Employer and Contract Requirements for J-1 Waiver Approval
For a J-1 waiver application to be approved, a physician's employer and employment contract must meet certain requirements. For instance, the contract must offer full-time employment for at least three years and exclude any sort of non-compete clause. The employer must also be located in an area which is federally designated as "medically underserved."
Immigration attorney, Angela Lopez, revisits the podcast to explain these requirements in more detail and discuss how they might vary depending on location, employer type, and other factors.
