Current through Register Vol. 28, No. 7, January 1, 2025
Section 4104-2.0 - Background

International medical graduates (IMG) completing their graduate medical education in the United States under a J-1 Visa are required to return to their country of nationality for at least two years before reentering the United States. Acting as an interested state agency, DHSS may make a recommendation to the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Consular Affairs Waiver Review Division (DOS) to, in turn, recommend that the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (UCIS) waive the home residence requirement for up to thirty (30) J-1 physicians annually (this includes 10 J-1 flex waivers which may be used in areas that are not federally designated as a Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA)), but nevertheless have been identified by the state as being underserved. In order to receive a letter of support for the J-1 physician applicant from DHSS, applications must meet requirements, described herein.
