PORTALS FOR VISITORS | PHYSICIANS

Welcome to our website. We have included a great deal of information specifically related to immigration matters for International Medical Graduates (IMG), and we hope that the time spent on our site proves useful orienting you to immigration matters for physicians. We certainly invite you to contact us further to discuss your own individual needs.

Aronson & Associates is widely regarded as one of the preeminent immigration law firms working specifically with foreign physicians and their employers. Our involvement in immigration matters for physicians dates back to 1991, at which time Robert Aronson published a seminal article synthesizing certain contradictions between medical credentialing, state licensure policy and immigration standards so as to create a new analytical approach to immigration cases for foreign physicians. In the ensuing years, the firm’s immigration practice for the physician and healthcare community has grown exponentially, and the firm’s Physician Immigration Practice Group is perhaps the largest and most sophisticated assemblage of physician immigration practitioners in the country. Through our focus on immigration matters for physicians and allied healthcare professionals, we serve a national clientele comprised of medical groups, academic hospitals, universities, private medical practices, VA facilities, etc.

• In direct reflection of his capabilities, commitment, and passion for immigration matters impacting foreign physicians, Robert Aronson over the years has received widespread acknowledgements for his work in the field, as exemplified by the following:
• Appointed as immigration legal counsel to the Council on Graduate Medical Education (COGME), a Congressionally created advisory body to the Secretary of Health and Human Services;
• Author of leading articles in J-1 Waivers, the Conrad State 30 Program, and National Interest Waivers for Physicians;
• Chair and/or presenter at roughly 15 plenary programs at the annual conference of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA);
• Founder and Chair (1992-2001) of the National Healthcare Access Coalition, a group dedicated to the enhancement of physician immigration policy;
• Former Chair of the Physician Taskforce of the American Immigration Lawyers Association;
• Recurrent contributor to publications of the American Medical Association on immigration law and policy for physicians;
• Recurrent speaker at conferences organized by the legal and healthcare communities.

You will find on this site a great deal of information of potential interest to you, dealing both with J-1 Waivers and affirmative options for physicians and healthcare professionals to obtain lawful status. We would also call your attention to a selection of articles dealing with various aspects of immigration laws and policy for foreign physicians. We also want to invite you to affirmatively contact us to receive a free copy of a two-part article co-authored by Robert Aronson and Dinesh Shenoy entitled “Zeno’s Revenge”, which is a benchmark study on the background, underlying policies, and actual practice of governmental agencies recommending J-1 Waivers to international medical graduates.
