International medical physicists: are hospitals still sponsoring H-1Bs?

I’m finishing an international CAMPEP-accredited medical physics residency (ABR eligible) and have a CAMPEP-accredited MSc. As I’m an international applicant I would need employment sponsorship, most likely an H-1B or potentially an O-1.

I’m curious to hear from people who have recent experience with this.

Have you or someone in your department recently had an H-1B sponsored for a medical physicist position?

Are academic/non-profit or cap-exempt centres significantly more willing to sponsor than private/community practices?

Has the recent uncertainty around the $100k H-1B fee affected your department’s willingness to sponsor?

If you’ve gone through this yourself, how difficult was it to find a centre willing to sponsor?

Any info at all is appreciated!
