The Labor procedure was long (2 months preparing + 3 months approval), but not very complicated. I went through the Reduction in Recruitment Process (RIR). After securing the job, I puled out the job advertisements for the last six months (from journals) , messages from recruiters, resumes of priviously interviewed candidates and why they were rejected, internet postings, internal posting for at least a month and submitted that to the State kept. of labor. They took a month processing and and sent to the Federal dept, who then took another two months. However all that went without a hitch.

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.

H1 stamped for a Physician\'s job( not residency). I hold a licence.Are u sure u need physician\'s licence for H1to join residency? or just all components of USMLE? My info is old, Im afraid.Consulate is not kind on H1 and F1s. Stick around and get into residency than risking a refusal at Indian Cos. But its ur decision.Goodluck.

hi dharma rao,
Thanks. but some lawyers say that INS doesn\'t like conversion from b-1 to h-1. Is that true? so they feel it\'s better to go to home country for visa.

I received my first H1 in 1996 after passing USMLE 3. You do not need a license if the job description allows you to work without license like in Residency. My second job required to have limited permit from the NY state, but I received my H1 in 2000 well before I received my Permit from NY State. My third H1 was received in another state, for which I enclosed the application for the License since the job required a License. Hope this will clarify the doubt.

Hello
My hospital sponsored my H1b last year(2000) and after some problems the approval notice came in Jan 2001 . The hospital has asked me to join with the batch starting in July 2001 .
Is there any problems in going to the counslate for visa stamping for a July 1st 2001 start date even though the visa has a October 1st 2000 start date .

There are people who got H1 without giving step 3. get a good lawyer and apply for H-1 based on contract from hospital and your step 1, step 2 scores and show some documentation that you have applied for step 3 and will be giving in so and so date and will be informing INS when it is ready. Hopefully INS will grant you a H1. It has done it for few others before.
(The law says you have to pass USMLE, it diidn\'t mention step 2, step 2, step 3 etc, however it is intrepreted as passing all the steps)

Jaz ,where was your residency? NY doesn\'t require license, but other states do.
I had to wait 8 weeks for my license in order to apply for H1. Also I couldn\'t start residency in my state without license. However
my friend in NY started PGY1without license.

The Madras Consulate has only made even more stringent notices on offering H-1\'s to physicians. I suggest you go in via the J-1 and change by waiver once u are done. Or go in for a course with F-1 like the MPH and change over. Or check this better option out. Go for research that is if you are research oriented. You will get a H-1 that way. If there is anyone who can help me by giving me a contact number of anyone who has gone via research to the US, I would definitely appreciate it. I am exploring research opporunities and I want to ask about papers required to be submitted at the Madras embassy. Does anyone know what papers need to be submitted at the Madras embassy when you want to go for research to the US? Thanks in advance.
