hi all,
I am a doctor presently working in KMC, Manipal. I am have written my USMLE and am going for interviews in Nov and Dec as i am applying for next yr residency prog which will start in July 2007.
In the mean time i have got a offer to Work in Doha, Qatar as primary care specialist in Hamad Medical Coporation which is a Govt based Job in Qatar and monthly salary they offfer is very good. I thought i can work and save in Qatar for 6 months before i can join my residency in US.
I am willing to continue with my USMLE prog and i will be sponsored my the US hospital either H1B or ECFMG will sponsor will J1 visa.
I need to know if me taking up a job in Qatar for 6 months will anyway effect my Hib or J1 visa being rejected. As far as i can think, i think if i apply for H1b then, VO can reject my application saying that i am potential immigrant.
But if i take a J1, then i will have to come back to India as thats the visa rule in J1.
I dont mind doing my residency in US in whichever visa i get....but i want to apply correctly so that they cant deny me one....
pls give ur inputs in this regards
with regards
