Seeking F1 Visa Sponsorship for Nurses
Hi everyone,
I’m reaching out to see if anyone has information about hospitals or agencies in Connecticut or nearby areas in New York that sponsor nurses on an F1 visa. I’ve been in touch with a few places, but haven’t received any positive feedback yet.
Any advice or experiences you can share would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hello!
It can definitely be challenging to find sponsorship for an F1 visa in the nursing field, but there are a few avenues you could explore. Here are some suggestions:
Hospital Networks: Look into larger hospital networks as they may have more resources and flexibility to sponsor overseas nurses. Hospitals affiliated with universities may also have programs that help international students.
Nursing Agencies: Besides traditional agencies, try reaching out to agencies that specialize in international nurse recruiting. They may have established relationships with hospitals that can help you get sponsored.
University Programs: Since you’re on an F1 visa, check if any universities in Connecticut or nearby NY have partnerships with hospitals for internships or training programs. These might lead to job offers with sponsorship.
Professional Associations: Networking through professional associations for nurses can also be beneficial. They may have resources or connections that can lead to job opportunities.
Online Communities: Consider joining nursing forums or groups on social media where you can ask others who have been in similar situations for recommendations or referrals.
Consult Immigration Attorneys: It might be helpful to speak with an immigration attorney who specializes in healthcare or employment-based visas. They can provide guidance on your situation and help you explore more options.
I wish you the best of luck in your search! Keep persistently reaching out and networking—there are opportunities out there.
