Sorry, I don't understand a point of this thread... please do not form clubs based on your US immigration status...
Caduceus, you are in advantage if you have gc, and there is not need to say that, unless you haven't made it clear for yourself... And, you don't need extra help as gc holder from other gc holders... At least I don't know how I would help you differently from anyone else here on this forum, who does not have it...

you clearly don't understand something... let me clarify it for you:

--GC holder can apply to any program, and it does not matter if programs sponsors J1 or H1... This is the luxury that is not affordable to those who does not have GC... there are a few programs which take only citizens, and there GC is useless. Isn't that clear by definition???

--GC, as well as ANYONE ELSE, can apply to as many programs as your savings allow for...

--GC holder can apply to either U-based vs Com-based programs, regardless the imm status... It largely depends upon your ambitions and personal (not entitled by imm status) desire...

--you are IMG forever, based on your medical school, not US immigration status... You should apply solely based on these criteria...

As for advantage: I said it, not you... And I gave you examples above... Otherwise, GC holders are absolutely the same ppl/applicants as those who need J1 or h1 visa...

agree with justice..

Also, I believe, GC and EAD will have the same advantage then visa requiring FMGs.

Correct... GC and EAD give you a privilege to be employed (but pay taxes though, which are ~25-30% of a salary)... J1 - everything is temporary...

well,I do see some benefit of this thread.there are some programs which are open to both but favaor one particular type undocumented.lemme start by example of st barnabas ny which favour h1/j1 rather than GC,thoh its open to both.i m not saying this on my own but some previous residents are my friends and they told me.may be there are some other examples like that.and may be we can tell each other which programs accept only GC.

  #16

For J1 you pay, H1B programs pays a little.. and wait for visa approval.

What does the program lose if someone has GC.. nothing..... No problem with starting on time or visa being rejected.

and yes.. some programs make you pay 50% eventhough technically they should fully bear the cost. Some programs pay 100% of your fee.

haha, i can see where this post is going... maybe you have the good intention of posting this and get some help.. or maybe you are just showing off that you have a GC... that is why ppl can get offended...regarding me.. i do not care if you are a GC holder or you are here in a B1..

if you are a good candidate they will call you for interview.. you and the other GC holders are going to take advantage of it if a PD is deciding between two similar candidates... if both candidates are good enough, the PD will for sure go for the GC holder because of the paper work..

again.. nobody can tell you the number of programs you should apply.. there isnt a direct correlation in that..
