J STATUS FOR PHYSICIANS
THE TWO-YEAR RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT

Immigration Attorney Carl Shusterman (Former INS Attorney 1976-82) discusses the laws which subject International Medical Graduates (IMGs) and Canadian physicians who complete their medical residencies and fellowships in the U.S. as J exchange visitors to the two-year foreign residency requirement.

Our law firm has assisted over 2,000 physicians in obtaining J waivers and green cards.
