According to certain reports, a recent US immigration legislation might make the procedure of the US immigration simpler for the migrant doctors, and facilitate the import of such physicians into the nation. Via enabling easier path to the US immigration for the migrant-doctors, Washington DC may also positively address the problem of the increasing scarcity of such skilled professionals in the country. Besides, it may also–to a large degree–reduce the increasing dependence of the new entrants on the American emergency rooms.

US stay for overseas physicians

The recent US immigration bill says that it would (in all likelihood) become possible for such doctors, arriving to the nation for medical residency, to continue to stay therein, post successfully concluding their training with the sole requirement being they ought to be ready to serve for a period of three years across undeserved areas in the country (or at a place which badly requires doctors). Hence, the basic condition for getting the right to reside in the nation for the overseas-born health practitioners is that they should be comfortable with the idea of working across the rural US.

Available–two kinds of US permits for migrant-physicians

Such doctors may turn-up on the American territories and work there, via pocketing either a US H-1B Permit (specialty visa) or a US J1 Permit (educational visa). While the former is a permit meant for the specialty employees, the latter is for educational or cultural objects and is normally meant for the overseas students keen to receive training in the country, for a short-term duration.

And post the conclusion of their training, they have to shift back to their respective country & live there for a minimum of two years. in the aftermath of the said stay in their home nation, such aliens may duly file an application for the prized US Permanent Residency Status.
