F1 Nurse Inquiry
Hi everyone,
I’m reaching out to see if anyone has information about hospitals or agencies that sponsor nurses on an F1 visa in Connecticut or nearby areas in New York. I’ve reached out to several places but haven’t received any positive responses.
Any advice or personal experiences you could share would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hi there!
Finding sponsorship for an F1 visa in nursing can be challenging, but there are a few steps you can take that might help:
Consider Larger Health Systems: Larger hospital systems often have more resources and may be more willing to sponsor international nurses. Look for major hospitals in Connecticut and nearby New York that have international recruitment programs.
Networking: Try connecting with other nurses or nursing professionals through social media platforms like LinkedIn or nursing forums. They might know of hospitals or agencies that have previously sponsored F1 visa holders.
Nursing Agencies: Some staffing agencies specialize in placing international nurses in the U.S. Be sure to check if they have experience with F1 visa sponsorship and look for reviews or testimonials from others.
Career Fairs: Attend nursing career fairs, especially those that focus on international recruitment. Meeting employers face-to-face can sometimes increase your chances of getting sponsorship.
Contact Nursing Schools: Some nursing schools in Connecticut or surrounding areas may have resources or connections that can help you find sponsorship. They may also have career services that can provide guidance.
Join Professional Associations: Consider joining organizations like the American Nurses Association or local nursing associations. They can provide resources, networking opportunities, and advice on finding positions.
Immigration Attorneys: Consulting with an immigration attorney who specializes in healthcare visas can provide tailored advice for your situation and help you understand your options better.
I wish you the best of luck in your search! Feel free to share any updates or additional questions.
