Foreign doctors who receive clinical medical residency training in the U.S. pursuant to a J-1 exchange visitor visa are required to return to their home country for two years before they are eligible to apply for an H-1B immigration visa or permanent residency. J-1 waiver visa physicians need not complete this two-year home requirement if they are approved for a waiver to engage in research of national or international significance under sponsorship from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Most J-1 Visa Waivers typically require a three year service obligation. However, certain states, such as West Virginia, require a four-year contract. All waiver programs require a showing that the employer has made efforts to recruit a U.S. physician prior to offering a position to a J-1 physician. | ||||
Immigration attorneys offering labor certifications, J-1 and O-1 visas. |

| Immigration attorneys offering representation to obtain H-1B work visas, labor certifications and J-1 waivers for foreign medical graduates and physicians. The O-1 category is especially helpful to medical researchers, athletes, and business people who may lack the qualifications or salary required for the H-1B program. In addition, to date, there have been no numerical limitations reached on the O-1 visa program, thereby allowing any number of applicants to qualify each fiscal year. In order to apply for Labor Certification (LC), an applicant must obtain an employer to sponsor him/her through a job offer. The LC process consists of three phases leading to permanent residency. The first phase involves obtaining a Labor Certification from the Department of Labor (DOL). The second phase involves obtaining an immigrant visa petition approval from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) based on the DOL Labor Certification. The third phase involves the applicant's application to either adjust status from non-immigrant to permanent resident here in the U.S., or obtain an immigrant visa at an American Consulate in the home country. In order to procure permanent residence through the LC process, the sponsoring employer must be able to verify, through a good faith recruitment effort, that there are no qualified U.S. workers available, willing, and/or able to fill the position being offered. | ||||
