Do you have any suggestions for finding firm or attorney that can help with immigration of health care workers, specifically nurses?

I have a friend searching for such a firm now and of the ~15 firms contacted none had any experience with health care immigration.

They have decades of experience with IT services and the path to H1-B for IT.

If no suggestions, can you share thoughts on why healthcare immigration attorney help seems to be difficult to find?

There used to be a visa specifically for nurses, the H-1C, and when that sunset, the options greatly were reduced but there still are solutions if the global organization is structured and funded properly. It's not appropriate for me to mention the names of firms here but I can give you some via email.

My company (healthcare non-profit) filed my H1B on my behalf through Kramer Levin. Had to fill out a questionnaire, a little bit of back and forth, and they handled the rest.
