For many international nurses, the aspiration to be sponsored by the US stands at the lead of their nursing career. With a growing demand for skilled healthcare professionals in America, nurses worldwide seek opportunities in the US healthcare system. White Glove offers visa and green card sponsorship opportunities for international nurses to join the workforce in the land of the free. We outlined the journey process for international nurses aiming to succeed. While the process may seem lengthy, keep in mind that White Glove handles most of the burden for the nurses we sponsor!

Ensure you are eligible for Sponsorship

If you are an RN who has passed the NCLEX and has one year of recent bedside experience, you may be eligible for White Glove International Sponsorship. Find more information about our international sponsorship program here.

Submit your professional resume

Your resume serves as the first impression for potential employers reviewing your application. To create an effective resume, include detailed information about your educational background, such as the institutions you attended, degrees earned, and any honors received. Clearly outline your relevant skills, emphasizing those that align with the job you are applying for, and provide specific examples of how you have applied these skills in previous roles. Additionally, highlight your work experience, listing job titles, companies, and dates of employment, along with a brief description of your responsibilities and accomplishments in each role.

Get matched with a lucrative job

Once we verify your eligibility, we will schedule a call to discuss your job preferences. After that, we will begin the job search on your behalf. We have hundreds of opportunities available throughout New York and will search for the best match for you. We will submit your resume and confirm your interest in the jobs you want to pursue.

Gear up for the interview

Next, we will arrange an interview at a time that is convenient for you. The facilities will typically ask about your relevant experiences, qualifications, and motivations for wanting to relocate to New York. It’s important to think about these questions in advance and be prepared to answer these questions in a way that presents you positively

Congratulations, a job offer!

Hopefully, you made the right impression. If the interview is successful, the hospital or nursing home will offer a job, and we are ready to sign a 3-year contract!

Expert legal support at your side

At this point, we will connect you with a top attorney mostly paid by White Glove. The attorney will assist you with the filing process, including gathering the appropriate documentation and forms, which may include some of the following:

1. Professional Resume: A comprehensive resume outlining your educational background, nursing experience, and relevant skills. We likely already have this for the process of finding a job.

1. Educational Credentials: Official transcripts and diplomas from nursing schools or programs demonstrating completion of the necessary education for licensure as a nurse.

1. NCLEX Pass Certification: Evidence that you have passed the NCLEX-RN exam, which is required for nursing licensure in the US.

1. Experience Letters: Letters from previous employers confirming your work experience as an RN, including details about your roles, responsibilities, and dates of employment.

1. Credential Evaluation: An evaluation of your nursing credentials by a recognized organization to ensure they meet US requirements. This typically includes transcripts and proof of your nursing education.

1. State Licensure: Documentation showing that you are eligible to apply for or have obtained a nursing license in the state of New York. You can find more information about obtaining your New York licensure here.

1. Immigration Forms: Applicants must complete necessary immigration forms, such as Form I-140 (Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker), for the EB-3 visa classification.

1. Passport Photocopy: You will need a copy of your valid passport, including the pages showing your personal information and any visa stamps.

1. Proof of Financial Support: Evidence that you can financially support yourself once in the US. This may include bank statements or affidavits of support from your employer. White Glove will provide the employer letter for sponsored RNs.

1. Medical Examination Records: Results from a medical examination performed by an approved physician as part of the visa application process.

1. Visa Application Fee: Proof of payment for the visa application fees, which may vary by case.

Once you gather these documents, our immigration attorney will review and process your file.

The attorney files your petition

With a complete application, the next stage is to file the petition. Your assigned immigration attorney will do this step for you, including the processing of form DS-260 or applying for the immigrant visa.

Arrange the embassy interview

After the DS-260 application is approved, nurses will attend an interview at the US Embassy. During this interview, they will typically ask questions about your background and experiences, your job offer, how you plan to adapt, what you know about life in New York, and your intentions regarding relocation.
