A community of 30,000 US Transcriptionist serving Medical Transcription Industry
If you think you are getting more and more ESL dictators, you are probably right. According to a public website, there were 2130 Visa petitions/applications and 748 Green Card petitions/applications for PHYSICIANS for the year 2010 alone. That does not include all the ESL physicians that came into the United States over the previous years. Yes, some applications were denied, but why do these hospitals feel they need that many foreign physicians to begin with.
If you are interested, you can search by Industry, State, or even a particular Hospital name, to see how many Visa or Green Card applications were submitted for any occupation.
In fact, there were applications submitted for 2 Green Cards for MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTIONISTS. What is up with that ??? I hope it was someone’s relative.
