Please help me to decide. I am now in the process for greencard application which takes a long time now.

Is that worthwhile to wait for 1-2 yr to get greencard in order to have more
chance for residency match? ( maybe even longer, who knows. I heard someone
had name check cleared after 5 yrs! )

Or should one get matched as early as possible with H-1 or J-1, then do a fellow? How slim is the chance to get H-1 for a old (almost 10 yr) graduate, but with very good score?


I know it will be ideal to match into a pretigious Residency program,
but if one decide to and can find a fellowship in a pretty good hospital,
maybe get into a not-well-known program is not that bad at all?

Thanks a lot!

From what I underatand if you get an H1 or a J visa will not be able to get an greencard until those visa's expire.

You can holding H-1, but not J-1, while applying Greencard.
