H-1B Visa Overview
Foreign medical graduates who qualify may apply for the H-1B Visa. Physicians that obtain a J-1 Visa Waiver based on employment in an underserved area are not subject to the caps on H-1B numbers. Physicians must have passed FLEX I & II or USMLE I, II and III; have an unrestricted licence to practice in a foreign state and the state of intended employment as well as a degree in medicine.
