Schedule A Immigrant Visa
Schedule A allows two occupations, Registered Nurses and Physical Therapists, to bypass the traditional labor certification process. This streamlined pathway enables employers to directly file an immigrant petition, expediting the hiring process for critical roles in healthcare and other qualifying fields.
Key Features of the Schedule A Visa:
Eligibility: Limited to two pre-designated occupations where shortages are recognized nationally, Registered Nurses and Physical Therapists.
Streamlined Process: Avoids the extensive labor market testing and labor certification process required under the PERM process.
