Delaware Conrad State 30 J-1 Visa Waiver Program

302.744.4700

The Delaware Conrad State 30 J-1 Visa Waiver Program offers a J-1 visa waiver to foreign physicians who commit to serving for 3 years in an approved area of Delaware, waiving the foreign medical residency requirement and allowing them to remain in the United States. The program is intended to provide physician services in areas that typically have difficulty attracting and retaining physicians.

Primary care physicians, specialty, and sub-specialty trained physicians are eligible to apply. Primary care is considered to be family practice, general internal medicine, general pediatrics, and obstetrics/gynecology.

This is an incentive program that offers foreign physicians a visa waiver, allowing them to work in the U.S.

The Delaware Division of Public Health shall charge a non-refundable processing fee of $200 to each sponsoring site submitting a site application. A non-refundable processing fee of $250 shall be charged to each pre-approved site to process the waiver request application for each J-1 physician that the site plans to employ.

Links to additional guidance and application instructions are available on the program website.

Completed applications and processing fees should be mailed to:
