THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM.
1/
Premium processing is THE WAY that these trainees are able to have visas processed in a timeline that best prepares them to practice at their place of employment starting in July. Disallowing premium processing means a delay in their visa status, which delays credentialing.
2/
This is likely to lead to a 3-4 month delay in their being able to see patients at the conclusion of their training. This will effect 1200-1500 physicians who are completing residency here in the United States, most of which will be practicing in underserved areas.
