Sponsorship
RepuStaff offers sponsorship of foreign trained therapists for employment in the US.
Typically, therapists require an H-1B temporary work visa. The H-1B visa may be approved for up to three years, followed by another three years if an extension if filed.
If you are already in the US with an H-1B visa or are enrolled in a therapy education program on a student visa, a green card sponsorship may the most appropriate avenue.The green card provides for permanent residency and allows foreign nationals to live and work in the US without time limitation.
Contact our International Recruiter for consultation and guidance.
