Physician filing green card
Question details
1. I am a Canadian physician on an H-1B (never been on J-1) which expires June 30th, 2017. I am currently doing a 2 year fellowship. I'm contemplating pursuing the physician NIW process vs EB-2 through potential employer.
For EB-2, my understanding is that I need to be eligible for a full-time physician position on the day the employer submits the ad. Since I won't complete my general residency until June 30th, 2016, my potential employer cannot begin recruitment until July 1, 2016, correct?<br>
2. In your experience, is 1 year enough time to complete the EB-2 process?
See clip from Attorney Rajiv S. Khanna's conference call video that addresses this question.
I had a short telephone conversation with Mr. Khanna. He had reviewed my credentials and he seems to understand my case and also gave me several suggestion on how to go about the green card. Further, he is well aware of the problems associated with the scientific researchers applying for green card. I would recommend his expertise to everyone as now I am aware of process, which is of great help to me.
