I have finished my residency (internal medicine 2006-2009) and joined as
assistant professor in a big univ. this year, so my 4th year of H1B visa
started in July 2009.
I have been offered fellowship training (3 yr duration) if I work here as asst. professor for 3 years.
I plan to have the univ. file for my GC. However, there are a couple of concerns:
1. if the GC is filed for my current job profile (asst professor, salary 120k), will i be able to transition to fellowship in 3 years (clinical fellow, salary 50K) keeping the GC process active? Since I dont think the Gc will be done by the time fellowship needs to start (3 yrs)
2. is it possible to file for GC for a job in the future.. (asst prof) that I will join after completion of fellowship (which will be 6 yrs from now). and then the transition should be ok?
3. fellowships in this univ are usually only offered on j1 visas but i am hoping that since they will file for my GC, they will allow me to do fellowship on extended H1 as well.
Thanks
