H1B for Foriegn medical graduates after residency
Jan 2, 2021

I am dating a girl who is a foreign medical graduate (MBBS/MS and MPH from John Hopkins) and has cleared USMLE level 3, currently on J1 and entering year 3 (PGY-3) of her residency (internal medicine) at Michigan. She has a license to practice in Michigan. Is it possible for her to get H1B after finishing her residency and find a job in Seattle. I am Canadian on TN and she is Indian. It seems that in order for her to get H1B waiver, she may have to work in some backward/remote area. I am concerned about this and whether to continue the relationship if we can't live and work in the same city after her residency. Anyone with experience regarding this?

If she’s in her PGY-3, she should have already signed for a waiver job somewhere as spots fill up quick. Look up the Conrad 30 program in Washington and Oregon. 3 years will go by quick. Plus if she works as hospitalist, it’s usually 7 on and 7 off. Might just work.
