Let's say I have a business/startup idea, funding is "fine" but I wish to just use Filipino nurses due to shortages - (or other skilled labor from the Philippines) -
Would it have to be solely through H1B? I've seen/witnessed that for certain types of jobs, e.g. teachers - alot of these barriers are moved.
What sort of obligations would a company have to first show that they tried but couldn't hire local people, or failed to relocate people to come?
Would this just be standard H1B process? There is no exact case here/situation, I'm just curious because - the nursing license is transferrable from the Philippines to many USA states (if not all?) and the Philippines is a country which is known to "export" it's people, mostly as "OFW" throughout East Asia and Middle East and as of late Canada.
I'm curious how this mechanism works - because it seems to be a win/win.
Because you mentioned nursing, I'll respond to that. The issue with nursing positions is that they often are not considered H-1B positions. This is why years ago there was a special visa (the H-1C) for nurses to deal with the shortage. Other than the H-1B, there really are no options for nurses.
