Hi,
I'm sorry if this has been answered many times before but I really don't know where to look for it.
The question is:
I have a friend who is a physician and has a degree from his home country and would like to come and work in the US. What kind of visa and requirements have to be fulfilled?, I heard about H1 visa and that he has to pass some test to get a License in this state (Utah). Also I heard that there is a J1 category but only for people under 40 (he is 39, almost 40) (Is this true?). Also his wife is a Nurse, she will come with him as well.
Also does he have to get a job before applying for the visa?, if so is there a website you might know where they post physician jobs for foreign professionals?
I don't know if it helps but he's been here a couple of times several years ago in F1 status learning English (never overstayed). Also worked as a voluntary translating in a hospital.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
