Services include

Conrad Waivers
Physicians who complete GME in J-1 visa status are subject to a home residency requirement. To avoid this career interruption, you will need a waiver. But slots are limited and timing is crucial. Get guidance before and during your job search. We develop ranking strategy based on case strength and state slot availability. Learn how changes to your application can put you at a competitive advantage. We’re flexible- whether you simply want some job search direction or full case submission. And we don’t leave you hanging if secondary options become necessary.
-
Waiver Transfers
You got the J waiver, but now 36 months of service seems impossible to complete. Employment relationships break down. Contracts get broken. Corporate mergers are the new normal. Family members face challenges in acclimation, employment, medical or educational needs. Learn whether your situation qualifies as an extenuating circumstance. Get direction about your options, waiver transfer strategy, and will keep your concerns private because we work solely for you.
-
IGA and Other Waivers
Conrad 30 may not be your only option when seeking a J-1 waiver. Interested governmental agencies such as HHS, DRA, ARC, VA, SRCC offer opportunities for waivers that expand timing and availability. Cut through the alphabet soup and learn how these agencies could be a better solution for your waiver needs.
Hardship waivers play a vital role where completion of service obligations would pose significant hardship to US citizen or permanent resident family members.
-
Naturalization
Eligible green card holders can become American citizens through naturalization. Benefit from the contributions you’ve made to your patients and to the US economy. Participate in the political process as a registered voter. Enjoy ease of travel with an American passport. Sponsor family members for immigration benefits. Position your family to maximize estate tax benefits. Make naturalization the final stop on your immigration journey.
-
PNIW
PNIW (physician national interest waiver) is an underutilized green card path reserved for clinical physicians working in health shortage areas. PNIW can be filed more promptly than PERM based applications, securing a priority date. PNIW provides a streamlined advantage for spouses seeking employment opportunities. In this self-sponsored category, physicians avoid direct involvement by their employers and get added flexibility that the PERM process doesn’t offer. This means independence and privacy as you seek long-term immigration goals.
-
AOS and Family
Destination Green Card. Sometimes family based immigration options provide a better course, but that’s not something you want to publicize at work. Envision private counsel representing your personal interests, not those of an employer. From marriage based applications to ‘following to join’ after one spouse completes waiver service— we assist with all adjustment needs. We manage ongoing renewal of EAD and AP documents and track priority dates with leading software. Lean on us to take care of the details, so you can focus on more important things.
