Visas
MetroHealth sponsors J-1 visas. At the current enhanced visa fee rate as of September 2025, the program and MHS are unable to sponsor new H-1B visa applications. Transfers for current H-1B visas will be considered on a case-by-case basis as dictated by current federal policy. Applicants must therefore be willing to accept a J-1 visa as an alternative.
