Sign-On Immigration Letter to Department of State and the Department of Homeland Security on H-1B Visas

July 08, 2020

To: The Honorable Mike Pompeo and The Honorable Chad Wolf

"It is critical not to endanger patient care and our research enterprise by closing our borders to skilled health and science professionals during this pandemic and beyond. We must ensure that the U.S. has a fair and efficient immigration system that strengthens American health care and advances the nation’s healthsecurity. As such, all physicians are mission critical and it is in our nation’s interest to allow them and their families into the U.S. Thus, the signatories below urge the Administration to consider H-1B physicians and their families’ entry into the U.S. to be in the national interest of the country so that families can remain together and IMG physicians can immediately begin to provide health care to U.S. patients. We sincerely appreciate your attention to this critical matter."
