To qualify for the H-1C visa, you must have a full and unrestricted nursing license from your home country or the country where you received your nursing education. You must also have a license to practice in the U.S. or a CGFNS certificate. Even if you personally meet the qualifications for an H-1C visa, you will not be able to obtain the visa if the healthcare facility does not meet the criteria. Currently there are only 13 hospitals that meet the criteria because the H-1C visa was designed for registered nurses who work in underserved areas.
