San Antonio, Texas Health Care Institution Approved for Conrad 30 J-1 Waivers For Two Internal Medicine Physicians October 24, 2011 - Our client, a large healthcare institution with a level I trauma center, has successfully acquired the services of two J-1 physicians to join the practice upon completion of their residency programs. The waiver applications submitted on their behalf by our law firm received recommendations through the Conrad 30 program of the State Texas. The two physicians are completing their internal medicine residency and will commence employment once the final waiver approval through the USCIS is completed. Both will work in a medically underserved area in San Antonio, Texas. With the approval of the J-1 visa waivers, the internist physicians are eligible to consider whether to pursue the green card through the national interest waiver (NIW) or PERM process, depending on the individual situations presented.
