H-1B FMG Visa

H-1Bs for Foreign/International Medical Graduates offers the best non-immigrant visa category for the job.

Our approach to processing H-1B FMG/IMG Visas

Every year, our office helps Foreign Medical Graduates(FMGs) or International Medical Graduates (IMGs) obtain H-1B Visas. We do this by working closely with both the Hospital and the FMGs closely and directly. We have the ability to process petitions in record time and ensure the approvals are mailed directly to the FMGs abroad (with a copy to the hospital) at no extra cost to you.

Most teaching hospitals that turn down H-1B processing for FMGs/IMGs do so because they are unaware of the process and do not wish to be part of the processing.

When they use our services though, they become aware of the sheer ease of using this form of sponsorship in bringing qualified FMGs to work for them and the advantage of being able to retain them beyond the medical residency program in hospitalist positions. We urge you to speak with one of Attorneys before making the decision to use the J-1 visa instead of the H-1B to bring qualified FMGs to the U.S. We are convinced that we will be able to convey the relative merits of this visa category over all others and contribute to the success of your residency/fellowship program.

FAQ

I am a foreign doctor. What is the procedure to enter the U.S. and work?2018-03-01T22:27:37+00:00
Generally, all Foreign Medical Graduates will have to complete 3 years of Post Graduate Residency in the U.S. prior to obtaining a full-fledged license to practice medicine. The minimum requirement for admission into a residency program is passing of the ECFMG certification and USMLE exams steps 1 and 2. The ECFMG website has useful information http://www.ecfmg.org/ about the process.
The Service may also require that a candidate complete USMLE step 3 and obtain a limited license to practice medicine before issuing an H-1B Non-immigrant Visa to enter and participate in the Residency program.
