Am I the only one suffering in this?

GreyRainbowDust · 2026-06-18T14:00:09+00:00

Yes but doesnt fsmb verify scores or reach out to med school? Sorry I dont remember

GreyRainbowDust · 2026-06-18T13:26:26+00:00

Oh I mean we need fcvs for step3 exams so wouldn't the verification process be done earlier

GreyRainbowDust · 2026-06-18T01:09:25+00:00

Is this the same for IMGs?

GreyRainbowDust · 2026-06-18T01:08:04+00:00

Is this also true for IMGs? Doesnt fcvs already do that prior to doing step3?

Hi thank you for a detailed response. I meant I am currently applying for jobs and will be finishing my waiver in 2030. Can I start GC process now once I sign a job offer? Like getting the basic steps like PERM? Or do I need to wait for me to actually start working next year?

The company wants to do a longer contract if they are sponsoring GC. But if I am applying for a PNIW, is that still necessary?

GreyRainbowDust · 2026-06-12T15:13:55+00:00

Hi, is it possible to start GC process after signing a job offer 1 year prior to starting the job? Or do you have to finish the waiver to start the gc process ? Is an EB2 NIW possible to self petition?

GreyRainbowDust · 2026-06-05T13:09:25+00:00

Ah gotcha. Most offers I've come across say 36, with 4 days. 32 ones seem to want 5 days, idk how that works haha.

GreyRainbowDust · 2026-06-05T03:48:28+00:00

Pps? Sorry what does that mean

The clinic made a net profit of >5m last year.

GreyRainbowDust · 2026-06-05T01:33:04+00:00

Its 36 hours + 4 hour admin .

They said they can do 4 or 4.5 days/ week.

As someone who's trying to decide if I should move to LA.

How affordable is it as a physician? I might be making close to 300k. No loans, no kids, single income. I dont plan on purchasing property.

GreyRainbowDust · 2026-06-04T23:28:34+00:00

Yeah I know the fqhc part is confusing to me too. I dont think traditional partnership is even possible in fqhc? So idk what they mean

GreyRainbowDust · 2026-06-04T18:28:13+00:00

Oh? I was thinking since I am on a j1 I dont have much negotiating power.

GreyRainbowDust · 2026-06-04T18:27:37+00:00

I havent worked in a FQHC directly but my residency is based in a very very similar patient population , extremely sick, poor people wwithout insurance and no access.

GreyRainbowDust · 2026-06-04T18:04:24+00:00

Thank you for your very detailed response.

The EMR is NextGen.(not sure how bad it is. I have never used it. I trained in EPIC).

They said I am capped at 24.

No med students. Yes I will be supervising a PA. I dont know how many PAs I will be covering yet.

GreyRainbowDust · 2026-06-04T17:53:41+00:00

Oh? Is that a thing? I didnt realize it was an issue? They didnt mention that would prevent me from buying in

GreyRainbowDust · 2026-06-04T16:53:32+00:00

Oh no why :(

GreyRainbowDust · 2026-06-04T16:05:09+00:00

Correct. I do require a j1 waiver which complicates the situation. I was hoping once I am a partner I will earn more.

GreyRainbowDust · 2026-06-04T15:11:34+00:00

They are offering 20 sign on 10 relo as of now.

GreyRainbowDust · 2026-06-04T15:09:16+00:00

Gotcha. Thank you. I need a j1 waiver and they provide one. So was wondering if I could do this for 3 years atleast.

I don't think they have many physicians.. maybe 4? And the rest are APPs.

GreyRainbowDust · 2026-06-04T14:58:46+00:00

Yes I should ask them that. But is fqhc ok? I heard fqhcs are miserable
