Overview

Now in its fourth edition, authors Greg Siskind and Elissa Taub provide the most up-to-date information regarding immigration for foreign physicians in The Physician Immigration Handbook. Physician immigration is perhaps the most complicated area of U.S. immigration law, but The Physician Immigration Handbook, 4th Edition, simplifies that process in a way that is easy to follow and understand. Updated annually, The Handbook explains what foreign physicians need to know to apply for graduate medical training at American teaching hospitals in the United States and how they can remain in the United States to pursue their careers. The Physician Immigration Handbook follows the typical American journey for the international medical graduate (IMG). First, the Handbook reviews the application process through which physicians receive ECFMG certification, eventually leading to admittance to U.S. graduate medical training programs. Then it discusses the two major immigration pathways open to IMGs who want to come to the United States for graduate medical training: the J-1 visa and the H-1B visa. The Handbook walks the IMG through training to post-training work, then on to permanent residency (the green card process) and ultimately to U.S. citizenship. It even delves into employment issues, such as layoffs, mergers, and acquisitions, while also discussing special benefits available to foreign physicians in the U.S. military. The Physician Immigration Handbook was written as a guide for IMGs, recruiters, human resource professionals, and even government officials who need to know how the U.S. immigration system works and the special rules applied to physicians within that framework. The Handbook includes 24 chapters in an easy-to-follow, question-and-answer format: Qualifying for Graduate Medical Training in the United States The J-1 and the H-1B Visas Seeking a Visitor Visa to Pursue Graduate Medical Training J-1 Visas for Graduate Medical Training The J-1 Home-Residency Requirement Conrad 30 Waivers 'Public Interest' Waivers Hardship and Persecution Waivers J-2 Status for Family Members of a J-1 Exchange Visitor The H-1B Visa Process Cap-Exemption Strategies for the H-1B Visa H-4 Family Members Accompanying an H-1B Visa Holder Consular Processing of Nonimmigrant Visas Lawful Permanent Residency Obtaining Permanent Residency Through PERM Labor Certification National Interest Waivers Other Paths to Achieving Permanent Residency Obtaining U.S. Citizenship The Impact of Employment Termination The Impact of Mergers and Acquisitions Immigration and the Locum Tenens The Role of Physician Recruiters Special Issues Affecting Canadian Physicians Hiring an Immigration Attorney.
