The U.S Department of State – Bureau of Consular Affairs, recently issued a Statement on their website and twitter, requesting all medical professionals across the globe seeking to work in the United States of America majorly on fighting the COVID-19 scourge on a work or exchange visitor visa (H or J) to cross check with the nearest US Embassy or Consulate for a Visa appointment.
According to the Statement posted on Thursday, March 26, J-1 Alien Physicians (medical residents) or Foreign Medical professionals already in the US were tasked to consult with their program sponsor, ECFMG, to extend their programs in the United States with stay ranging between One to Seven years.
The issue also warned that, the expiration date on a U.S visa wouldn’t determine how long one can be in the United States and that the possible way one could get information is through their official website.
By Friday, the State Department officials explained their original posting, saying they were only processing people who already were accepted for jobs or studies in the United States and that, those who need to extend their stay or adjust their visa status must apply with the United States Citizen and Immigration Services (USCIS) via https://www.uscis.gov/visit-united-states/extend-your-stay
