J-1 Visa Waiver Eligibility Check
Check whether a practice location meets the federal HPSA/MUA baseline that most state Conrad 30 J-1 visa waiver programs require.
Check a practice location
Enter a practice location to check whether it meets the federal shortage-area baseline. State Conrad 30 programs generally require non-flex practice sites to be located in an applicable federally designated HPSA or MUA/MUP. States may use up to 10 annual Flex slots for sites outside those areas when the physician will serve patients residing in designated underserved areas, subject to state-specific requirements.
This checks the federal baseline only. It does not evaluate any individual state's additional Conrad 30 rules, slot availability, or specialty-specific requirements — see the note on the results page.
