Once he finds an employer that is willing to sponsor him for the permanent residency, yes.

hi bbb,
i am presently an intern on a h1b visa, and an employer assured me that they would hire me after residency training. they said that they would be willing to sponsor me for a green card. can one apply for permanent status while one is still doing residency on a h1b visa? my prospective employer said that they're going to write the INS a letter of intent to hire me right after training -- so would it be possible to apply for permanent resident status now?

Hi
Yes, you can apply for your green card while doing your residency.

Hi lf777,
Thanks for replying to my question. I have another one -- should I ask for a contract now? Is there a book you can recommend on how to negotiate, the right questions to ask, etc.?
Thanks in advance.

Manggagamot - do you have an employer who is willing to sponsor the greencard for you? Then yes, ask.
