other options:
- get married a US citizen during your H-1 residency, apply for adjustment of status to green card, go to fellowship as a permanent resident
- finish H-1 residency, work on H1-B in primary care for 3 years, apply for adjustment of status to green card, wait until you receive your green card, then apply for a fellowship
- apply for a green card lottery while in H-1 residency, if you win, you can continue fellowship as a permanent resident
