Miller Mayer immigration attorney Sandra Bruno recently received approval of an H-1B nonimmigrant visa petition for a physician of international renown. The physician, a Canadian national who was born in Vietnam, is an otolaryngologist of international renown whose petition was approved in just 7 days without a request for additional evidence from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
Clinical physicians seeking H-1B nonimmigrant visas typically must show that they have earned a U.S. or foreign medical degree; passing USMLE scores; ECFMG certification or English language competency; and a medical license in the state of intended employment. Physicians of “national or international renown,” however, are exempt from the USMLE requirement.
Miller Mayer has extensive experience with H-1B visa filings. H-1B filings for physicians of international renown must meet a specific set of standards. Having experienced immigration counsel on your side is critical to successfully demonstrating this standard to the USCIS.
