My girlfriend is a doctor in her last year of her medical fellowship on a J-1 visa. She's looking for a job in a medically under-served area but not having a lot of luck. Is there any other way for her not to have to go back to India for two years (it sounds like even marriage to me, a US citizen, won't help her)?
An O-1 would be an option since the 2-year home residency requirement doesn't apply (but it would require her to leave and apply for an O-1 visa after the O-1 petition was approved by USCIS).
