Guidelines more flexible for D.C. visa waiver program
The District of Columbia Department of Health recently updated and released more flexible guidelines for its D.C. Conrad 30/J-1 Visa Waiver Program.
The updated guidelines are more flexible with regard to specialists, are more clearly organized and include guidelines for National Interest Waiver letters of support. The District of Columbia has many unfilled program spots and invites all international medical graduates interested in obtaining a J-1 visa waiver to consider employment in Washington.
Learn more about the program and guidelines. Questions may be directed to Kaleb Johnson at (202) 442-9380 or Joe Monroe at (202) 442-9168.
