Hi mamac,
Hey it depends on the whether the hospital is non profit organization or the other.Most of the hospitals fall in to non profit org.So these non profit hospitals dont fall under H1 cap.But the rest would.For ex suny buffalo,st.vincents worchester etc fall under cap and they have to file like any other H1 quota.
I dont know about any site which would mention that list...
No u dnt need to do any extra paper wrk.only if u want to send 2 different personal statements fr both u can send personalized fr each.

quota was recently increased by another 20,000 ..besides students who graduate from US with masters / pHD have a separate quota of 20,000
bill clinton has pushed for increased H1 limits to more than 1,00,000 per year..
lets see :-)

But wait - there are non-profit and not-for-profit hospitals. Be careful of where you get your H visa sponsored. If it's a cap-exempt program, then you will have to find a green card sponsor at a cap-exempt program following your residency. It's in the rules.

Okay - if you get an H visa at "Bob's Hospital" which is a cap exempt program and you are now looking for employment following residency - your employer after residency who is going to sponsor the permanent residency (green card) must have the same cap-exempt status.
This is why a J1 visa is better - you don't fall under the cap or cap exempt status and ANY institution that is willing to sponsor the green card can do so.
Clear as my program directors' coffee making skills?
Good luck

I have worked with residents since 1988 and I can count maybe 8-10 residents who have returned to their home countries. Most of the time it was because they wanted to return. H1 visas are not fellowship friendly - it's harder to get a fellowship on an H visa than a J1 visa.
Search through the forums here for visa information - I say the same thing over and over and over. J1 visas are the better visa choice at this time. Most every resident will find a waiver position. True, it may not be where you want to live for the rest of your life, but you can stand anything for a couple of months, eh?
Last graduation year, I had residents on J1 visas who either started fellowship or they found waivers. Several residents on H1b visas are currently in their home countries still searching for a green card sponsor.
Good luck

I read somewhere that waivers are getting more and more difficult to get these days, and that they want to pass a law to extend the duration to five years, making it even more difficult to get waivers, because positions will be filled for more time.
Another question bbb...how do I know if the program i want to go is cap-exempt?? and what´s the difference between non-profit and not-for-profit? Which of them is cap-exempt?

I'm certain that if a program is cap-exempt, they will tell you if you ask. As for the other question, I haven't figure out the difference between non-profit and not-for-profit and both could be cap-exempt.
Good luck
