Hi Shriya,

The H-1B visa allows the prospective trainee to avoid the J-1 visa requirement to leave the U.S. for two years by petitioning for permanent resident status in the U.S. while in residency training. An applicant for an H-1B visa must be

(1) ECFMG certified (ie have passed USMLE 1, 2CK and 2CS);
(2) must have ALSO passed USMLE step 3 AND
(3) must hold a license to practice in a U.S. state before application (it takes about three weeks to get a training license after your match).

Residency programs decide individually which type of visa they will support for their candidates for residency training. Previously most did NOT support H-1b applications, although the new visa laws passed in October 2000 mean that now many that previously did not offer them should do so. You should ask your programs directly which they will consider for you. Remember that many have the default position of refusing such visas (and even note such decisions on residency and hospital websites), but if you learn about them, and talk to the international officers at these institutions, many will reverse their decision and apply for this visa on your behalf.

Currently all academic institutions have unrestricted access to H1B visas, without a cap. This means that your H1B visa is likely to be easily available, and processed quickly (though some can still take up to six months). A standard H1b application can still takes about 2-3 months for processing, so to be ready for a July 1st start, you have to be quick about your license and your visa application right after you match, unless you use expedited processing which can be achieved by paying an extra $1000 , and the visa will be approved within approx 14 days.

You will have to think carefully about which visa is right for you. Note that the Match takes place in mid-March, and for a July start you would likely have only a short time to secure a state medical license and submit your H-1B visa application.

8. The Residency process:

How to start and go about the process of securing a residency position?

1. Pick your desired residency (internal medicine, surgery, radiology etc.)
2. Send away for an ERAS (Electronic Residency Application System) application
3. Research your destination hospitals (see AMA's FREIDA online)
4. Complete and dispatch the ERAS application to ECFMG
5. Register as an independent applicant with the National Residency Matching Program.
6. Watch the Automated Document Tracking System (ADTS) for the progress of your ERAS submission
7. Call/e-mail the hospitals that have received your ERAS application, and ask about interview schedules. Request early decisions based on your need to complete international travel
8. Attend for your interviews
9. Rank your favorite programs in NRMP's ROL (rank order list)
10. Submit your rank order list by internet to the National Residency Matching Program
11. While awaiting the match results, research your visa options and send for the licensing application packs for the states that you feel most likely to match with.
12. Obtain your match results (or enter the scramble if unmatched)
13. Sign and return your contract
14. If immigrating on a J1 visa, get the DS2019 form from ECFMG and apply through your local consulate. If immigrating on a H-visa, you'll need to get your state license completed first (requires your ECFMG certificate and a copy of the signed contract with the hospital)
15. Organize accommodation, flights, cargo etc.

The following folw chart will make the process a bit more clear.
