Official abstract

This rule contains a correction to an Immigration and Naturalization Service (Service) interim rule, published in the Federal Register on Wednesday, September 6, 2000, at 65 FR 53889. The interim rule established the procedure under which a physician may obtain a waiver of the job offer requirement that applies to alien beneficiaries of second preference employment-based immigrant visa petitions if the physician is willing to practice full-time in an area designated by the Secretary of Health and Human Services as having a shortage of health care professionals, or in a facility operated by the Department of Veterans Affairs.
