STOP THE BLEEDING: The New H1B Fee Just Made Your Lab Staffing Crisis Worse.

The proposed $100,000 H1B visa fee for new petitions is a massive new barrier. For hospital CFOs and CEOs, this means one thing: The international pipeline for Medical Laboratory Scientists (MLS) is effectively closed. This leaves you with two unsustainable options:

1.Pay the $100K fee for a permanent hire (if you can afford it).

2.Continue paying $150K - $216K annually for temporary traveler contracts.

Both options are financial drains. Both fail to solve the root problem of lab instability.

There is a third way: The Permanent Exit Strategy.

At Clira Consulting, we specialize in building stable, compliant, and well-led hospital laboratories from the inside out. Our focus is on retention, process optimization, and leadership development—the only true way to end your dependency on external, high-cost staffing solutions.

The result? Our clients secure an ROI of over 70% in the first year by eliminating traveler costs and mitigating the catastrophic risk of compliance failure.

The time for temporary fixes is over. The new regulatory landscape demands a permanent solution.

Is your lab ready to stop paying a premium for instability?
