In my case, My original contract is to do 40 hours of primary care job at a clinic for 40 hours/week. After my waiver got approved the asked me to do Emergency room coverage for a diferrent company that he owns. I used to do 7-8 ER calls/month inaddition to my primary care job which amounts to 150000$ per year. He pays my salary 135000$ out of ER and he makes me work for free at his clinic.

My lawyer is very helpfull in my case, She helped to write an affidavit, she also notifed to DHHS about the hardship and got an ok and then she filed a premium processing to INS just today. I dont know whats gonna happen. I will keep you posted

thanks

thanks buddy

I m on the same boat i signed up for primary care position by a clinic and got asked to cover er during day time at the hospital next door.who is your attorney by the way.I m an internist and been asked to see pediatric cases also do you think these would create extentuating circumstances

regards,
 
Does you initial contract say anything of ER coverage? I think it is breech of contract. you should contact an attorney and ask if there is any violation in contract.

I am not sure if I can post my attorneys name on this public domain. I should ask her permission before I do that. I am sure she will be happy for referring a client. I will keep in touch

Drj1victim,
when did you turn in your resignation? I'm in process of J1 transfer and I received an offer letter today. They are going to mail me the contract in a few days. I'm going to start at the new job on 11/6/06. Should I turn in my resignation now or wait until H1B has been approved?
Thanks in advance for your reply.
 
hi I m going through transfer as well

hi guys i m in the process of interviewing for j1 jobs as well i m tryin to transfer as well my employer told me i could leave and just asked me to give them a months notice before i resign .Do i still have to come up with extentuations even if my employer has no objections to my leaving.do i need a letter from them or once i get a contract i can move on to my new job?

thanks
 
i got a contract offer from the VA hospital.My attorney is processing the paper work.my employee doesnt mind me leaving.I dont have pressing extentuating circumstances except seeing pediatric cases at times despite being an internist.my attorney said he d put in the paperwork and will see how it goes.he mentioned sometimes immigration officers give a hard time if they see MDs switching waivers without pressing circumstances.what do u guys think

Click to expand...

I have heard that in at least one case during change of status stage of GC, this question was raised again and USCIS said that circumstances did not warrant the transfer even the transfer was granted by USCIS... go figure:rolleyes:. I don't know what happend to that case. Ask your attorney to find this out. Immigration attornies have conference calls now and then. He/she should find out from the attorney who had that case.

What is the advise of your attorney? What's the reason he's going to put for changing job?
