Information Specific to J-1 Visa Holders
With regard to those foreign nationals who have a two-year home residency requirement, please note the following:
...
1. However, the O-1 is not a waiver. A waiver or fulfillment of the two-year home residency is required in order to be eligible for a “green card.”
2. The two-year home residence requirement can be satisfied incrementally over a number of years.
3. The O-1 can be initially obtained for up to three years, and extended indefinitely in one-year increments.
4. The O-1 requires a job offer and an employer.
Information Specific to Physicians
1. The employer can be a hospital, research institution, private practice or corporation.

2. The O-1 is available to primary care physicians, specialists, general scientists, as well as other professionals with distinction in their field.
