GC for a Massage Therapist

[javaguy1974]

My wife is a massage therapist and we are looking for a possibility for her to start a GC process. There are postings about physical therapists, nurses, etc. but I didn't see anything mentioned here in respect to massage therapist profession.

My wife has completed a school in NJ and under NJ's law she can practice massage. NJ doesn't issue licenses, the only requirement is ~500 hours of school massage completed. In contrast, NY state requires a license, and only PRs/USCs can apply...

Anyways, had anyone any experience in getting a GC as a massage therapist? Is a visa screen required? Can someone sponsor my wife on H1-B visa? I'd appreciate any comments.

Thanks,

Massage therapy, though a valuable skill does not figure highly as far as H visa sponsorship is concerned, actually sponsorship may not pass through DOL. However its worth a try through a well established business. Your queri may get better response at general H-visa related threads in this forum.

Thanks for you response. We would be more interested in GC sponsorship rather than H1 itself though.
