Immigration laws and regulations are peppered with unique requirements, specifically for medical doctors. The Murthy Law Firm frequently receives inquiries from physicians who have questions about eligibility for certain immigration benefits. Whether a resident or a practicing physician, a medical researcher or instructor, our firm can assist with the immigration needs of the medical community.

What We Can Do For You : At the Murthy Law Firm, we can consult with you to discuss your case in detail and provide opinions on the immigration options that best meet your needs. For instance, we can advise about the requirements of the various J waivers available to overcome the two-year home residency requirement. We also consult with physicians on temporary employment visas, such as H1Bs and O-1s. Physicians seeking green cards for permanent employment may pursue labor certifications or, in certain cases, may be eligible to file in the EB1 or National Interest Waiver (NIW) green card categories. Whatever your career level or discipline within the field of medicine, the Murthy Law Firm can help to navigate the dizzying maze of immigration laws and regulations for medical doctors.
