Kind of weird that the usa prioritizes software developers over healthcare workers in the immigration system .
- lotsofpulp 4y agoThere has long been an immigration program for foreign doctors to gain the right to live and work in the US in exchange for first living in a rural/poor part of the US where most doctors do not want to live.

Doctors are different and it's incredibly difficult for a doctor with a foreign degree to practice in US. I know this for a fact since I come a place where almost every other house has a nurse working in Europe/US

Immigrant doctors have to be willing to live in the least popular parts of the US. > One reason USCIS may grant the national interest waiver is because a physician agrees to work for a period of time in a designated underserved area.
