How Our Data Works
What You'll Receive
Access to a comprehensive database of hospitals that have sponsored physicians on visas since 2017.
Information Provided
State-level data: Number of positions, number of hospitals, and historical sponsorship trends.
Hospital-level data: Institution name, location, number of positions sponsored, years of sponsorship activity, and salary information.
Pricing: Our pricing works out to $5 per hospital, per state (state prices vary based on how many hospitals appear in that state for a specialty).
Example (What This Looks Like)
Below is an example from our anesthesiology list for Maine.

When you click Extra Information for a specific hospital, you see the position-level USCIS records behind that hospital. The highlighted rows are the positions that are most likely to be J-1 waiver positions.

Identifying J-1 Waiver Positions
New to the process? Read our step-by-step guide: Strategic Plan for Obtaining a J-1 Waiver Position.
Three things to look for:
- Employment start date: in July, August or September
- Visa sponsorship duration: 3 years ^ sign: New visa sponsorship
- If a position is meets all three criteria, it is likely a J1-waiver position!
How This Data Benefits You
- Save time by focusing on hospitals with proven sponsorship history
- Discover institutions that don't advertise J-1 sponsorship but have sponsored waivers before
- Negotiate better compensation with salary data context
- Make informed decisions about where to apply based on historical data
Who This Service Is For
This service is exclusively designed for medical fellows and residents seeking J-1 waiver positions.
Registration Requirement: To ensure our database serves legitimate medical professionals in training, we verify access using an institutional email address (university or hospital email). You can still register with a personal email, but you will be asked to verify the institutional email during the process.
Why this requirement? We don't allow recruiters to access this database and resell it to their clients at large markups. We have refunded recruiters in the past and this verification protects fellows and residents and keeps pricing fair for trainees.
Verification steps we are adding:
- Automatically email a verification link from sign.j-1waiver.com to the institutional address.
- If you are purchasing for a spouse/partner, add a comment at checkout and provide their institutional email for verification.
- Partner/spouse purchases are allowed, but we still require verification of the resident/fellow's institutional email.
