Hi phoenix--

I didn't know about the nurse shortage so I Googled it. It was interesting to read about.

In my Googling I came across more info about H-1B visas and it looks like at least at some point some people did receive such a visa for being a "therapist/psychologist." But I did not see any specifics. (Also keep in mind both those terms usually refer to someone with a masters or phd.)

I think one thing to keep in mind is that if there ever is a shortage of bachelor-level psych degree holders it will probably happen in an area that is seen by most as less desirable to live in.

As for getting a visa for something that requires 1-2 years of study, I believe the H-1B visa requires a bachelors. I'm not sure how other work visas might work.

Anyway, I've reached the end of my knowledge about this issue but hopefully someone who knows more will come along and respond.
