U.S. Immigration for Physicians

Our goal is to provide more immigration information for physicians, their employers and physician recruiters than any other web site on the Internet. Our law firm has helped over 2,000 international medical graduates (IMGs) and Canadian-trained physicians immigrate to the U.S. during the past two decades. We specialize in obtaining J visa waivers, H-1B status and permanent residence for physicians located across the U.S.

The numerous articles and links listed below demystify the J waiver procedure, the process of obtaining an appropriate offer of employment, how to determine whether your offer of employment is located within a medically underserved area, etc. We link to the government agencies that sponsor physicians for J waivers including almost all of the Conrad State 30 programs.
