fewer nursing profiles than TN or EB-3. We assess your qualifications and say clearly whether it's worth pursuing.
2
Match with sponsoring employers
Where a role fits, we introduce you to employers open to sponsorship and support the interview process.
3
Coordination, not legal work
Visa filings are handled by the employer's authorized professionals. We keep the recruitment side moving and keep you informed.

Nurse Swift is not a law firm and cannot guarantee visa availability, approval, or timelines. H-1B eligibility and issuance are determined by the appropriate U.S. government authorities.
