Not until the US government issues the visa.

Just because one has a contract for the US, the sponsoring company does not issue the visa.

And depends on the type of visa. Not all applicants are going to get a visa issued to them.

Nurses are retrogressed and have a long wait CNA and LPN do not meet US visa requirements.

thanks suzzanne, i read someplace that a cna,lpn's p.t's, ot's could get issued a visa in 60-90 days and be in the u.s. What do you mean that the u.s. doesn't recognize phillipine CNA, LPN etc.?

thank you , sorry i'm just trying to understand this process and you hear so many different things.

There is no shortage of CNA's and LPN's therefore no visas for them. You may be able to take the LPN licensure application if you are going to the US via another route ie Fiancée visa but will still have to meet BON requirements with transcripts. But what if the BON requires a local license, the Philippines doesn't recognise the LPN and have local boards then you will have problems.

Re: CNA's, LPN's hourly employees i.e. housekkeeping and Nurses

Housekeepers and LPNS as well as CNAs do not meet the requirements for visas to work legally in the US. What you are seeing is for illegal visas for the US and those that get them are subject to being deported.

The OT is four year plus degree in Occupational Therapy and they need to meet licensure requirements as well as possess a Visa Screen Certificate. And the only visas available for them are the H1-B or the green card.
