Not a work visa, no obvious likely category.

 

Green Card, well you have to have a basis, on here Marriage is the most common one so depends on what basis you have to apply.

H1B- probably but unlikely for dental hygienist

Dental Hygenist os not a TN role

 

Nor does it require a degree. so not H1b

 

Very very slim chance.

There you go.

OP, it seems you need to go a bit higher like a dentist or sth requiring a 4 year degree course if you want to work in the US and get. GC with some luck.

 

Another way is if you can find a USC or an LPR the love of your life.

Once you get your work authorization or green card, you will need to take a state licensing exam or perhaps a regional exam that covers several states.  The dental licensing has changed a bit here in Florida over the last several years.  I am not familiar with an American board exam unless you are talking about the written exam.  Did you also take an exam on live patients?

 

If it works out for you let me know as my son in law and I are both in need of dental hygienists (we are both dentists).  Probably the same in most states.

If at first you don't succeed, then sky diving is not for you.

Someone stole my dictionary. Now I am at a loss for words.

If Apple made a car, would it have windows?

Ban shredded cheese. Make America Grate Again .

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.  Deport him and you never have to feed him again.

I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.

I went bald but I kept my comb.  I just couldn't part with it.

My name is not Richard Edward but my friends still call me DickEd

If your pet has a bladder infection, urine trouble.

"Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow."

I fired myself from cleaning the house. I didn't like my attitude and I got caught drinking on the job.

My kid has A.D.D... and a couple of F's

Carrots improve your vision.  Alcohol doubles it.

A dung beetle walks into a bar and asks " Is this stool taken?"

Breaking news.  They're not making yardsticks any longer.

Hemorrhoids?  Shouldn't they be called Assteroids?

If life gives you melons, you might be dyslexic.

If you suck at playing the trumpet, that may be why.

Dogs can't take MRI's but Cat scan.

Once they have their green card I'd be happy to "help out".

Dental hygienists most definitely need a degree.   Perhaps you are thinking of dental assistant.

 Yep, Just like a Registered Nurse

Actually, some states allow (or used to allow) diploma Nurses from accredited diploma programs to practice as Registered Nurses if they meet all other requirements.

Last I checked "International Graduates" for nursing licensure needed a BSN

 

But it's been a few years since I dealt with all the International Licensure and NCLEX stuff
