Hello,

I am applying for a J1 visa for the first time. Can I get statement of need from Indian embassy in Us or will I have to contact ministry of health in India. I heard that the Indan embassy in US issues SON to those who are getting a J1 extention. The first timers have to contact ministry of health as per a new rule. Can someone calrify on that.

Thanks.
 
Talk to ECFMG. They have one particular person in the ministry of health for each country whom they recognize to provide the statement of need. If your letter is from a different (maybe even higher ranking official), it is no good.
 
I am an Indian citizen residing in the Gulf and am trying to get the letter of need for my initial J1 visa. Have you found any information regarding this? My e-mail is sumiya_m@hotmail.com, and i would really appreciate the help, Im freaking out!!!!

thanks
 
Visit Indian embassy website of NY and in the education section, click on studying in USA. Once u click there it opens up page showing "NOC for Indian Doctors".
or
I have attached the add below just copy and paste it.

I have known people who have got their NOC from indian embasssy washington without applying in India.

Surprisingly all this info was available on indian embassy of washington site but the updated site has no mention of this, only available on NY embassy web site
I hope this will help u.
