J-1 Visa Waiver Granted to Family Medicine Physician from India to Servie in a Medically Underserved Community in Texas

September 29, 2014 – This physician from India was completing her residency training in family medicine while on a J-1 visa. Per the J-1 Visa requirement, the physician was initially required to go back to India to fulfill the requirement of providing healthcare to people of India. However, do to the critical need of family physicians in Texas, a health center petitioned for the physician’s J-1 Waiver.

The health center retained our firm to file the J-1 waiver in order to waive the 2-year foreign residence requirement. We filed the petition explaining the great need for a family physician as well as the furtherance of the goals of the state and national interest because the program reduces the cost of health care. Upon review , the USCIS approved the application on September 29, 2014.
