Does anyone know any hospital/nursing home/home health care agency that is willing to sponsor H-1B visa?
Your information is crucial for me and thank you very very much for your good intention to help.
First of all, you need to calm down!!!!!!!!!!!
Your situation is no more urgent than others. There are a lot of people in the same boat.
If you had been reading the forums, you would already know that as a new nurse you
are not eligible for an H1b visa. That visa is only for advanced nurses, not new nurses, so you will not qualify for it.
And with the increase in unemployment in US nurses, there are very few places willing to sponsor H1b visas. No need to hire foreign nurses when American nurses are unemployed, right??
So, relax. No need to get all stressed out over a visa you don't qualify for anyway..
