CAF doubt....urgent - sasthicharan

[ArchivalUser]

Hello everybody,
While filling out the profile section of my ERAS CAF there is a question which says ' If you are a foreign national, outside the US please respond: Will you need " visa sponsorship" through ECFMG(J1) or the teaching hospital(H1B) to participate in U.S residency training?'

If I answer 'yes' they are not giving me any further option. If I answer 'no' they are giving me a whole bunch of Expected visa/ Employment Authorization Status options.

Calling ERAS was not helpful.

I am a foreign national and need visa....what should I write? Has anyone else faced this problem? Please help. Thanks in advance.

answer YES
you need visa - either J1 or H1 so click on that option
No is for people who have been authorized legal permanent residence so that why there is a bunch of options. ignore that. click yes
