us visas for physicians
There are essentially only three nonimmigrant
visa categories which enable a physician to enter the U.S. to receive
training or to practice medicine:
H-1B
J-1
O-1
A J-1 may be required to return to his/her country of nationality or
last country of residence in many cases.
A physician who is enrolled in a
degree-granting program may be eligible for and utilize one year of
optional practical training upon completion of the degree to begin
residency or fellowship.
Our office processes hundreds of working visas
for physicians annually. We are also well-versed in the processing of
J-1 waiver applications.
The Law Offices of Ingrid K. Brey, P.C., has assisted thousands of
foreign medical graduates over the past 20 years in securing H-1B status
to engage in medical education/residency training and/or to pursue
fellowship opportunities. In this regard, we have worked closely with
several teaching hospitals throughout the country.
