USA H1C Category Visa

An H1 C visa is a nonimmigrant visa category that makes possible for a foreign national to go to the USA to work there temporarily as a registered nurse in those areas where health professionals are required. The areas where there is a dearth of nurses are decided by the Department of Labour. If a candidate is applying for a nursing visa, they have to be licensed.
