On March 26, the Department of State (DOS) announced that “medical professionals with an approved U.S. non-immigrant or immigrant visa petition (I-129 or I-140 with a current priority date, or similar) or a certificate of eligibility in an approved exchange visitor program (DS-2019), particularly those working to treat or mitigate the effects of COVID-19, to review the website of their nearest embassy or consulate for procedures to request a visa appointment.”
Also, DOS encourages foreign or international medical graduates (FMGs or IMGs) in the United States to “consult with their program sponsor, ECFMG, to extend their programs in the United States.”
