Description
The Minnesota J-1 Visa Waiver program is administered by the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) through its Office of Rural Health and Primary Care (ORHPC). The department maintains a dedicated program page for eligibility requirements, application instructions, and further program information.
MDH has reopened the application process because it had not received 30 eligible applications by October 12, 2026. The extended window remains open until that threshold is reached, with applications approved on a first-come, first-served basis.
