H1B Visa Information for a Physical, Occupational or Speech Therapist in the states of VA, MD, or NC?

Question

I need help finding a website that states the H1B Visa Information for a Physical, Occupational or Speech Therapist in the states of VA, MD, or NC. Please help. Thanks!

Answer 1

Visas are federally regulated and granted by the US government; the individual states don't issue visas.

In order to practice as a speech pathologist in the US, one must hold a master's degree (or doctorate) in the subject, pass the national examination, and complete a clinical fellowship year. Certification and licensing are not "grandfathered" in.

You may want to look at the US Department of Homeland Security's website for immigration requirements/visas. Just Google it.
