Apogee Visa Program

At Apogee we are proud to have our own, in-house counsel for physician’s immigration matters. This enables us to sponsor physicians who are on a J-1 Visa Waiver, or a non-immigrant H1B Visa as well as the renewal of the H1B visa. The cost of this service and filings is covered fully by Apogee to all Apogee physicians. We start the permanent sponsorship for physicians the first day an employment contract is signed and received by our office. This allows our physicians to obtain their green card up to one year earlier than they would have otherwise. In addition, Apogee will also process the non-immigrant H-4 visa for a spouse and child(ren).

What to expect once you join with Apogee Physicians

• If you are already on a J-1 visa, we will apply for your J-1 visa waiver sponsorship.


• If you are already on a H1B visa, we will file your H1B approval through Apogee.


• Recruitment will be placed per the US Department of Labor Regulations.


• Filing for the PERM (Labor Certification) with the Department of Labor.


• The I-140 is filed. This is the filing of the Immigration Work Petition with the USCIS.


• The green card application, Adjustment of Status is filed for you and your family.

Remember that Apogee begins this entire process of obtaining your green card as soon as you sign an employment agreement. Our promise to you is to deliver high quality services while providing individual support to you. We will keep you informed about the process of your case, procedures and estimated processing times.
