Once you have been offered a position, your department will work with OIA to secure your immigration documents. If your department has questions about the procedures for hiring a foreign national, ask them to contact OIA.
I am a foreign medical graduate, and I would like to do my residency (or part of my residency) at Jefferson.
You will need to work through the department for your position. Check the Jefferson website for your specialty and inquire directly to the department about application procedures. Once you have been offered a position, contact ECFMG about J-1 sponsorship. If your department has questions about the H-1B application process, they should contact OIA.
I have permanent residency in the U.S. and I would like to work or study at Jefferson. Do I need anything from your office?
Since you have permanent residency ("Green Card," I-551 stamp), you are considered to be an immigrant with employment authorization incidental to your immigrant status. Therefore, you do not need any additional documents from our office in order to accept employment at Jefferson.
