The US Department of Agriculture (the “USDA”)has released regulations allowing that agency to act as an interested government agency for J-1 visa holders subject to the two year home residency requirement because they came to the US to receive graduate medical training and performed patient care. THE USDA has established a program where it will support waiver applications for foreign medical graduates who sign employment contracts to serve in “medically-underserved” rural areas of the US, provided they fulfill certain other basic criteria. To qualify for a waiver based on support from the USDA, the applicant must have a written employment contract for a period of not less than three years with a hospital, clinic, in which he/she agrees to work not less than 40 hours per week as a primary care physician in a medically-underserved rural area of the United States.
