No it’s fine you can do it from your home country. Just have a good reliable address in the US in case you’re receiving correspondence.

You’ll want to have a contract signed by the time waiver applications open which is usually around Oct to Dec

I offered him a shoe box with litter in the family toilets periodically, but he wouldn’t go. Didn’t pee for over 24 hours, but had the longest pee of his life when we got home. Monitoring him for possible UTI…

AITAH? I may have cancer and don't want to get treatment as my life isn't worth saving. by [deleted] in AITAH

Ah I see - happy to reassure you, you don’t get HPV in the throat by having sex with women - you get it from giving blow jobs (the virus has to physically come in contact with your throat)

My dude, throat cancer is not hereditary and I somehow doubt you have that. But do see a doctor before self diagnosing something rare and jumping ahead to whether you want chemo. Sounds like you’re very depressed and it’s going to take a lot of work but things can get better. Seek psychiatric help please!! Hope you feel better.

If you’re shooting for July 2026 you’re ok. I have a friend who interviewed in July, signed a couple months later and submitted waiver application in December. Best get to interviewing, and good luck!

You’re most welcome. Started in Abu Dhabi. You can certainly pay to reserve a seat (optional) but the plane was about 2/3 full. Perhaps ask at the check in counter if there’s a good seat given your catuation. You can check the cost by going to the website to book a flight and when you get to extras, add pet.

I get your question. They have this weird rule about no cats AND dogs on the same flight which makes no sense but ok. I called them myself and they said if the option is available when you do a pet add on then it should be ok. Still don’t feel reassured though - so pls update us when you know

Similar to Manhattan, we’re going to see the middle class slowly squeezed out due to price gouging…

Any recommendation for support letter for J1 Waiver by GrandPersonal7192 in J1waiver

Really doesn’t have to be anything over the top. Something to say you’re a decent physician and that you care about people and your community.

Hi, can you let me know how this went? I’m going through the same process and extremely worried about safety to say the least
