MT JOB OPPORTUNITY

I HEARD THE SAME AGENCY THAT HELPED ME GET A JOB IN THE US IS LOOKING FOR SOME QUALIFIED MTs TO FILL THE VACANCIES IN ONE OF THE HOSPITALS IN WYOMING. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED, READ THE FOLLOWING FACTS AND TRY TO CONTACT THEM AND ASK IF THE POSITION IS STILL OPEN.

NIUSA IS SEEKING TO PLACE “MEDICAL LABORATORY TECHNOLOGISTS. (MLT)”
Priority to Philippine and Singapore based candidates.


A NIUSA hospital client with hospitals in several western states have asked NIUSA to assist them in hiring some qualified Medical Laboratory Technologists (MLT). The hospital employer would be the sponsor and this is direct hire. This would require a 4 year Bachelor Degree and a minimum of two years tertiary hospital or a high level clinical lab that may not be in the hospital. The requirements for a MLT with foreign education, who seeks to work in USA, will vary from state to state in the USA. It could be licensure with exam or certification. For example, in Arizona, the MLT does not require any license exam. However, the filing of the petition will require the MLT complete the CGFNS Visa Screen for the MLT. This is a combination of the transcript evaluation and verification of the pass on the Academic ILETS or other approved English exams. The MLT must have a overall band-score of a minimum of 7.0 in the ILETS. The CGFNS Visa Screen for the MLT does not have any testing requirements.

This hospital client is based in Arizona and other Western states. They are a large, non-profit, community based multi-hospital corporation. The foreign educated MLT will be sponsored for the H-1B work visa and this healthcare organization is a medical training facility. This means that they are not subject to the annual cap numbers for the H-1B. Qualified MLT could be filed quickly and receive the work visa in a short-term period of about 6 months if the premium processing were to be paid. However, it also means that candidates will need to have the required CGFNS Visa Screen certificate for the MLT, at the time of filing.

My First Blog

Bored and had nothing to do so I decided to try posting my blogs. With no specific topic in my mind, I just started to type whatever I can think of at the moment. Hoping that this won't be the first and last blog, I am thinking of sharing the space to all my friends and eventually make my space a trade center of thoughts. Here, we can reminisce the past, share some thoughts about any topics and try to re-connect with all the people we once worked with. So if you got a topic, post it so anyone who will read can give some feedback.

Mabuhay!
