Nebraska State 30 J-1 Visa Waiver Program
| The Nebraska State 30 J-1 Visa Waiver Program is a voluntary
program administered within the Office of Rural Health. The program was created
by federal legislation in 1994. The program is intended to help provide
federal shortage areas with physician services where U.S. trained physicians will not
locate. Communities may submit applications which meet the Nebraska State 30 J-1 waiver guidelines. The applications are reviewed by the Office of Rural Health, and then are sponsored or denied by the Health and Human Services Chief Medical Officer. The review and sponsorship decision by the State of Nebraska is determined within two weeks and the review and approval process by the Department of State and Citizenship and Immigration Service takes approximately four months. Please contact Tom Rauner for additional questions about the program, thomas.rauner@nebraska.gov, (402) 471-0148. |
