Visa Guidance (IMGs)
If you are an International Medical Graduate (IMG) planning US clinical electives, observerships, research programs, or academic rotations as part of your USMLE journey, securing the correct U.S. visa is a critical first step.
Most IMGs begin by obtaining an invitation or acceptance letter from their chosen hospital, academic program, or research institution. Once accepted, you can proceed to apply for the appropriate U.S. non-immigrant visa.
Important Disclaimer:
Visa approval is solely at the discretion of the U.S. Embassy or Consulate. Programs and hospitals cannot influence visa decisions. Our guidance is informational only and does not constitute legal advice. For personalised guidance, consult a qualified U.S. immigration attorney.
