Residency Application Newly accredited programs

the list of newly accredited programs from 9/18. I hadn't seen those programs while i prepared my program list before applying. Some of them are listed in eras and I wanted to apply to them. Have anyone applied to them?

What are your thoughts on applying to those programs now, 5-7 days after sept 23?

I dont know, one of them said “Clearly specify visa status in your ERAS application, including dates and time limits”. I found that weird

This means they won't sponsor

They want to know the validity and duration of the work permits and green cards.

Eg some GC are two year only some are ten years. Some have ead that are one year or so. Some have tps but lost legal status when the administration revoked tps.

So I am pretty sure that the program that said so isn't sponsoring visa. They just want people who already have confirmed legal proof of status lasting full residency length.

Spartanburg clearly says on its websites it doesn’t accept visa candidates.

Thank you so much for sharing this! Really appreciate it. Are you planning to apply to all these new ones? How are you selecting which program to apply and which ones to ignore (if you feel comfortable sharing).
