Title: National Interest Waivers for Second Preference Employment-Based Immigrant Physicians Serving in Medically Underserved Areas or at Department of Veterans Affairs Facilities | |
Abstract: On November 29, 1999, Public Law 106-113 was enacted. Section 117 amended the Immigration and Nationality Act at section 203 to provide national interest waivers to alien physicians agreeing to practice five years in designated medically underserved areas or at Veterans Affairs facilities. The Department of Justice issued two interim rules to amend 8 CFR parts 204 and 245 to implement the new statutory provisions and to allow applicants to begin to take advantage of the new provisions. The Department of Homeland Security now seeks to finalize the process by issuing a final rule. | |
