    Not enough information.

    Are you a foreign medical graduate? Are you subject to the 212(e) 2-year home residency requirement? Check the visa for an annotation and your DS-2019. To really be sure, have an attorney check for government funding of the program and if your position is on the FAM Skills list.

    Good luck.
