| Suraj Kunhi Purayil has already spent time in U.S. hospitals. Born
| and now living in India, he completed medical school in the
| Caribbean and completed his third and fourth year clinical
| clerkships at a hospital in Michigan. He's supposed to start a
| residency at an Ohio hospital on July 1, but his J-1 visa was
| rejected because the immigration officers assumed Kunhi Purayil
| intended to immigrate to the U.S. He said he's not sure exactly why
| they came to that conclusion, but figures that the time he's already
| spent in the U.S., which helped his chances at snagging a residency
| spot, could be working against him on his visa application. "They
| mostly wanted to know why we traveled to the U.S ... so I explained
| to them it's part of my med school curriculum where I have to go do
| 74 weeks of clinical clerkship in the U.S," Kunhi Purayil says. "I
| think that might not have been a satisfactory answer." (Many of the
| students at Caribbean medical schools are U.S. citizens who couldn't
| snag one of the limited spots at U.S. medical schools and clerkships
| at U.S. hospitals is one of their selling points.)

Will Trump award Kevin Lynn and his DoctorsWithoutJobs.ORG the
Presidential Medal for Freedom?
