No Title USMLE is required to practice as a physician in the US. There may be other exam requirements to work as a radiology technician

No Title you will need to apply directly to INS for a new H-1b (for the new location) explaining the extenuating circumstances prompting the job change. you do NOT need to involve either USDA or state dept of health.  I relocated while doing j-1 waiver but my relocation was prompted...

No Title It looks like most people won\'t even be eligible to apply for extension since the have specified the 7 categories of eligibility for filing for extension If this goes through I am seriously thinking of buying a house and adding my parents name to it . that way they can claim that...

No Title What you are saying is pretty unbelievable. With so many MD\'s from India around ( including myself)it is hard to imagine a place where this could happen. Are you sure you are not having a psychotic breakdown and hallucinating ??? I would suggest an appointment with your shrink...

No Title    i think you will need to put POE/DOE from the time you last entered USA regardless of what visa it was on.

No Title I think we can expect INS to be progressively less liberal in the post 9/11 era when it comes to the stay they allow you when you come in on a visitors visa. Last summer my parents asked for 4 months but were given 6 months stay. They had an open ticket and had not decided on a return...

No Title I do not think what they are proposing will need legislation . they want to give admission for 30 days only initially to visitors. INS has wide latitude on how long of a stay they allow you when they stamp your I-94 at POE. they may be able to change policy to giving admission for only...

Bottom Line is that in theory the INS can revoke GC if it determines that you did not "intend" to work "permanently" with the sponsor employer. In reality this happens rarely if ever at all. Most people leave their sponsoring employer soon after getting GC and this has been...

No Title even though leaving the employer and its consequences on GC are hotly talked about topics on all discussion boards I personally am yet to hear of anybody who has actually lost his GC because he left the sponsoring employer too soon. I have been following these boards for 3-4 years...

No Title I travelled from DELHI to detroit by NW/KLM last jan with just the passport stamp without any problems

No Title if she has an unexpired stamp in her passport she really does not need the plastic card. I travelled to india last year with just the stamp and had no problems coming back. Here at POE they will definitely recognize her stamp. i was worried about Indian officials at New Delhi but...

No Title I dont think it would affect your case adversely in any way at all. if you have a good reason you should give it a try

No Title you should have a lawyer help you with this. those numbers do look high but are similar to the numbers for my locality in Michigan. Other thing I had heard was that you can add the dollar amounts of your benefits to reach that figure ( eg you can add $5000 for malpractice , $5000 for...

No Title the prevailing wage info (for purposes of H-1B and labor cert) is available online at the following website http://edc.dws.state.ut.us/owl.asp use the advanced search feature the codes for physicians go from 29-1061 to 29-1069

No Title another point I would like to make is that just getting a J-1 waiver ( or NIW approved does not automatically cancell your J-1 status. So your wife will continue to be in J-2 status ( and be able to work) till you change your status to H-1B. This is assuming you continue with your...

No Title J-1 waiver is NOT a requirement for getting an NIW ( people who have never been on a J-1 can get NIW also).   People who have been on J-1 cannot file for adjustment of status( I-485) or Consular immigrant visa till they get a J-1 waiver approved ( or spend 2 years in...

No Title this is a controversial point and different lawyers have different advice on this. In my opinion you CAN file I-140 ( NIW)without getting a J-1 waiver. if your lawyer is reluctant to do this try Ron Gotcher ( www.imminfo.com ). In any case it will not make a whole lot of...

No Title j-1 waiver and NIW are independant issues. theoretically you can apply for NIW as soon as you sign a contract with employer in the underserved area and can get a "public interest" letter from state dept of health. you do not have to wait till you start working for the...

No Title to count his time during residency towards the 5 years you still would need a "Public interest" letter for that location ( where the residency is located) and an approved NIW. otherwise the years you spent in residency will not get counted even though it is in a HPSA...

No Title only if you are on an H-1B visa. time on J-1 is not counted. Also you will need a letter from state dept of health stating that the work ( during residency) is in "public interest"
