The United States is begging medical professionals all over the world to come to the US to help fight COVID-19 pandemic.

We encourage medical professionals seeking work in the U.S. on a work or exchange visitor visa (H or J), particularly those working on #COVID19 issues, to the nearest U.S. Embassy/ Consulate for a visa appointment.

Update on H and J Visas for Medical Professionals

We encourage medical professionals seeking to work in the United States on a work or exchange visitor, particularly those working to treat or mitigate the effects of COVID-19, to reach out to the nearest embassy or consulate to request a visa appointment.

For those foreign medical professionals already in the United States:

J-1 Alien Physicians (medical residents) may consult with their program sponsor, ECFMG, to extend their programs in the United States. Generally, a J-1 program for a foreign medical resident can be extended one year at a time for up to seven years.

Note that the expiration date on a U.S. visa does not determine how long one can be in the United States. The way to confirm one’s required departure date is here: https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/#/home.

Those who need to extend their stay or adjust their visa status must apply with USCIS. Their website is here: https://www.uscis.gov/visit-united-states/extend-your-stay

Hope the USA now knows that nobody is self sufficient. They have been treating the rest of the world like shit. May this pandemic end soonest

Where are all those doctors that wouldn't let us rest with relocating to the US? Oya, US is calling. Pick their call

they need people to drive ambulance too. All those folks who see US as Heaven can apply for Driver Visa. What a time to be alive. So a time will come when the mighty US of A will literally be hawking visa on social media for medical personnel. This disease literally has their cullies and shots in it's hands

We dey find visa since. We no see, now this one is by force visa

Selfish bunch of hypocrisy

Eventhough many are willing to die in USA than to be alive in 9ja and be suffering

Let thy will be done O'lord !

they should opt for fidel-castro trained doctors...they are available in large quantities


time for Americans to shield their pride and beg CUBA for doctors

Almighty USA?
E be like e don jam dem

Suddenly, the need to "japa" is no longer appealing.

Dear US Embassy and Consulate,

We are content with our country at this time, although we are continually mired by the unrelenting attempt of the government and the head of state to take a shit on us and would not hesitate to migrate under saner conditions if given the opportunity. Recent happenings have informed our decision to sit our asses down and continue to tolerate our present government.

Hang in there though, once the plague es, we will come running at your doors again! with even more force this time.

Kind regards,

Nigerian medics and by extension, Nigerians.

Hmmm

Water don garri oga don run away.




Even a whole USA that is always claiming word power here and there don day beg for doctor.


Even If u are a native doctor hope u know u can apply.all doctor na doctor.

Obviously US doesn't have enough workers, yet they deny people visas, Pride comes before a fall... See now

Ha! Our few good doctors will leave Nigeria

"...the most powerful country in the world"

I think the Trumpeters in this country can apply then. Please apply now ooo.

On a serious note, this is just bloody insensitive. Italy and China have been managing their cases without asking for the services of foreign expatriates. Tells a lot about your health workers.
