All the best to applicants.
Very informative, thank you!
Hi Akshee, Thank you for such a detailed and helpful video. Do you have any tips for securing a biometric + interview slot for a J1 visa at the current time, I haven't seen any slots showing up for over a week now? Thanks!
hi akshee, how long does the entire process take ?
Hello akshe.
Thank you so much for the detailed video. It was very helpful!
While booking for emergency appointment they are asking for tentative travel date. Now in ds 160 I mentioned it as the start date of the program ( mentioned in my ds2019). Should that be the tentative travel date ?
You can go to US a month prior to start date. I wrote tentative date as a month before because my program wanted me to be here for orientation and other things.
Hi Akshee; Can you prepare a video on commonly asked visa interview questions? (for J1 clinical visa interview) Thanks!
Sure Bharat!
Hi. Thanks for the video which was really helpful. Have a question. Do you need a hard copy of the DS 2019 or will a pdf suffice? My TPL is not sure about it.
You definitely need the hard copy. They’ll need to send it via mail. My program sent me a scanned copy initially followed by physical one.
@@AksheeBatra Thank you!
Want is the length of stay?. My DS-2019 is experies in a year but my program last 3 years
hi, thank you for this helpful video. Should every gap (small or big) be discussed in ecfmg cv for j1?
I would say the big ones definitely, if you were doing something. It doesn’t matter much though.
Hey ! Did you mention anything in the Cover letter from Statement of Need about sending the SoN to ECFMG via email, or th MoH did that by themselves ?
Hey! I mentioned in the letter to email the SoN to ECFMG. They emailed ECFMG and cc’ed me in the email. It’s always better to ask. Whether it’s done or not depends on the govt. officials working there.
@@AksheeBatra what is the ECFMG email that we should mention in cover letter?
Hi
As Indian studied abroad now working in NHS, with no MCI registration , can we obtain SON from MCI and should one apply for J1 in UK or India
Hello Akshee, do Green Card holders have wider choices range of programs and higher chance of matching into residency?? Please help me!
Hey Bryan! Yes, GC holders have wider range of programs to apply and thus, higher chances of matching. 1. Some residency programs don’t offer visa. 2. Even the ones that offer visa, prefer a candidate who doesn’t require one because of the uncertainty. 3. As a GC holder, you have more opportunities to find research positions, or Health care related jobs in US which improves your profile. There might be other reasons as well but these are the top ones that I can think of right now.
@@AksheeBatra Thank you so much 🙏 Akshee !! It helps a lot!
Hi Akshee
My date of programme start on DS-2019 is 15 july 2021 and the form is yet to reach to me, it may reach here after some days. What I wanted to ask is what do I put in the intended date of arrival ? My programme start date has already passed. With the covid situation around if the employer in US would have kept the date of start in august even, still I could not have managed to arrive in august as it it gonna take a lot of time for VISA approval and travel.
Hope everything turned out well for you. I wasn’t aware of how I could have helped you in this situation. I’m still figuring things out! All the best!
Hi, what if you have done your MBBS from india but you are a citizen from another country say Canada but you are an OCI( overseas citizen of india) card holder which is issued by the GOI, do you apply for the J1 visa from india( because after your residency you wish to work in india) or do you apply the J1 from canada??
hi, I am in a similar boat. Wondering what you chose to do and how did the process go for you?
Hello doctor, after we change from J1 visa to H1B does the rules of J1 we signed for like home country return will be still applicable on us or only the new visa rules will be applicable ?
Yes! It’ll still be applicable. But waiver jobs are also available.
@@AksheeBatra Got it , thank you so much.
Hello Akshee,
For Hospitality students which sponsor u recommend it's very difficult to find a genuine sponsor.
I have no idea about hospitality. Sorry.
Hi, what’s the visa copy to be attached in the SoN form, since we will be applying for the visa post ECFMG sponsorship?
Statement of Need - How to fill?
Refer to this video. You don’t need to attach, if you don’t have one.
Hello Doctor, the first email (asking for beginning of the J1 Visa application process and Social security number) has to be written to whom
Your residency program.
How long is this j1 visa valid. How can we renew the visa. Do we need to come back for renewal. Please reply.
It can be renewed in any country except USA, the duration depends on your luck, most get one year, some peeps get 3 year visa
What do you mean by stamping receiving date. Please explain.
It’s not necessary but when I gave my SON application in person at MOH, I got receiving stamped by them which includes the date.
Hope I got to know about ECFMG no. in SON earlier!
Where did you find that you have to enter ECFMG no?
I got to know about ecfmg no. from my friends.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH ,THIS J1 SPONSERSHIP APPEAR IN OASIS LOG IN ON LEFT SIDE???
Yes. It does.

Can we get statement of need without a medical license in india ?
Yes! Statement of need is possible without med license in India. I don’t know the process though but I have friends who applied and got one this year.
@@AksheeBatra Thank you so much for this info , if possible please upload a video regarding this procedure as there are many person's like me searching for this.
Can I use state medical council registration number instead of mci
I don’t know about this! I think you can!
Is there any update about this? Someone please help me I'm so lost 🥲
@@subashiniazhagappa183 where do we need to enter our MCI Number ?
@@subashiniazhagappa183 Yes you can use State Medical council registration instead of MCI for SON.
Isn't it "intended date of arrival"
Hey! Thank you for your comment. I realise than it’s unclear in the video about what I wanted to convey.
I wanted to talk about what to enter in duration of program as residency is 3/4 years but J1 is issued for one year.
DS 2019 usually states your last date as 1 year because J1 visa is issued for 1 year. I initially had confusion whether to fill 1/ 3 year.
I completely agree the form asks for date of arrival and not departure date.
Yeah I figured that's what you meant. There's a question"intended date of arrival" before "intended length of stay in the US".
My understanding is it is "start date of the program" as entered in the DS 2019. So I was a little confused. :-)
Hello, when did you receive the contract from your program? Should I just wait until they start the steps?
@Akshee Batra what did you do?. And the arrival date? I cannot go same day the program starts jajaja
I rejected in J1 visa , now what I do?
Sorry to hear about that
@@AksheeBatra but now I'm in USA 😂😂
@@redalert9250 so let us know why were you rejected and what you did after that? Thank you
