I am a physician intraining Board certified from the US.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I will be finishing my training in New York city, and will be living in Canada for family reasons.<\/strong><\/p>\n

My 2 years home residency are in my country of last permanent residency which is Lebanon and not Canada.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Can I apply for a J1 waiver job through your office despite the fact that my J1 status expired and I didnt fullfill my 2 years home residency? and I am living in Canada and not the USA?\u00a0or the only way to apply for a J1 waiver is if the J1 visa is still valid and I am still physically present in the USA and\u00a0still didnt finish my training in the US??<\/strong><\/p>\n

Knowing that I finished my internal medicine training and am already Board certified.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thank you<\/strong><\/p>\n

You do not need to be present in the US to apply for a J1 waiver.\u00a0As long as you obtain a full time job offer to work in an underserved (HPSA\/MUA) area, we can help you.\u00a0Once the waiver is approved, you will need to enter on an H1B visa to begin work for the following three years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
