Doctors usually apply under a different visa category. They apply under J-1 visa and not H1B.
You don’t know what you are talking about. They can apply for H1B too

Strange cos America doesn’t import doctors that much.
Are you sure or you are just plain ignorant huh
About 30% of annual training spots go to the IMGs ?
Recently, a family friend sent me a document from a state in the US that now allows foreign trained Doctors to work in rural communities without the USMLE .
Go figure 😎

I think PhD holders are in this context because how can a tech company Amazon take up 10,000 medical doctors in the first half of 2025? haba, its impossible to me. when it is not that it's a medical company or hospital. I guess they are referring to PhD holders too. My thought.
They are not referring to medical doctors, that part of the story is just saying Amazon got the highest H1-B visas which are mainly for tech workers.

This guys will drive this high demand skills to other countries like Canada. I see more American companies giving more remote opportunities.

Trump fails to understand that legal migration is not the problem. They claim jobs are being stolen from Americans, but the data shows that it is those unskilled jobs, menial jobs that they’ve refused to do that is being impacted the most.
is trump not helping us.... That money our politicians want to use to send their kids abroad and buy properties, let them use it to invest in Africa... He said it that he doesn't want to be politically correct.... When d white man wants to cheat you, they'll hide under human rights... Yes let them bring their money abroad, they have human rights, but they know that money is for millions of people back at home.... Africa wise up....

Canada cant absorb them all. It has a very small economy.
Bulk of this company’s (mostly Fortune 500) have locations in Canada- Canada has almost multiple time zones that matches the major American cities.

It’s not rocket science. I don’t immediately see the economic constraints, in short I see positives- this will impact Canadian immigration system positively.

I’m just highlighting this so people looking to study the US with the ultimate hope of working there should pivot to Canada instead.

The USA does have a doctor shortage. Yes, more doctors go to UK because the route is easier, but the US also takes in a lot of foreign doctors...

I don’t think these politicians children are chasing H1 B visas lol. Na people like me and you Dey chase that level.

You think Wike pikin wan go work for yankee, he’s most likely already a citizen like most of them kids.

So chill lol

And the werey Trump has just made it more difficult for people like us because where we wan see 100k?

Updated: I just find out that the 100k is not paid by individuals but rather the company that hired them and filed for the work visa on their behalf.

Less than 300 Nigerians got it in 2024. Most Nigerian(s) get their papers through marriage
(real and arrangee) and EB 1 visa.
Another junk journalism

Problem with Nigerians is being unnecessarily confrontational and argumentative. Was is it necessary to call me plain ignorant?

Anyways back to the topic. I believe Residency programs use J1 visas or F1 not H1b. I don’t know the stats for foreign med students but I know US doesn’t import foreign trained doctors in the sense that your residency will have to be in the US.

Childish . Doing things without reasoning. Instead of first of all hold consultations before taking decisions. Making U.S look as if there's no leadership direction.
They actually don't have directions. US policy changes based on their president's mood swings. Its pathetic.

Fewer companies would be interested in bringing in skilled workers.

They'll have to use citizens.
