Hey all!
I have a quick question regarding the information displayed in FREIDA, in the 'general' tab, under the heading:
IMGs should have, among other qualifications, one or more of the following. Contact the program for additional information
Does a 'NO' mean the IMG doesnt need to have a J-1, and that the program will sponsor it?
Does that go on to mean that a 'YES' implies an IMG needs to have a visa and the program won't sponsor it?
What i'm eventually trying to take from this exercise is to be sure that when I go through details of programs that I'm applying too, I know which ones sponsor visas for IMGs and which dont.
PS: I already tried going through individual program sites to see whether they take IMGs or not and its a VERY tedious process - and i'd rather figure out from this listing.
Thank you for all your help!
