Hi Reddy,
My friend has similar problem. He rejected J1 and opted for backout. Now the Program people are threatening him that they will inform the NRMP, and saying he can\'t apply for next year in the NRMP match.
Is that true? Please email at fmg01@hotmail.com to share information.

Hello, there:
 
I am trying to understand why the Step 3 is needed for the H-1B. Because you don\'t need step 3 to obtain a training license (or temp license, however you want to call it). And in the H visa application form (I-129), you are only required to show adequate education credential (in this case, ECFMG certificate) and official permit to start your employment (in this case, training license), nowhere does it mention step 3, so where the step 3 comres into play?

I have not yet took step 3 and are applying for a H-1B, therefore I would appreciate greatly if you can help me go through this, thanks!

Please paste your input here or e-mail it to ipotrader@hotmail.com, thanks!

Chris

How about applying for H1 without Step 3 results and later furnish when they ask? Has anyone has any experience in this? My wife just took step 3 and as you know step 3 result will take another 4 weeks. In order to avoid any further delay, can she send her H1 application without step 3 scores?
Please share your thoughts and experience.
thanks

step3 and H-1
u need to understand that J-i goes thru the ECFMG. H-1 has nothing to do with ECFMG( Philly). The H-1 is a non immigrant worker visa, chitragupta said that MLE 3 is necessary for the H-1 and INS added it to the list of H-1 requirements and everybody gets punished for the same reason.Eventhough the work, responsibilities and legal liability are identical to both the J and H residents, the step 3 was added and no escape from that now. One needs to petition I-129 for H1 and its dealt with by the INS DIRECTLY, ECFMG IS NOT IN ANY WAY CONCERNED WITH THE TRAINING.The H related issues like cap( number allowed to work annually) etc are applicable and their applications are processed with other nonimmigrant workers applications like software engineers and physiotherapists etc. Finally do not be scared of Ji visa the worst case scenario is that u may have to go back for 2 yrs to home country for HRR. To Indians - half a dozen compatriots went back for 2yrs and returned safely without any trouble on H1. So take up residency which is not easy to get into.dont sacrifice residency and waste years before residency.

Currently it takes a month or less. Look up the breaking news section at www.immigration-law.com and you will find some info there.
Question for you-
How long did it take for you to complete the LCA and wage determination, which is required before filing for H1? I am told this is taking some time and I am trying to know how much.
Please advise how much time it took from starting the process to filing for H1 with NSC. Thanks

I did this process in September of last year for a job located in Oregon. The LCA was approved in three days and wage determination could be done based on their state website\'s employment department within an hour. The whole process was as smooth, painless and fast as you could imagine. And the people at the state employment office (I guess state DOL) were really friendly.

MJ1, it depends in which state your residency is going to be. You need state license for the H1B in some states (for exmpl MA) and don\'t need in other states (for exmpl NY). So ask the hospital you are starting your residency in (the secretary in the department knows all about that). The procedure of obtaining a license takes around 6-8 weeks, so you don\'t have much time, if you want to start on July 1 and you should hurry.
 Wish you luck.
