IMMIGRATION PROCESS FOR USA
R A S Health Care has sponsored many of foreign healthcare professionals since our inception in 2001. The process differs somewhat by profession; and we only provide a broad outline here; and suggest you contact us for details in your specific situation. Most professionals with a Bachelor’s degree are eligible for the H-1B temporary work visa. This will allow you to work in the United States for up to six years. During that time, if you desire, R A S Health Care can sponsor you for your Green Card (Immigrant Visa).
The process involves three major steps:
1. Credentialing: Proving your education is equivalent to a US educated professional. This is closely tied to the licensing requirements in each state; as well is a factor in the visa processing. You will be able to find specific credentialing information under the state you wish to become licensed. Below (in the licensing section) is a link to this information for each state.
2. Licensing: Involves passing a national exam, and applying to a specific state. Each state is different and this also often involves an English proficiency exam. Click on this link Licensing; to open a separate page with information on all 50 states.
3. Visa Processing: As our attorney and their teams are very familiar with R A S Health Care sponsoring visas, much of the “legwork” is already in place to expedite your visa.
