Why is it said that J1 visa IMGs have a better chance than H1 visa holders in getting fellowship??

If a IMG comes on J1.....does he pursue his/her fellowship straightaway after completing residency or do they return to their home country for 2years and then apply for fellowship?

Thank you for your advice.

Programs like the J1 for two reasons - it's cheaper and easier for the hospital.

And residents on a J1 can complete residency and fellowship before returning to their home country. IF they return home.

Good luck
