Application packet and support letter is sent to the U.S. Department of State

After a careful review and scoring of all application materials, DPH will make a decision on supporting a physician for a J-1 waiver.

  • Applicants supported by DPH, will have their entire application packet, including the support letter, sent by DPH to the U.S. DOS.  A copy of the support letter will also be sent to the J-1 physician, the employer, and the legal representative as appropriate.
  • Once the application is sent to U.S. DOS, DPH will have no additional information regarding the status of a candidate unless a specific issue or question arises from the U.S. DOS. 
  • Candidates can check their status at the U.S. DOS.
  • Physicians must also obtain an H-1B visa in order to begin employment. DPH plays no role in this part of the process.
