Good news for medical professionals who want to enter the United States legally.
Recently, the government announced an exception under the National Interest that allows healthcare professionals to apply for different types of visas, despite the restrictions implemented at the beginning of 2026 that affected several countries, including Venezuela and Cuba.
What does this mean for you?
If you are a doctor, nurse, or part of the medical field, you may now have the opportunity to apply for visas such as the J visa, H-1B, or even immigrant categories like EB-1, EB-2, and EB-3. These options not only allow you to work legally in the United States, but in many cases can also open a path to permanent residency.
This change represents an important opportunity for healthcare professionals seeking to practice in the United States through legal pathways.
Every case is different and must be evaluated individually.
