Miller Mayer recently received approval of a green card petition requesting a national interest waiver (NIW) for a doctor from India. Obtaining an employment-based green card can be a long and complex process, especially if the employer must go through the labor certification advertising process. However, one green card option, the national interest waiver, does not require a job offer or a labor certification. In this case, the doctor qualified for an NIW based on their employment at a facility located in a health professional shortage area.
Receiving an approved immigrant visa petition is a critical step toward the long-term residence and employment plans of physicians in the United States. Likewise, hospitals and health care facilities have a strong interest in retaining their experienced foreign national medical practitioners in the long term.
Miller Mayer has extensive experience working with hospitals and their staff to further their immigration and employment goals in the United States. We are proud to use our expertise to assist hospitals around the country in recruiting and maintaining their staff of foreign national doctors.
