Shortage occupations — United States
Schedule A, 20 CFR 656.5 — the occupations for which the Department of Labor has determined there are not enough United States workers. An employer filing for one of these may skip the individual labour-certification test and apply directly under 20 CFR 656.15. The list is very short and has not been substantively revised in decades.
- Physical therapists qualified to sit the state licensing examination
- Professional nurses who have passed the NCLEX-RN
- People of exceptional ability in the sciences or arts, including university teachers
- People of exceptional ability in the performing arts
Being on this list does not by itself make you eligible. Salary floors, qualification recognition and — on most routes — an employer still apply.
