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.

This checker is an independent tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by HRSA, CMS, or any state health department. It does not provide immigration advice. Always confirm eligibility with the state Primary Care Office for the state where you intend to practice, and consult an immigration attorney for guidance specific to your situation.
