Immigration for IMGs: A Step by Step Guide

http://www.shusterman.com This presentation discusses how foreign-born physicians can get visas to train in the US. Schedule a legal consultation at http://shusterman.com/schedule-immigration-consultation.html The 2 most common options are: 1) J Visas - Once an IMG has passed USMLE, Parts I and II, and matches with a medical residency program, he obtains a DS-2019 form from the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) and either changes his status to J-1 in the US or goes abroad to get a J-1 visa. This subjects him to the 2-year home residency requirement. 2) H-1B Visa - Physicians who have passed all 3 parts of the USMLE and have matched with an employer who agrees to sponsor them for an H-1B visa may do so to avoid having to apply for a J waiver down the road. Most residency programs are "cap-exempt" so the physician does not have to worry about the numerical caps on H-1B petitions.
