J1 Rheum Job in Manhattan, NY?

[drgogu]

I am a first year rheum fellow.

How difficult it is to find a J1 rheum job in Manhattan, NY? I talked to a few recruiters and they told me there were no spots available. Is it easier to find ones in the other boroughs? Thanks.

I would imagine most of the people in Manhattan don't count as an underserved population, and therefore the area would not be eligeble for a waiver position. They're probably right, the other boroughs might be your best shot but chances are still slim. Maybe NJ or CT if you're restricted around the island, but expect a somewhat decent commute of 30 min to an hour.

The only way I could imagine this working out is if you could find a VA job (which isn't geographically restricted like most J1s).

I wonder if there is any legal way (that may probably involve a lawyer) to bypass this somehow and get a job in NY? (other than working in VA).

Just being realistic, I highly doubt in the developing political climate that there will be easy ways to end-around federal visa programs...

Get hardship waiver if u can

to give an idea, ppl on H1 find it extremely hard to get jobs in NY boroughs(forget Manhattan). even adjacent NJ closer to manhattan is saturated. Good luck with finding waiver job in southern connecticut or mid Long island - at least 2 hours away from manhattan.
As for NJ, they dont do specialist waiver
As for VA, ppl work here for decades and have no intention to move elsewhere other than retiring. Even if they do, US citizens would pounce on that opportunity.

US citizens wouldn't pounce on the VA. Benefits are good but the whole system is crap.
