FAQ

Frequently asked questions about our platform and community.

How long would I have to work for the sponsoring employer?

There may be a required 2–3-year employment term committed to the sponsoring employer with JobGraze. This is a permanent employment with the sponsoring employer, and you could stay employed by them longer contingent upon your job performance.

What is the employment arrangement?

You will be a direct hire and a full-time employee of the sponsoring employer. You will receive full benefits as offered by the Employer to the rest of their employees.

What training will I get in my new job?

Prior to leaving your country, you will get culture training by the recruitment company. Once you are in the host country, you will get orientation and on-the-job training from the sponsoring employer. We will share with you more about your training once you have been hired.

Will I have support in my new country?

Yes, JobGraze will greet you at the airport and will assist you in settling in (i.e. open a bank account, grocery shopping, lodging assignments, transportation arrangement) in the first two weeks. We will be available to support you, even beyond the two weeks.

What kind of visa category will I be working under?

You would be coming to the USA under the EB-3 Immigration Visa (permanent resident).

No, we are a healthcare employment agency helping direct employers in candidate selection for permanent employment. We assist with exams and document processing for visas in the USA and assist candidates with documents needed in their home country via our partners.

When would I receive my immigrant visa?

It is very difficult to put an exact timeframe on the immigrant visa process since there are so many different agencies involved in navigating the process. Generally speaking, a fair timeframe is approximately 6-10 months from the filing of the immigrant petition to approval at the U.S. Consulate.

Timeframes can vary depending on backlogs of cases at both the USCIS and the U.S. Consulate abroad.

If you have other questions, please send your inquiries to hello@jobgraze.com.

Do I need to pass the NCLEX and IELTS exams for the U.S.A.?

Yes, you can still apply, but you would have to pay for your exam fee. Once you pass the exam, we will reimburse the fee.

Do I need nursing experience?

Yes, at least 2 years of experience. Experience helps in building critical thinking skills and will make the transition period easier.

Should I be working as a registered nurse currently?

Yes, you need at least two years of current clinical experience in order to apply for the immigration visa.

What if I have a gap in clinical experience?

Our employers are looking for candidates with clinical experience. Since your new job would be in a clinical setting, we suggest that you start work to get clinical experience in a hospital setting.

What are my costs?

You would have to pay for your NCLEX RN and IELTS exam fees, however, we will reimburse the fees once you’ve passed the exams.

There will be no other costs to you. What you will make in your new job, you will keep 100%. We will cover all of your other expenses (i.e. visa processing and consulate fees).

What is the difference between an Employer Administrator vs an Employee?

The Employer Administrator has full access (i.e. Dashboards, Payments, Reports) and has the authority to set-up the access roles and grant security access to their employees.

What is the cost of sponsoring a healthcare worker from overseas?

The cost may vary depending on the license, specialties, qualifications, and experience (such as a RN vs a LPN vs a physician) and the fees involved to file for their placement in the host country.

What guarantee do Employers have when sponsoring workers from overseas?

Immigration policies and employment laws may change from time to time, however, JobGraze will work with you to ensure that once a candidate is hired, they stay employed with you for at least 2 years.

What are the sponsoring Employers' responsibilities in the process?

Since these International candidates will be your direct employees, we would ask for certain documents as needed by the U.S. Immigration Department and the host country. JobGraze will take care of the rest!
