Most Common Questions
Find answers to common questions about our staffing services..
How much does a nurse make in the U.S.?
Nurses’ salaries in the U.S. are some of the best worldwide. Your salary will depend on the prevailing wage in the location of your employment offer, your experience, and clinical specialty.
What do I need to legally work in the U.S.?
You must be a U.S. Permanent Resident. You may obtain your permanent residence through an EB-3 visa (known as a Green Card) and must have a U.S. nursing license to legally work in America.
OTTM Partners will assist you with your immigration and relocation process.
What do I require for the EB-3 visa?
To qualify for the EB-3 visa you must prove that you have a valid and permanent job offer from a U.S employer and that you meet the qualifications of the job description.
Once you have the job offer, you have to file the application in the U.S. embassy, complete your medical examination and submit the required documents:
-Employment offer from a U.S employer
-Approved labor certification and petition
-Your DS-261 confirmation page
-Your signed medical and vaccine documents
-Valid passport
-Resume / Curriculum Vitae
-Proof that you have no criminal records
OTTM Partners will file ALL your documents for you. They also give you legal and immigration support throughout your entire EB-3 visa application process.
What is the language requirement for the EB-3 visa?
All nurses in our Nurse Passport Program are English speakers. You´ll need a passing score on the International English Language Testing System (IELTS), the English test most used worldwide for migration, to move forward with your permanent visa application.
At OTTM Partners we can help you cover this EB-3 visa language requirement with study guides and professional support.
*If you are a graduated nurse from a college or university in Australia, Canada (except Quebec), New Zealand, the United Kingdom, or the U.S, you don’t have to meet this requirement.
How can I get a nursing license in the U.S.?
Once you are accepted into our Nurse Passport Program, you´ll need to apply for the National Council Licensure Exam for Registered Nurses (NCLEX) to get your U.S. nursing license.
OTTM Partners can guide you through this process. We provide training programs and study materials to prepare to succeed in your exam!

The VisaScreen certification is a requirement to work in the United States. It evaluates your general education, language and the validity of your license.
In our Nurse Passport Program we will guide each candidate through this screening process for a successful outcome.

The commitment time frame is three years, and you are employed directly with the healthcare company, with the opportunity to continue at the client location.
