1. I received an e-mail stating to send my EAD/Green card/US passport to them before the interview....I don't have any of them.....Have they e-mailed me mistakenly?

2.Is it a university or a community program?

Thanxsmiling face

hey, i also recieved the same email...if u have neither, then u are supposed to state which visa u prefer..atleast that is what they instructed me to do..they also asked me to fax my high school marksheets and a letter from my dean..i have decided not to interview there...no time to do all the stuff..it's a community based program..one of my friend is doing his preliminary there,,not impressed by the program at all....more than 90% geriatric patients..

hey..here is the story:

I call them..get an automated reply telling they do sponsor H1..my friend calls and they say, they wont..another friend is actually an PGY1 there(prelim), but he has GC and doesnt have the time or doesnt bother to check it out for me... i didnt pursue it further 'coz i am not going there for interview anyways..because the invitation was so weird..they want proof that i know elementary physics, chemistry and math...anyways i am going to call them after a couple of hours and find out..i'll update you then....

on second thoughts..is it mandatory for all Jersey programs that u give proof of completing credits in Physics, Chem and Math???..this is the only Jersey IV i've got so maybe others who got from other Jersey programs can shed light on it

    Thanks a lot gingko and PGI2 for your comments.I called them today and received a voice mail which said We do sponsor Hi and/or J1 visa ....(Voice was not so clear:-(.........But, e-mail directly from the co-ordinator saying that they don't sponsor H1B is valid enopugh to be believed.....I was wondering Why did I receive the call since I need Visa...Moreover, I didn't get the e-mail in ERAS...I got it directly into my hotmail inbox.......

    Any comments...
    Thanxsmiling face

    But that is the only call so far. So I will take it. Scheduled for 7th of Nov
