Extend your full-time U.S. work authorization beyond the allowable post-graduation 12 months of Optional Practical Training and secure your U.S. immigrant visa sponsor.
Join our growing team of over 2,500 nurses from over 60 countries and receive excellent pay and benefits, financial assistance towards your MSN, and sponsorship of your U.S. immigrant visa.
Since 2004, Health Carousel International has provided over 6,000 global healthcare professionals with life-changing careers as the sponsor of their US work visas.
YOUR OPPORTUNITY: After receiving a U.S. state nursing license, you’ll begin work for us on Optional Practical Training, and we’ll file for your EB-3 visa.
Your full-time work eligibility will be extended past OPT when you enroll in a day-1 Curricular Practical Training MSN program.
As you continue to work for us, we’ll pay for your masters, and you’ll progress toward the issuance of your immigrant visa!
Here’s what you’ll get when you select Health Carousel International as your U.S. visa sponsor and employer:
"I would like to thank PassportUSA/Health Carousel for giving me the opportunity to work in the United States. I could’ve never imagined doing it on my own. With their guidance, everything went smoothly. They are always there to follow up with me about my requirements and now here I am, about to step into the country where I have long desired to work in."
“Working with PassportUSA/Health Carousel helped me fulfill my American dream. I am guided in every step of the way. The advisors are prompt to respond especially when I needed help on urgent situations. This experience taught me to be detailed and meticulous on every step of the way and to do my best in everything.”
“PassportUSA/Health Carousel helped me reach my American dream! I am so excited to start my new life here and am forever grateful they helped make it happen. I also want to thank all of my previous advisors for doing a good job in helping me out. Many thanks for giving me this opportunity.”
As the leading provider of US career opportunities for internationally- trained RNs, Health Carousel International (HCI) has successfully facilitated the immigration and placement of thousands of healthcare professionals in top- tier US organizations. Our ethical standards and track record speak for themselves, earning the trust of international healthcare professionals like you.
We care about your geo-location placement preferences. HCI has hundreds of prestigious healthcare facility clients located in all 50 US states and you get to provide input on where you would like to be.
You will be our employee working at a best-fit client healthcare facility based on your abilities and location, setting, and unit preferences. We have clients in all U.S. states. They range from leading academic medical institutions to rural community hospitals. Whatever you seek, we will likely have a few nursing career opportunities to consider. You will likely work at the same healthcare facility for your entire assignment period. However, we will assist with relocation and license costs if you must change assignments.
At the minimum, you will be paid the U.S. Department of Labor prevailing wage for your location and profession. Additionally, we provide a generous relocation allowance to help you settle in your work location. Lastly, you’ll be eligible for performance-based merit increases during the assignment.
We begin collecting the documents to file for your EB-3 visa when you begin work at your selected assignment location.
Optional Practical Training (OPT) is a temporary work permit program that allows eligible F-1 international students to gain real-world work experience related to their field of study in the United States. Registered nurses can apply for up to 12 months of OPT employment authorization. During OPT, you can work full-time as long as the work is related to your nursing degree.
“Day 1 CPT” is a specific rule in some U.S. master’s or doctoral programs that allows international students to start Curriculum Practical Training (CPT) immediately. This means you can begin an internship or full-time work right from the beginning of your program. Institutions that offer this type of program are known as “Day 1 CPT Universities.”
Day-1 CPT programs in nursing are uncommon and we will provide you with a list of our acceptable educational partners where you can enroll.
While much of the day-1 CPT coursework is online, you will be required to attend classes in person periodically each semester, and we will provide travel stipends.
Health Carousel covers the day-1 CPT MSN program tuition and fees. You are responsible for taxes on education benefits above the U.S. IRS maximum allowable benefit of $5,250 annually.
This program lasts roughly three years. During the first year you will work on OPT, then transition to a two-year CPT program. You will be able to work full-time while in both programs. The extended program period provides maximal time for the issuance of your Health Carousel International-sponsored immigrant visa.
Our ultimate goal is to achieve your EB-3 visa approval or EAD before your day-1 CPT program ends. If this does not happen, you may be eligible for an additional 12 months of OPT, as this is allowable for each degree level you complete.
It is important that you abide by all U.S. visa regulations, and you will not be permitted to work at any time without proper authorization.
